Christ that makes it even cheaper I assume ( the mother of all f*** ups) that cover is open to all foreign nationals ??

Yes AUD or USD ??

Just done a quote for 6 months my intended next trip It was priced in USD but works out at just £296 Thats aged 64 As you say on the budget cover it chops out a lot of the stuff we "normally" never need (I havent in 32 years) but has unlimited medical expenses the all important element That premiun is virtually half of what I've been quoted to date Good work Dolf (Edited is that AUD Dolf or USD ?? I ask because right at bottom there is a reference to Australia)

Yes back around late 90's early 2000's was company that did Medical cover only (from UK) and absolutely nothing else was included Unforunately they stopped trading Been looking for similar ever since

SCB app works fine on Wifi in UK

Magnificent Transam magnificent....... Any news on uncovering the mobile roasters 245th username on Asean/Thaivisa....? Couple of culprits standing out but until the bandit has an uber wobble meltdown

If it goes via Swift it lands at Telegraphic Transfer rate plus 500 Baht landing fee (for that size of transfer) TT rate will be somewhat less than Wise's full interbank rate but then you have sending fees and has been mentioned will Wise provide the appropriate documentation for the Condo Rare occasion where I'd suggest Swift would be better than Wise

Just use Travel Supermarket and it will list the inclusive baggage for all individual carriers if you click through Why people go direct to airlines I will never know. Invariably apart from anything else more expensive. When something goes wrong you have only a one pronged attack (yourself) whereas with agent you then have two pronged attack to sort it Somehow this internet myth this last 25 years of always book direct with the airline for best service has somehow now become an internet fact instead Utter bolla***

Yep agreed Here in the UK "walking around money" is literally only at £1000 limit before Police or Border agency can "ask questions" as to origin (I assure you it is and all forms part of 2002 proceeds of crime act) It would be sensible to assume Thailand has laws about walking around with £22,000 in your sky rocket likewise lol (Edited...probably not lol)

What this thread highlights and have mentioned it a few times this century is that if you do already have a Thai account dont let it lapse through lack of use or low balance because its not easy to open a new one without agent input and costs

Why would the visa be denied if all is in order ?

Yep same as those 2 New Zealand morons already persona non grata for life no matter what the outcome of their court case As with this idiot lock him up and deport for life upon release....he'll soon be utilising his excess energy on the Ukrainian front

You can bet your Bottom Dollar that before 2024 is out there will have been a complete reversal and all will be forgotten as in a bad dream

It is pandering to the snowflakes and increasing costs ! I rarely if ever drink alcohol on flights. Have just done 16 hours in the air without one. If it shaved £'s off the economy fares than bring it on

At current rates and fares I'd say its around 100.000 Baht extra to fly Biz over Economy London Bangkok return In the interim you enjoy landing 20 metres in front of me and I'll happily wait 30 minutes in the normal queue with my 100k 😁

Jesus wept goddam coffee has just gone spraying all over the laptop lol

You're about 3 days too late since I subsequently responded to that Try and keep up

Stop you at Boarding gate for what exactly lol....its a final boarding card check ? I'm not exactly sure how many times I've flown London Bangkok but around 170 times ish and I've never had anyone on final gate looking for Visas in passport, proof of onward ticket or more recently Evisas

Yes very hit and miss I came in on Etihad and Singapore one way in last 6 months and absolutely no interest was taken (or requested) of my Evisa on both occasions As far as ground handling were concerned they were simply not interested. In Singapore's case there was "no one" to take any interest in the first place as all self automated check in ! Quite bizarre I agree

Yet you were incapable of answering the very basic question What is Prep on a wet Thirsday in the UK.....??

What the hell is a Prep Nope I havent googled it lol One of them turbo sex toy squirmy rabbits from Beach Rd ?

Bricktop....."Feed em to the pigs Errol"

Is that the "full" story in the OP ??

Just had a quick look at Trivago encompassing hotels where I know the prices looked at Songkran dates and nightly rates are virtually identical as last month and earlier March Where do they drag these reports up from !

Clearly that went right over your head and is currently floating somewhere around Koh Larn..........
