What really matters is what your Bht 10,000 ended up after all charges.

WISE would have charged Bht 31.70 to send to Bkk Bank, with no charges at this end.

Yip a agree, I been using wish for over 5 years. Just wanted to give Revolut a trial run as a backup , plan B just incase WISH goes belly up

Try it with Bht 1000.

Wise only shows as International if you select Long Stay or Buying Property. 

I did a 10,000฿ transfer with Revolut, money landed into my Bangkok bank account within 24 hours showing International transfer.

But the downside is that Bangkok Bank changed me 200฿ fee.

Money transfer in UK pound into my Bangkok bank using the Revolut app.

Once the transfer lands into my Bangkok bank account what banking code will show on my bank book, statement ?.

Will the transfer state's international fund transfer ?

Met a really nice Thai guy who does Project Management for home builds.  

If anyone is looking for help with their build maybe contact him

His website is https://website4290639.nicepage.io/Benfit-Management.html  

 

I'm in the process of designing a small single storey 2 bedroom house in the northern town of Pai.

I will ask the wife to give the guy a call, I'm looking for someone to project manager the build.

How did the bank find out you are a non-resident ?. Didn't you keep or have a UK address ?.

Which of the three points quoted are you arguing against and what makes you think that way?

I'm comment ment on bar girl market scene.

Pattaya you can easily get a LT for 1k,

In UD bar girl looking for 1500฿ plus that's my take on the subject.

Enough bars to chill (girls are the same as in Pattaya, prices are much lower though)....... Don't know about that 

Take the sleeper train

 (My pockets are already full with wallet, phone, and glasses.) But no problem, perhaps I will limit my visits there. All the bars are full after all... (Sarcasm!), 

A man bag is the answer 

I had a new battery supplied and fitted, cost was 2500฿.  The new battery was original HP and not a copy 

I noticed that also, sometimes this site is a nightmare to navigate with all the pop-ups. 

I know that the this site needs to make some revenue to keep afloat 

Anyone had any issues with the Halifax PLC Bank in the UK.

I have a current account and ISA with the Halifax, I use UK postbox forwarding online company to manage my mail.

What country is your license from 

Thailand

This is very interesting information.

I always heard/read that you could only get an International Drivers Permit in your home-country. 

But if Thailand is your official country of residence, I guess that it is possible to apply for an IDP here (and surely if you have acquired Thai citizenship). 

= = =

Normally the reason that you would want to apply for an IDP (using your home-country's drivers permit) is that in Thailand, when applying for a Thai Drivers Permit that you need either an IDP or a drivers permit in english language.  Hence being from a non-english speaking country you would need such an IDP in order to apply for the Thai drivers permit.  And if you do not have that, there is also the option of going through the 2 full-day training and pass the exam to get hold of such Thai drivers permit.

I have a full Thai driving license have done for over 10 years, I'm heading to Cambodia, Vietnam so I need a Thai international driving license. Better to be safe then sorry

About a year ago I obtained an IDP there. 

 

In addition to taking a copy of my blue tabien baan, they also required a copy of my pink card. Seems they wanted two forms of proof of address.

Great thanks, copy of yellow house book plus my pink Thai ID card.

Looking for some feedback...

Heading to Bangkok Transportation Office Area 3 at Sukhumvit Road, Bang Chak BTS. 

In apply for my international driving license.

Anyone know if Bang Chak expect my yellow address book as proof of my address ?.

I read Chatuchak office will only expect immigration residence certificate, or a work permit.
