Their 787-8 use the Zodiac Aura Lite seats in 2-2-2 layout so not all have direct aisle access. Google should find you more details on them.

Here's an example of the return leg of a SYD-MNL fare on PAL with dates chosen at random. Different days showing prices with over 700 AUD difference so the charges mentioned in the OP are entirely believeable.

Western Union better than “Wise”
treetops replied to Everyman's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I do pretty much the opposite from you and never hold money in Wise in any currency. I always do my transfers funded from my UK bank account (online transfer) to be deposited straught into to BBL account and I have never experienced any delays of the magnitude noted by other posters. My suspicion is the delays are mostly experienced when the source of funds is the USA and the accounts doing the sending either aren't verified or their link to Wise' transfer partner in the USA is suspect. -
If you were at the Second Road/South Road junction you would walk the 150m to Walking Street rather than going the length of Second Road and back down Beach Road in a couple of baht buses, same as in your previous example of going "all the way to Walking Street in one stop". Jomtien is screwed up with the one way road but elsewhere everything is as before.

Apparently the company offering the cheap prices in your example (EaseMyTrip) will call you the next day after you book and pay and ask for more money - their bookings and prices aren't live/real time. Do you want to buy from a shonky Indian company with dubious practices? https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/easemytrip.com?sort=recency

Non immigrant O visa in Bangkok?
treetops replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can get it in Thailand or outside. For UK applicants they don't go to the embassy, and no longer even have to send your passport in. -
FATCA gives the USA info on accounts held overseas but does not give overseas governments info on USA holdings which CRS would. However, as mentioned elsewhere, the USA is a member of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes which is effectively the same thing as the CRS, just using different mechanics the way I read it.

changing sim card from phone in home country
treetops replied to Pouatchee's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Using VoLTE for (long) calls if you have a limited amount of data but lots of free call minutes available. You can soon find your data gone and having to cough up for more. -
Presumably a room containing the parts (excluding panels) of a solar electric generating/storage set up. Inverter, controller, batteries and anything else required.

The MFA guy interviewed by "Retired Working For You" on youtube mentioned the one day out IIRC. The two days out rule is not specific to DTVs but any border run at specific crossings, according to this thread: https://aseannow.com/topic/1336345-lao-borders-some-at-least-now-requiring-overnight-stay/

Thai Bus Firms Under Siege by Cut-Rate Chinese Competitors

Yes, but you can't get 30 people in like you can with a bus. 🙄 -

Star alliance frequent flyer miles . A swindle ?
treetops replied to surreybloke's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
How many miles and which airline program? I'm not familiar with Star Alliance in general, but have still have some Qatar (Oneworld) miles (Avios) and AFKL (Skyteam) miles as well as some in Emirates' Skywards. I have always been able to use any before they expire, often by looking at using airline partners, eg Bangok Airways. -

You may want to go there and leave the finance area for more knowledgable comment. Just like gamma, nothing you have posted recently shows any real awareness of the subject. -
