  1. My answer was in response to the "you have to use Dee" in your post, but to add to this, you're right and you still can't use Wise to transfer money out of Thailand. I think you have misunderstood what MJCM was talking about in the earlier discussion. I only use Wise for their transfer service but it's possible to hold money with Wise in several currencies including Thai Baht. This can then be transferred to other currencies or your bank account in Thailand (or elsewhere) freely. The key point (I believe) is that any balances can not be funded from THB deposits. The deposits must be made from another approved currency but once in Wise can be changed from one currency to another at will. Does that make more sense?
  2. Historically it may have been difficult, hence the use of Dee Money, but there are numerous reports now of people sending money out via their bank's website or mobile app.
  3. Did you have an evisa or a visa sticker? If the former, did you show a copy to the Immigration Officer stamping you in on arrival?
  4. Take the car out before they lay the asphalt and park it round the corner.
  5. It's being re-absorbed into Thai Airways who are continuing most (all?) its routes.
  6. British Airways don't allow extra according to the oneworld information page, but they are the only exclusion. https://www.oneworld.com/travel-benefits
  7. Certainly on Finnair Light tickets as a One World Sapphire.
  8. I just purchased an airline ticket a couple of days ago and was doing it through "airline".co.th and it appears as you say and was priced in THB. I reneged at the last minute and made the purchase through "airline".co.uk and was charged in GBP. Is this still a SITI situation and just done behind the scenes, as there was no apparent Thai link except for the origin of the flight?
  9. This unpackaging of ancillaries is good for frequent flyers who get luggage, lounge etc as a perk of their status so can buy these cheap tickets but not lose out on the features they require. I've done it a couple of times with Finnair "Light" tickets but as you say prices have gone up, although I see signs of Finnair returning to almost pre-covid level on some routes/dates.
  10. Thanks for coming back 8 months later with such eloquent feedback.
  11. OP has been posting about his fictitious friend on overstay since October and just needs to bite the bullet and leave or resign himself to hiding forever. https://aseannow.com/topic/1310066-overstay/
  12. 6 posts up from yours someone has reportedly done it, but has obviously been asked to help the process along with a brown envelope.
  13. Yes, as long as the bank transfer process shows them as coming in from overseas.
  14. Chonburi city is the capital of Chonburi province. Head north past Laem Chabang and Sriracha and you'll come across it.
  15. I fixed my issue in my settings. The second tick box below had been unset somehow.
  16. Anyone noticed any issues with following threads automatically? My setting appeared to have changed for threads I post in. Firefox and Windows 10 on a laptop.
