Please re-post when sober.

Yup, ethansmithjim turned up like the bad penny just as expected.

That's OK to manage if you go via an intermediary (UK bank, Wise etc) but as we're talking about direct deposits from DWP it wouldn't work. Two of these 13 payments would be received in one calendar month giving 11 months at ฿38.2 and one month at ฿76.4. Immigration won't allow that. However, as mentioned above many will have some SERPS or S2P (or even some interest, savings or other income) inching them over the line.

That's exactly what I have done, but some landlords are not as helpful. Those using agents may not even know who their landlord is or how to contact them. The rules say no new TM30 is required in these situations but some immigration offices say differently.

More recent retirees on the New State Pension could have been doing it, although the current exchange rate drops the 4 weekly payment just below the ฿40k, but many of these will have some SERPS or S2P so could easily be in this position.

I'm lucky enough to be able to do mine online, but many renters using agents, or with absent or uncooperative landlords, can have difficulty getting it done at all.

Quite easy to understand really. https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tha/en/gbr/attend-centre/bangkok-hyatt-regency

I think he means this place in Soi (Siam) Country Club, about 100m from Sukhumvit on the right hand side as posted. Pic from StreetView. Copy this into Google for more info ศูนย์ซ่อมmacพัทยา or look at their website here: https://macpattaya.com/ It could save you having to go down the Linux route. From their website it looks like the're affiliated with Pattaya2U behind Tukcom so if they're closer you could drop in and ask them.

It does have toasters only you couldn't see them. Take a couple of toasties from the shelf and hand them over at the till and you'll see the staff load them up. That particular 711 is quite new (2017/8) and falls fouls of the no alcohol sales within a certain distance from a school but if it's lasted this long it'll probably be OK. Lots of parking space which the other doesn't have.

No, Qatar are selling flights in the full knowledge they may not operate to pocket customers money and attempt to lock them in to flying with them eventually. The BA offerings come up because they codeshare on these Qatar operated flights. Earliest BA operated flight to UK I can see in economy class is on the 29th March.

I'll try it again in a couple of weeks - Skyteam Elite Plus arriving in Business Class with Air France from CDG. Maybe a few minutes at security but not a big deal.

I'm with AIS and haven't noticed any issues. How recently has this started? It's a mobile data problem, not wifi.

The guy was right. BKK stopped fast track for elites in frequent flyer programs some time ago. Got to be in Business Class or above. Other Skyteam Elite Plus departure benefits still apply like lounges, priority check in and boarding and extra baggage, but fast track on arrival is no. From the Skyteam webite:

I don't think so. I'm in the UK now and have a mate's new Visa card here. Mine has not been issued yet, either physically or in the app, and my surname is earlier in the alphabet than his. Another thing to note is it appears the new cards are only valid until the same expiry date as the old card. I'd heard this elsewhere and my mate's card seems to back that up as it's valid from 02/26 to 08/28, only 2.5 years. Previously cards were at least 4 years going by mine which is valid until 10/27.

Still costing them no doubt but two of them have been running, as the BKK-HKG-BKK flights have continued and the DXB-BKK flight that continues on to SIA or DAD has operated yesterday and today.
