  1. I find it comedy gold how many seem to get bent out of shape over Transferwise I (and several others) have told you how to do it. How to transfer money to TW itself etc etc and which method is the quickest You can lead a horse to water. Now we have posters claiming delays are endured because of the "reason for transfer" Chaps thats entirely for TW historical records should there ever be an investigation into money laundering on your account Its makes no difference if you say its for Noi in Nongbulamphu or immediate action funds for Soi 6
  2. Yep great post Destiny and perfectly accurate.... The longer this goes on the less and less people will be interested in returning. Contrary to what a few thousand in Pattaya think there's not going to be a flicking of a switch and things returning to "normal" Its going to take a long time years and years...
  3. Completely wasting their time Until you can arrive with just a double vaccination certificate and insurance then 99% will not be coming.....
  4. Fella having been in finance for over 36 years I know that, you know that but for whatever reason Wise "appears" to have delays when submitted by that format on many occasions Just use a bank transfer. Path of least resistance.
  5. Yep I was only highlighting that on another thread yesterday.....its very marginally as to make no difference
  6. I have simply no idea what some are you are doing to make it so slow Complete the online form Send them your transfer from your bank (dont use debit cards) using a saved payee Go back to online form and click I've sent the money Log in to Thai bank (SCB for me) and its already there From originally opening Wise website to initiate a transfer to it landing is 3 minutes tops.....(the actually transfer itself 10 seconds)
  7. Frankly they should remove the maximum overstay fine Charge it per day indefinately until its paid or take a 3 year jail sentence in Thailand if its not cleared after 30 days in immigration detention Soon stop that nonsense dead in its tracks in the first place with a few posts on social media
  8. Fella at the risk of blowing a fuse. Start with £1000 at £5.91 and then add £20 on top.......What does the fee come to now ?? It rises by 10p to £6.01. Not 83p on top You cant expect Wise to send £20 for 10p can you ! Wise was never ever intended for sending half an hours beer money
  9. Bottom line ignoring Visas per se is that no one is getting past immigration without double vaccination and certificate to prove You either conform or you aint coming into or remaining in Thailand....period
  10. I never would personally as enjoy Spring/Summer in the UK As regards staying the other 6 months a year in Thailand I'm free to do it now if I wanted to. The advent of the internet changed everything for investors London or Pattaya makes no difference I think what helps some people to make the leap more easily is if they are "used" to spending fairly frugally back home not because they're being tight but for example in my case I cant remember the last time I went to a pub or restaurant in the UK (funeral lol) out of choice If you replicate that in Thailand than your costs are very very low frankly
  11. It will be on the UK's red list indefinatly partly because I have little doubt the UK have no confidence whatsoever in the "declared" infection numbers I reckon this time next year before Brits get a chance to go again even then doubtless with restrictions Until I can turn up at Suvarnabhumbi with just a Covid Certificate, Passport and a smile then I'm out.....
  12. The only thing Prince Andrew is guilty of is being stupidly in the vicinity of Epsteins entourage, Yes he was an utter berk to be so, but thats as far as it goes If all the snowflakes (across all media) would just engage 1st gear and think for themselves for once they'd realise firstly this guy is a Prince in the biggest Royal Family in the world and as such no matter what his age (then or now) 1000's of females would happily throw themselves at his feet So why on earth would he feel he "needed" to get involved in Trafficked girls !! Not surprisingly should this absolute farce go any further this will be the first line of defence for Andrews briefs. He's guilty of being a total berk in being near Epstein but thats as far as it goes....period
  13. Lets hope the insurance compensation is suitably sized......... No I'm actually being serious.
  14. Fella dont let your complete lack of financial knowledge become others issue In short dont let your problem become our problem....out
  15. Absolute utter nonsense and yet again I suggest Thaivisa employs a financial professional to moderate this sub forum I have a job to not react every single day here (and I could) on different threads. Its catastrophic the advice time after time
  16. Mouthful of Goddam Coffee has just sprayed everywhere ????
  17. Baht starting to weaken out again after previously gaining strength against the USD Straight out to 32.90 and a sharp weakening today
  18. You should be able to do the 50,000 Euro in one hit as maximum landing via Transferwise is 2 Million Baht
  19. 600 Million relates to around £13.3 Million..... Plenty there for some superb bungs one would imagine ???? Can see him in St Tropez viewing the goodies in very short order.....
  20. Some of the information yet again relating to finance is utterly catastrophic on Thaivisa. Its bad enough on exchange rate threads but here yet again just as shocking Thaivisa literally need a proper moderator with long standing financial experience to mod accurately this sub forum as finance effects us all without exception and the advice is sadly frequently shocking
  21. In 1993 I was in Thailand and had met up with Serving British Police officer (at the time) who was part of "traffic" for 4 days who was on holiday with wife who I had known since I was 17 He simply could not believe the driving and was apoplectic with rage. Vividly remember on the highway between Bangkok and Pattaya and his absolute fury at the full on undertaking. He was utterly speechless He never came to Thailand again.
  22. The amount of absolute nonsense written by 80% is mind boggling including the actual OP itself How many times lol does it take for people to grasp that there are two currency pairings in every transaction bar the Dollar/Baht Benchmark How are people actually allowed to apply for passports lol
  23. Seriously why are they even bothering with this nonsense over Phuket They need to grasp in very short order that no foreign tourists will come whilst extensive restrictions are in place Ignore that everything is virtually shut anyway Thailand needs to fully understand that 99% of tourists are not coming until they can arrive at Suvarnabhumbi with just a Covid Certificate, Passport and a smile Until that happens Thailands tourist industry doesn't exist
