Anybody sent funds from their Bangkok Bank App back to UK bank account recently? Is it reliable ? Is there a limit on sending ? Does it require phone confirmation ? As I’m in the UK at the moment and thinking of sending 400,000 back to my UK account advice would be helpful Thanks

Will be crossing into Cambodia next week at the Chong Chom border crossing does anybody have any suggestions on the quickest safest route to Siem Reap by Taxi / bus and the expected cost? Many thanks

The Branch rang back and online banking transfers are still allowed up to 1.5million for Non Thai Nationals but branch transfers have been stopped.

Walk into a Bangkok Bank today and try to send money out of Thailand from Your Bangkok bank of you have one. Not allowed by foreign nationals. Had my payment refused yesterday Head office rang my wife this morning to confirm it’s no longer allowed.

Had it confirmed today, Bangkok bank have officially stopped all foreign transfers out of Thailand. Foreign nationals holding Bangkok Bank accounts wishing to send money out of Thailand are no longer permitted to do so. ????

Many thanks for the links ????

Any internet links for quick and easy Covid 19 Insurance cover for 80yr old Mum Thanks Jason

Thanks Joe,

I am currently under consideration 30days for yearly marriage extension due to report back on 29th December. Given the current situation in the UK and the likely hood of UK quarantine on the cards, I am considering going back to the UK before the 30days and ditching the extension. Am I legally allowed to leave considering my actual extension expired on the 29th November, Worried immigration at suvarnabhum might hit me with an overstay or invent some new ruling. Advice needed Thanks

Thank you to all who responded. Eventually I managed to speak with a customer rep from KLM yesterday before we left for the airport. I explained that the online check in facility that KLM offers where the Covid 19 vaccine certificate needs to be uploaded had been rejected for not being in English. She kindly assured me that the white certificate that the Thai Government issues which has both Thai & English would be sufficient for check in, even though it was rejected online. We arrived at the airport and the certificate was indeed acceptable. He is now in London. So for future reference anybody flying back to the UK with KLM does not require a Yellow Vaccine / certificate passport for proof of vaccination status, the simple white paper certificate will be acceptable as proof. Though I would urge anybody travelling to reconfirm this with KLM before travelling. Thanks to all once again ????

See response below, absolutely no idea what to do now ?

My son is travelling back to the UK later today with KLM. I have just tried to upload his vaccination certificate to prove his vaccination status but it has been rejected because it says it is not in the correct language. The UK gov website states that the Certificate must be in English French or Spanish and at the Very least contain the following fornename/surname d.o.b vaccine brand & manufacturer date of vaccine country or territory of certificate issuer. All of the above are clearly written in Thai & English Will he still be able to check in with this certificate at the Airport ? Many Thanks *personal information edited out*

Thanks all for advice ????

My Stepson, who carries a UK passport will be travelling to the UK in 3 weeks he has had two vaccines here in Thailand of Sinovac & Astra Zeneca. Obviously his Vaccine certifications are both In Thai. Where and how would he get an English version as gov.uk says the Name d.o.b vaccine, issuing country must be in English. I’m assuming going to a local doctor translating the certificate and signing it would not be acceptable. Does anybody have any idea where we can pay way over the odds for such a document ????

Broccoli & Cauliflower is trending at 200baht a kilo very worrying times when pork becomes cheaper to eat than Vegetables, and there lies the problem with obesity !

Shock horror, Broccoli now hits 200 baht a kilo. Sod Bitcoin ! ????

Absolutely shocked at the rising prices of Broccoli & Cauliflower. Seems something is a miss when it’s cheaper to eat Pork than Broccoli & Cauliflower exactly double the price of the UK at the moment. It’s no surprise to see lifestyle diseases creeping up when it’s cheaper to eat the processed meats on the side of the road. Food for thought !! ????

Unfortunately it’s the saturated fat from animal sources, primarily the processed pork deep fried in “all oils” that is the main cause of atherosclerosis which leads to heart disease. Sugar alone is not the Villain. Although consumed alongside saturated fat you have a deadly cocktail. WFPBD has been proven time & time again to show its the healthiest way to live.

Does not apply to international travel. COE and quarantine ASQ expected to remain in place until 2022. IMO

Another baseless story from webfact. more probable is that Thailand is to remain on red list until traffic light system is shelved according to UK news sources. ????

Can anybody offer advice on where we can obtain a guaranteed PCR someday result in Bangkok area for this Saturday as flying Sunday 01:00am Regards
