Just contact Transferwise, they might just require evidence of business (copy invoices etc)

The no deal Brexit has already been factored into the GBP so it likely wont change much unless there really was a no deal on 1st November.

If there is a deal at the last moment though watch the GBP rise quickly to 42/43 THB = 1 GBP

I expect topics of conversations among old expats something along these lines:

• I need to buy good quality set of open-end wrenches -- NOT made in China? 
• My car has been in the shop for 3 weeks already.  How can I get them to speed up the repair?
• I keep getting headaches from street food.  In Thai, how do you say, "Don't put any MSG in my food." ?
• Is it worthwhile ordering on Lazada -- or just too much trouble?
• What's happening at your condo with any Air BnB checkins?
• What's been your experience with Grab?  Do you find private cars better than taxis, or the other way around?
• After all these years, my Thai language is still pretty thin.  Should I take some classes?
• Restaurants with good "home style" meals are getting harder to find.  Any recommendations?
• Have you tried the grocery delivery services from Villa, TOPS, Lotus, and others?

And, finally, on a really positive note, I will reveal my secret source of top quality hamburger in Bangkok.  (Note: It's not cheap, and I will only reveal it in person, not on any public forums.  In fact, thinking about it now, that would be a good location for a lunch meeting!)

Im not old so I probably don't pass your meet up entry requirements although I will try to help  by responding here..

(sorry couldn't resist) 

• I need to buy good quality set of open-end wrenches -- NOT made in China? 

> Wrenches or wenches? Regardless the better ones are surely made in Thailand?

• My car has been in the shop for 3 weeks already.  How can I get them to speed up the repair?

> Instead of parking in the car park and walking away, also tell the mechanics you want the car repairing.

• I keep getting headaches from street food.  In Thai, how do you say, "Don't put any MSG in my food." ?

> Mai tong sai guer krap, pom pen oan man moo leaw ????

• Is it worthwhile ordering on Lazada -- or just too much trouble?

> it depends if you are too old to know how to operate a computer or not?

• What's happening at your condo with any Air BnB checkins?

> Im considering starting an AirB&B business, its all the rage you know and VERY profitable too!

• What's been your experience with Grab?  Do you find private cars better than taxis, or the other way around?

> I always grab my own private vehicle and cruise around town in my own private vehicle.

• After all these years, my Thai language is still pretty thin.  Should I take some classes?

> No. If you havn't learned anything after all these years dont waste time now, just accept you might be a slow learner, you'll get by in any case. ????

• Restaurants with good "home style" meals are getting harder to find.  Any recommendations?

> Yes my Thai wife makes a really nice home style Thai meal. She's Thai you know, Thailand is our home.

• Have you tried the grocery delivery services from Villa, TOPS, Lotus, and others?

> No. I could never be that lazy.

I know a guy who has HIV.  Fortunately for him medication has stopped the disease from becoming full-blown AIDS.

 

That the fact that science has developed these drugs gives a lot of hope to people who are infected.

Because the virus can be controlled using modern treatments and not passed on once on treatment, part of the problem now is the outdated stigma that is associated with the virus because of untrue things like posting silly unrelated images in the Nation article of a guy with a spotty back or using made up terms like 'full blow Aids'  where maybe 'Aids' or the modern term 'advanced HIV' would suffice.

These are just examples of unnecessary, misleading an sometimes false terms and images..

Is this term you use 'full blown' like 'full blown diabetes' is to diabetes?

Or maybe similar to 'full blown heart disease' is to heart disease?

Or 'full blown influenza' is to 'influenza'

Or how about 'full blow silliness' for using these terms and unrelated images.

Try and not to get too exited about hiv articles as to use these made up terms then you wont become part of the problem.

Bring all you're Pound open an account and November 2020 you will be up 30%

Why whats happening 15 months from now?

Brexit decision deadline is October 2019

If its some attempt at a joke I don't get it? ????

See this thread and offer to transfer shares to your name:

100k is 400% more than it should be.

I paid 25k and that includes final accounts and final audit. The accountant is a Thai accountant who doesn't necessarily advertise specifically to foreigners.

PS  - See this thread..

Its a gamble because of Brexit - if there is a deal the GBP will jump up a few points immediately.

If there is no deal it might drop a few more points.

if there is a delay it will probably stay around the same.

In either case you'll get the best rates for cash in Thailand at the 'SuperRich' money exchange places. (it has to be a super rich though not any old exchange counter)

Please let us all know what you think of the prices in Thailand these days compared to the UK after your holiday.

I received the password for the Section 38 online app 'yey' 

The  problem with the online app is that there are no notifications to let the user know what is going on throughout the process.  

1. First I downloaded the app and applied and submitted the forms.
2. Then I got an email to say I need to confirm email address. After confirming email address I had to wait about 10 days to get another email saying my account is approved now I need to wait for username and password.
3. About 3 weeks later I received the username and password.
4. During all this time there is no 'notification' or message to correctly display the steps and the process and the potential delays so its easy to see why so many people think this doesn't work.

I deleted the app several times  during this waiting time thinking it didn't work, until I got these intermittent messages and downloaded it again.

Also the emails can go to your spam folder too so that also may confuse some people.

Before these current symptoms I was attempting to loose weight and exerciser, but some how now I have found out that suffering from Sleep Apnea can have serious side effects and could be life threatening , at 70 years old my enthusiasm for loosing weight and exercising has suddenly hit rock bottom. ☹️

My dad had sleep apnea for decades. It didnt cause any issues other than maybe the occasional startled wake up in the night although he did have heart conditions. There are things that you can do to manage sleep apnea though and its only a risk factor. 

You can not suffocate since your body will wake you up.

I suggest not Googling anything to do with medical conditions because Dr Google will have you thinking all sorts of untrue things with your anxiety on level 10.

Instead follow your doctors advice and try to relax. Stress is another risk facor that is likely worse than sleep apnea in my personal opinion.

Millions and millions of people have sleep apnea, its only one risk factor for general health. If you lead a healthy lifestyle you can offset certain risk factors. 

best of luck with it Tom.

PS  -by the way if motivation is lacking try a steady brisk 20 minute daily walk for a bit of excersize maybe?

Robin found out his wife is not his friend (3 times).

Sadly as it is robin chose the wrong women..

..although to be fair to robin it’s probably a lot more difficult when your as rich and famous as he was.

I was reading your previous thread about angina symptoms, its good to see the diagnosis is nothing as serious Tom, best of luck with everything.

I've been in and around Hua Hin for nearly a decade now,

You obviously don't read ThaiVisa all that often?

There have been more threads than I can count along this same theme for the past 6-12 months.

The bus needed to use the left hand lane but should have been extra cautious in doing so, he should not have started the U turn maneuver until it was completely safe to do so and maybe ever better to chose another place to turn.

However at the same time the white pick up may have been speeding or not.

The road is also badly designed with that U turn on a fast moving carriageway.

Who is to blame, most likely everyone!

Any ideas? 

I signed up to the TM30 mobile app and I completed the application by uploading photos of documents and within about 1 week after that I received an email message in my spam mail folder to say my account was confirmed but I must now wait for a username and password to be sent to me. I had actually deleted the app thinking it wasn't working but I thought oh great it is working and so I need to download the app again.

A little clunky and late but so far, so good..

..that was 2 weeks ago though and I'm due to exit Thailand very soon.

When do I get the username and password?
