  1. It may be interesting stuff to you, but not for others....like me! Thanks.
  2. Is Asean Now, or a Thai insurance company, or almost ANY internet page any different in Oz than here?
  3. But does more than my Nationwide can do, and cheaper. A SWIFT from them to Bkk Bank costs £20 and takes 4/5 days. WISE is about £7 and instant if you need it to be.
  4. Use an insurance company who have the facility called EMAIL!
  5. I have been led to believe that WISE is not classed as a 'normal' bank. No money actually crosses any financial borders when you do a transfer. GBPs stay in UK, THB are already in Thailand. That's why , if you put for Long Stay, it takes a further day to process because A HUMAN is involved.
  6. I sent one last week, 15 days early, and got receipt email. Next day a rejection email. I then noticed that I had put my own telephone number in the space for my GFs number. Changed it, sent it again. Accepted and issued within 3 hours.
  7. Clear the roads, get all the Kuwaitis at the top of the hill. Ready, steady, GO. and see how many survive.......to then be deported. Sorted. 555
  8. But the girl is 27 years old, born in 1996! Was she standing next to you watching 'Daddy' play? 555
  9. But of course, no annual increase for us criminals!
  10. Some guys on the Wise thread say they are sending Bht 65k per month with no problems. Roger, Demi or Bobby?
  11. If your State Pension UK is paid into Wise, what has the exchange rate got to do with it. Once in your GBP Wise account, YOU are the one to decide at which rate it is exchanged.
  12. I think the regs may have changed since 2015.
  13. DNA test? She's 27, Gerrard is 42. So did he father her when he was 16?
  14. It has not changed for me. I did ask Wise to tag my Bkk Bank account several years ago, and all have been direct to Bkk as FTT, except for May this year when I transferred over a bank holiday weekend, so it went to Kasikorn.
  15. If they are being used as your monthly Foreign transfer, does your IO accept them as such? If they are not needed as that, it doesn't matter how they are designated.
  16. Let the locals use their shortcuts to where they want to go, even if it is to see the Man upstairs. What is the Darwin Theory? Shouldn't the headline say that the illegal crossings are to be CLOSED/BLOCKED OFF?
  17. In my years of experience with Wise, if LONG STAY is not clicked, the transfer will be immediate and NOT an FTT. I have proved this by doing separate transfers when money was needed immediately. Has your scenario been proved?
  18. My Bkk Bank is tagged by Wise, but if I do not click Long Term Stay, the transfer is immediate, but not as an FTT. If it IS clicked, the money arrives at 2pm that same day if initiated very early, before 6am, or 2pm the next day.
  19. All the codes are explained on the inside back cover on a Bkk Bank Book. Have a look on your K'korn book.
  20. Yes, you can get Wise to TAG your account. I discovered that it was a bank holiday weekend, and Wise will then use the quickest way to get your money to you, ie via Kasikorn. A small PITA but not insurmountable. Another solution would be to open a Kasikorn account. But then WHY? Bkk Bank always worked for me, except that once. If it happens again, I now know the exact procedure at K'korn.
  21. Some IOs, mine being one, will accept a Combination Method, in my case Bht 400k in the bank and Bht 40k per month FTT = total Bht 880k per year. I never asked if the 400k can be down to 200k for the middle 7 months of the year, not be too cheeky eh? Next year, it will be Bht 35k per month = Bht 420k plus my 400k.
  22. I do a monthly transfer via Wise to my Bkk Bank, have done for three years with no problem, always FTT in my book, until May this year when for some reason, Wise sent it to Kasikorn, who then forwarded it to Bkk, but as a local transfer. Bkk Bank could/would not have any paperwork showing Wise, so had to get a Credit Advice from Kasikorn showing the path the money had taken. Took a week and Bht 200 to get it.
  23. Totally agree. Those MCcKings are bad enough when you eat in. After 20 minutes in an enclosed box.......yuk! But you are just as susceptible to diabetes whether you eat in or have it delivered.
  24. Maybe it is YOUR plumbing which needs cleaning out.
