  1. US Social Security is not taxed in Thailand.
  2. This was ianguygil I believe, but he appears to no longer be visiting the site.
  3. Yes it is, you just have to tunnel down to the right level.
  4. https://airportpattayabus.com/
  5. As mentioned above, Swift is often better for larger USD transactions, such as your case, as it's the most commonly traded currency and spreads are tight, but the OP appears to use GBP which tends to have a much bigger spread and means Wise may well be the better choice.
  6. Price is different in his other thread.
  7. It was in Krabi according to other sources.
  8. You may be asked to show an onward ticket showing you're leaving Cambodia.
  9. I'm not the guy you asked, but if I may chip in here I recall this being discussed before. I'm quoting from a previous thread where it was mentioned: There followed some debate about whether this only related to Thai Social Security or Social Security from other countries too, but this may be what the poster is referring too.
  10. For TT yes, but Wise use their own mid-market rate which is always better. When the banks have a low spread between buying and selling (eg USD) then Swift will win after a point, but when the higher spread is larger than Wise' percentage charge then Wise will always win. I'm sure that's the case for GBP which is what you are discussing. Happy to be proved wrong if someone crunches the numbers, but that's been my take on it recently.
  11. Or if they can't remember they can always use The Orange Alligator Sat On His Cornflakes And Hiccuped.

    Swampy Bus

    More details in these other threads on the topic. https://aseannow.com/topic/1352167-new-bus-routes-link-bangkok-airports-to-pattaya-and-hua-hin/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1352192-finally-regular-bus-service-from-don-mueang-pattaya/
  13. Glad this is in the Pub forum and hopefully won't attract the usual income tax nonsense like all the other threads.
  14. Plenty of these signs on South Road. Two languages and a widely recognised symbol for no parking.
