I would be tempted to have it paid into your UK bank then transfer through Wise as and when. By this method you can try to get the best exchange rate. This is what I do with my pensions.

I definitely did have diverticulitis and the second operation actually saved my life!! I have pictures from the first operation showing the healthy appendix and showing the affected part of the colon which had to be cut out. In effect it was actually 2 life saving ops due to the condition of the colon and there was no way medicines would have cleared it up. And yes, it was my current account and debit card that had the benefits but I do not remember paying a monthly fee. Funnily enough I had forgotten this and had also taken out other travel insurance!! Doh!

I think I have related this story before but here goes. Back in 2014 I came here on a holiday and met up with my girlfriend, now wife, and flew up to Chiang Mai from Bangkok. Whilst there I fell seriously ill and popped into the local hospital. Long story short, transferred to Larna Hospital where I went under the knife for possible appendicitis. Surgeon removed healthy appendix and therefore suspected diverticulitis. It was so long op to remove part of the colon and after a few days left to continue the holiday. No, back in on blues and twos 2 nights later and another major op as I had a sepsis leak. Came out of the op with a colostomy bag!! This was a temporary fix for 9 months to allow my colon to heal naturally. Anyway had to cancel flights due to time in hospital and had to rebook to Bangkok then myself back to UK. The total bill came to just over £ 7000 which included new flights for the two of us and bank charges as I was paying upfront off my UK debit card. Thai hospitals are fantastic for itemised bills so sent everything off to the insurance company. This company was linked to my Lloyds Bank card which I had originally used to book the holiday therefore automatic cover. Paid out within 2 weeks!!

See the abacus and crystal ball are at work again with numbers plucked from ?????????

Can someone please enlighten me as to how they arrive at this figure?? Seems to me they must have some special abacus as these figures are always rolled out against the number of arrivals anywhere whether by land, sea or air.

Knowing Thailand, I think that is wishful thinking and they will be in another post somewhere to carry on their corrupt practices.

So, can we assume that these senior police officers have been turning a blind eye as to what was going on?? And receiving the famous brown envelopes to do so?? Then we will just transfer them!! It beggars belief that corrupt officers can just be moved to another post and then do the same again!! They should be sacked......end of!!

Blah blah blah!! Yet another meeting to discuss ?????????????? and nothing will ever change. But it looks good to say they are having a meeting........................................not!!

4.5 hours driving then a 45 minute break is the maximum. This can be split into 15 mins and 30 mins segment if required before the max time in that order only. Rule of thumb is no more than 15 hours of work 3 times a week but the max drive time is 9 hours and 10 hours twice a week.

You are right about the size of the airport terminal being huge. It is luck of the draw with gates I reckon. The worst I have had involved having to catch the shuttle train betwen gates even though in the same terminal and that was going to LHR!! But I can put up with it for the better flights and on board service.

You will not regret that. I am now totally Emirates as they knock spots of Thai. I use them for BKK to LHR and time wise, depending how quick you need to be there, it can be done in 14 hours against 11.5 direct. As I fly Business Class, I make the most of the lounges and chauffeur drive!! Wonderful.

How many times have they come out with this? These supposed improvements in service is the same old same old we keep hearing about but as usual, nothing changes. TIT.

What a total waste of money. How about spending this on a proper police force with patrol cars that can go out to catch offenders on the road!! Ahhhhh, I forgot that the RTP driving skills leave a lot to be desired.

He stressed that police were entitled to wear their uniform off duty??????? Why???Entitled????

“Higher authority”......I do not think so. Try inexperience and by looks of it, lack of counterbalance weights!!

I have looked it up and it states this, Take your email marketing and email delivery to the next level. Grow your business with our powerful multi-product platform. (https://elasticemail.com/) It appears to be well known etc but for some reason Threat Protection on Nord VPN goes into conflict with it.

I have just read this thread and seen the cure. Turn off Threat Protection on Nord VPN. Makes me wonder how safe this site is now since they have gone to elasticemail. Having had a quick look on the elasticemail website, it does actually look okay so it is strange that Nord VPN does not like it.

I read this and then turned off Threat Protection on Nord VPN and I could then open the news items. The problem only arose after the maintenance done over the New Year by Asean Now!! Something to do with elasticemail is causing the conflict so the question is, how safe is elasticemail??

Tried that with Chrome, Edge and even Gmail but no difference. Maybe the trouble lies with Outlook but Gmail disproved that. Very strange.

I use either Chrome or Edge and an ethernet connection. All worked fine before the maintenance. Open the email from Asean Now and then click on a topic. Another page opens but is blank with Untitled on the tab. No problems with my Iphone or Fire tablet so I am wondering what has happened to cause this on the laptop.

Maybe it is me or the laptop I use but since the latest updates and maintenance done by Asean Now, I am unable to open any of the topics within their email. Very strange as it all worked properly before the new year and now all I get is a blank page marked Untitled! Have tried a different browser and turning off my VPN but to no avail. Any ideas?

Yes, I am not disputing this but when the IO was looking for the TM6, I showed the boarding pass to which he then nodded his head and found the relevant entry stamp. So it is not useless added material as you put it, just a case of making life simpler. It seems you have a slight problem with this though!!

It may not be required but it does make life easier. Absolutely no problem to photocopy it at home and put in with the other documents. I showed the boarding pass for my first 90 day report to clarify why I did not have one. It is all about making life easier all round even if things are not legally required, as such.

Can get them all at Makro. Have them in my cupboards now.

When I went to renew my extension of stay in November, I photocopied my return boarding pass in place of the TM6. Then there is no argument. Belts and braces.
