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

Now officially on Thai Airways Website 

I have an X box s one that keeps powering off after about 5 mins.

I have replaced the fan, the power source and even renewed the thermal paste. 
still powers off. I guessing the issue maybe the motherboard. Can anybody guide me towards somebody in either Bangkok or Korat who specializes in fixing Xbox consoles.

Many Thanks

"replica type watches" ... that in itself sets  you up for disappointment.

 

Just buy the cheapest one that looks good.  Anyone dumb enough to think you are wearing a real Rolex, won't even notice it's not working  ????

Thanks for the reply ????????

Hi

Many Thanks

Was this told to you by an employee of Bangkok Bank or is this a new policy which can be verified with some official documents / on their website etc? It does seem rather an extreme policy, hence I wonder how you know

• Thai nationals and foreigners who use Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking can make an overseas transfer without applying for the service and registering recipients in advance.
• You can make an overseas transfer during 8.30 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. on the Bank’s business days.
• The maximum transfer limit is 1,500,000  baht per transaction per day (This is a combined the limit for international funds transfers made via Bualuang iBanking and Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking).
• Bangkok Bank will apply its “Selling Rate - TT” at the time you confirm the transaction.
• The international funds transfers service complies with official from the Bank of Thailand, AMLO Office and the Bank may require additional information from you.

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

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

The certificate will be available on Mor Phrom with English annotation for the relevant fields. You have to watch the name, if copied from the Thai every chance it will be wrong. This can be corrected by the vaccination centre that did the vaccination.

If the app is too much of a problem I believe there has been vaccination offices set up in most of the larger government hospitals, certainly one in mine. You can go there and they will print off a certificate free of charge.

The other option is to apply for the international certificate, think they are available at certain locations for 50 baht.

Thanks all for advice ????

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 ! ????

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

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
