Look at this thread. There's a few banks mentioned and Krungsri is one of them, with a potential explanation on the second page if Amazon use KBank as their processor. https://aseannow.com/topic/1348303-grab-and-food-panda-blocking-some-or-all-thai-bank-debit-cards/page/2/

There is no legal right to claim it back. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2022/01/dwp-has--no-legal-power--to-force-you-to-repay-pension-or-benefi/

I thought that had been dropped already as the machines weren't up to scratch, or is it back on again? https://www.able2travel.com/news/new-airport-scanners-fail-100ml-liquid-limit-returns-across-eu/ It's for a different system, not immigration. You would be able to get through the rest of the departures process including boarding without showing boarding pass or passport again as it would be done with facial recognition. It was due to be implemented in November and December but I've never heard of it actually being switched on yet. I noticed the hardware in place in October. https://www.tatnews.org/2024/11/aot-rolls-out-biometric-system-to-enhance-passenger-experience-across-six-airports/

Do you really think the US Embassy are going to get involved to any extent?

Wise use mid-market rates so no spread involved. They make their money from their fees which in general are percentage based. When sending currencies where the banks typically have a low spread, eg USD, there comes a point where Wise' percentage overtakes the costs of other methods. I think another poster worked it out at around 20,000 USD in his case but not sure of his Swift fees. For currencies where banks have a bigger spread (bigger than Wise %age fee), the total cost will be less with Wise.

Open accounts with everyone you can and don't tell them you're moving to Thailand. You can then pick and chose how much to keep and where for maximum interest (not mentioned in the OP) and security before sending it using Wise or Swift or whatever to K Bank.

Open an account with a regular High Street bank (more than one bank so you have a backup) and have your pension and any other income paid into it. Then use it to fund Wise' transactions. Get a cheap UK SIM to allow you to get OTPs when you're in Thailand.

They did my extension too but it wasn't mentioned recently when I went in to request they do my 90 day report. Maybe they remembered my face from 7 months ago, but it seems more likely to me that anybody could walk in and request it.

Maneerat will do for 100 baht.

This one? Google says yes and most recent review I saw was 3 months ago.

Two or three times a year so not excessive and yes, they were updating at immigration on my return.

I rent and after a recent trip overseas my landlord said they would have to start charging me for repeated TM30s. They weren't aware it could be done online and made a trip to Immigration every time. At my request they gave me signed copies of the chanote and their passport and I subsequently created an account in their name that I control and can now do my own TM30s with one succesfully done to date.

Just looked at a map and some of the Nakhonchaiair ones might go near you, eg to Buriram, Ubon, Sisaket, Surin but I don't know the exact routes they follow.

Both 407 Pattana and Phet Prasert buses go from Pattaya to Korat, Udon or Nong Khai which all likely take that road. Can't help with websites as I've only used 407 Pattana and booked at their office. Nakhonchaiair buses from Rayong pickup and drop off in Pattaya but don't appear to have a route near you. https://www.nakhonchaiair.com/ncaweb/home-en

All evisas must be applied for online, but instead of getting a 60 day tourist visa why not get a 60 day visa exemption if your passport allows?

150kg of cannabis at Aberdeen Airport a few days ago too. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8em06pjm7o

They don't need internet data, as you say, even in Thailand. I was going to suggest no credit but you can make calls so it's not that. Sounds more like a setting on your phone?

They must have known it was coming. Residents in the condos were told recently that their access to Soi 15 through the hotel could be cut off. Current hotel guests were informed a couple of days ago they would have to leave by today. What is the link to the cybercrime guy?

Screenshot taken just now.

Apologies, your experience was to Krabi where it's different from the OP's Phuket. It appears that if on the same ticket, baggage can be transferred to PG to Phuket, Samui and Chang Mai, but not Krabi, Hat Yai or Trat despite them all having local capability for Customs etc. https://www.bangkokair.com/through-check-in

Assuming it was a similar time you travelled to the UK last year then you might just have got in before the rules changed. I entered last year at the end of September and got 90 day approved online in December, but by a trip in March this year my online application was rejected. Also Jomtien office.

So 52 reported yesterday added to the 38 today makes a total of 93?

Even without hydraulics it can be manually lowered.
