So at the moment there is nothing announced for Nov 1st . Nothing about scrapping ASQ all together or a Sandbox scheme. I guess a sandbox scheme for other provinces inc Bangkok will be similar charge as ASQ.. Just damn well announce what it will be now please so we can plan,

I got through to the Thai Embassy in London and was told that 7 days is now the quarantine in Bangkok but at the moment hotel websites who are in the ASQ programme have not updated their sites to allow 7 days.. still having to pay for 14 days if wanted a letter of confirmation from it .... hmm

Don't believe these polls.. although I do acknowledge the poor education and irrationality of Thais

https://www.tatnews.org/2021/09/thailands-ccsa-approves-4-phase-reopening-plan-from-october-until-january/ This from TAT with all the so called "phases" and the CCSA . Awaiting approval from the cabinet. Still not clear if can 7 days quarantine in Bangkok from 1st Oct. and from Nov 1st no ASQ . and what is the position with CofE from what date, Clear as mud as ever

So will they please allow booking for ASQ for 7 days. At the moment its still 14 days only at the hotels in the programme

a total mess. No dates about anything. The Hotel industry dont know what to do. What about those of us with a place to stay in Thailnd? We still have to pay for this ASQ nonsense. 14 days of solitary torture

Really important if its November 1st Can wait till then but if its later Nov then its ASQ Really wish they would be specific

What is the latest on October date for opening ?

I am waiting for pre approval confirmation for c of e . What happens when approved, i see no links to enter flight and other asq information, Any advice how and where this is done on the thai embassy website?

So I about to send 20 UK pounds and I get message the cost is 83p to send Seriously how is Wise the best I saw .51% fee on a previous entering on a larger amount

I get email from wise customer service telling me I cannot transfer Uk pounds to Thai bank . its madness why do they say this

I have had email contact with Wise and they keep telling me I cannot transfer Uk sterling to Thai bank only Thai baht.. Its madness

Are there any meetings this week and announcements about October and the possible opening of to vaccinated visitors without ASQ ?

ok but the 0.5% fee. on 44200 Pounds 225 Uk pounds, ? I spoke to nationwide bank and they told me have to pay a CHAPS fee to transfer a large sum to another bank . Assuming wise is a bank

I looked at the wise rates for thailand from UK sterling at about 45.5 Baht to pound which is better than some Banks but the transfer fee is over 200 pounds (.51%) . My bank is Bangkok bank to recieve Uk sterling and nationwide Bank in Uk to send, its only 20 pounds . I want to send the maximum 2,000,000 baht but not sure to use Wise or Swift bank transfer . Any suggestions Thanks

I thought there was a meeting today about the covid and entry situation to decide about restrictions and ASQ ? Any decisions yet about ending or reducing time in ASQ from October ?

Have to end ASQ from October if Fully Vaccinated and have insurance and tested . Madness to force visitors and even people whose home is in Thailand to go solitary confinement

really? A house cannot be in my name ? I thought it could be joint ownership, actual land cant be in a foreigners name?

yes I have two bank accounts , bangkok and K, but its Thai baht . So is it better to do direct to thai bank and in sterling and then exchange to Thai baht? or have to monitor rates compared with transferwise ?

to buy a small house, Do I need to have some proof?

I am in the UK so guess I cant set up a sterling account for me account in Thailand. I can still transfer though?

Ok so its a twenty pound fee by nationwide. And its transferred as UK pounds and then changed to baht when arrives?

there was a thread on this few weeks ago .. specially for large amounts

Ok Guess only way is have to open lloyds bank account . Others must be similar I have Nationwide Bank

I cant find the thread about transferring a large sum of money from UK to Thailand. I am looking to transfer around 60,000-70,000UK Pounds about 2.5 million baht . What is the best way and best rate method to use. I have a Bangkok Bank account in Thailand and see that Bangkok bank have a branch in London. would this be a good method to use? If any one has any experience of transferring please reply, and any help to find a thread on this on the forum.. Thanks
