I have an older Truemove Sim and guessing quite old now in fact Now common sense would say get a new Sim and dont sweat the small stuff but obviously others that know the number would find it inactive subsequently Can I cut the damn thing lol or is it likely to destroy it ?? I'm not in Thailand and dont want to lose it with OTP in play for the banks ??

Chivas replied to CharlieH's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
In a nutshell re Sterling'Dollar.....in fact it would be even worse if the Baht hadn't weakened out against the USD as well -

@KannikaP What are you confused about this time ?? Baht in light of the Asean crisis was floated to find its own level in 1997 -

It floats against the USD and has done since 1997 -
GBP Sterling dropping like a stone ?
Chivas replied to CharlieH's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Sterling is heavily down against the US Dollar on one side of the pairings and is the sole reason our Sterling/Baht rate has diminished (Sterling/Dollar) x (Dollar/Baht) is the number crunch. Movement in either pairing effects the bottom line Baht itself is the weakest its been for around 5 years it should be added at around 34.30 give or take -

This thread really does highlight the need for Thailand to drop all their immigration requirements bar the Covid vaccination upload -
British press support UK pensioners losing out in Thailand
Chivas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm not advocating anything illegal I'm just saying with more emphasis perhaps that anyone who "completely" burns their bridges with their home country frankly needs their head examining I will give one incredibly easy example of retaining your/our "status" within the UK......It is incredibly easy to remain on your GP's patient list (one of the be all and end all of proof for the DWP) by interacting online with GP I'm not resident in Thailand and never would do (happy 6 months a year fine by me) but I havent seen my own GP here in UK for 11 years even though I've had hospital treatment for some fairly serious stuff.....I interact "deliberately" with them once a year basically to ensure I remain on the patient lists in the first place (no agenda simply dont want to be removed by inaction).......point being you can do that from anywhere in the world Moving on as I mentioned it few weeks ago expats use "boatmail" or similar services for physical letter communications To me burning our bridges is just insane... -
British press support UK pensioners losing out in Thailand
Chivas replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Incorrect Who choose to drop anchor in another country ?? You or the Treasury ?? Or are you claiming you didn't know in the first place ?? Nothing to do with moving the goalposts......vast majority in my opinion didn't actually sadly realise is the actual correct answer -

Yet again myself (and many others here) would offer that same message.....why on earth completely burn your bridges with the UK -
Withdrawls from Thai banks

Depends how much you're talking about because the obvious way which doubtless others are currently thinking is give him/her your Debit card Frankly it goes on worldwide on a daily basis -
Truemove H Pre Paid Data Codes, anyone have a good plan?
Chivas replied to bmanly's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Virtually none of the codes or more importantly the price within the thread match the official site I acknowledge codes from the past will (likely) work Out of interest the one I used for years pre covid has gone from 200 a month to 350 plus vat obviously https://www.true.th/truemoveh/site/upgrade_option/prepaid?shelf=data_prepaid -

Nice one Cyril..... (yes I know lol) Seriously thats what I wanted to see on the thread...thanks -
I just did a 6 month premium check to cover the Covid Insurance needed by the Thai pass.....Its actually at the higher level still of $20,000 rather than 10k so premium may come down as well Now need to be clear this is Covid coverage only so nothing else....purely Covid only 6 months was 2,750 Baht so around £63 give or take At £10 a month (scam or not) its hardly a deal breaker ??
-
Serious question no agenda because since Covid reared its head I have not come to Thailand Whether its $50k $20k or now the further reduced $10k are you/we obliged to use the insurance companies that were shown under the Thai pass website ?? Just doing few weeks ago a sample premium and the recommended Thai pass insurers premium was 6.2 times higher than if I had used my normal insurer out of the UK and it should be added that this had 100 + multiples of coverage compared to the Thai one ??
