The right wing media are saying brexit was a good idea, how long will they take to start saying it was a huge mistake ?

I travelled from the U.K.-Amsterdam-BKK a couple of weeks ago, no insurance required.

Hav they thought about searching the sunken vessel for bodies, I am sure some could be inside it ?

What zone is Pattaya in, 12pm or 2am ?

Are they going to do the same at Songkran, Thai New Year ?

I have used taxis from Pattaya to the airport for nearly 10 years, 1000/1100 baht including tolls.

No big deal, we are always waiting outside for them so we just wave to them.

Lazada never have a problem delivering goods, straight to the house, I put my full address house number etc in for Bolt but they stop 30 metres down the road

must of missed that article ?

When Bolt pick me up their map directs them 60/70 metres away from my house, I have to stand outside and direct them to my house.

Bolt is cash only in Pattaya, currently Bolt are not taking commission.

I have had problems with Bolt, you order then they cancel possibly because they a closer pick up, they don’t like the airport not unless they have a return trip, think it’s around 1500 baht, you can get a taxi from Pattaya for just over a 1000 baht.

Transmitting through Schipol a couple of weeks ago they checked your temperature prior to boarding then you had to complete and sign a declaration form to say you hadn’t had Covid in the last 2 weeks or been in contact with anyone who had, no idea what the consequences would have been if you said yes, maybe a Covid test.

Sadly passed away during the week, he had been suffering from a long term illness.

I have seen fresh sprouts and frozen ones in Big C, never checked the price, sprouts are only decent once they have had a touch of frost, I doubt neither had. BIg C had frozen cooked turkeys around 2500 baht. I was in the U.K. in November, the cost of living has gone through the roof,

I don’t eat fried rice, I do a lot of home cooking here so I am well aware what it costs to prepare and cook a meal and it’s nowhere the prices some restaurants are charging (U.K. prices) for basically a Sunday Lunch with a few paper hats and crackers.

????????????????

Enhance what restaurant, I have lived in Pattaya for 10 years and been to many of the restaurants, I can’t see how they can justify or the reason for charging premium rates on Christmas Day when no extra cost is involved, think it’s called profiteering.

Thinking back I probably contributed, I used to pay 3000 baht a year, my girl said it was for her Mothers endorsement.

I think I got it from Wise online site,

Only saying, I didn’t ask because it’s a Thai thing, my girl keeps a lot of things to herself, if she doesn’t tell me I don’t ask, btw I posted the original topic. I am not sure where all the funds come from for the funeral, my girl was given 5000 baht which she intends to buy some gold which I will contribute towards in memory of her Mother.

Wise U.K. contact number, +44 203 974 1320, they only open 8 till 4 Monday to Friday,

I have transferred money before on holidays and W.Es and it more or less went instantaneously.

I have never had a problem with Wise until recently, transfer are sometimes taking nearly 2 days some times, I emailed them but they come back with the standard answer, we have converted your transfer to baht but the delay is with the Thai bank system. They also said transfers can be delayed over a W.E and Bank Holidays, no I have transferred money during these periods and it was more or less instantaneous. Recent transfers took nearly 2 days yet I transferred money last night out with banking hours and it was instantaneous. Are Wise holding peoples funds in a high interest bearing accounts, I imagine there will be a large sum of money which would attract interest. Wise is now a public company, have they now changed anything because prior to going public everything was straightforward, I will give them some credit as they answered my emails almost immediately.
