Not immediate going by the wording on this.

There is a specific type of joint account where the survivor can legally access the funds that gets mentioned on here frequently. I can't remember the exact name but hopefully someone will be along soon who has one and can tell you what to ask for if you want one.

Can you expand on the process for Wise "pulling" from your bank? I always fund my transfers by sending money from my bank to Wise and wasn't aware of a pull option. I wonder if that is causing the issue.

OP doesn't want the airport supplied wheelchair but is asking about taking his own and where it'll end up. If he mentions the airline concerned he might get some informed responses rather than general information or guesses. Tipping the assistant? No, their employer takes care of their payment.

Incorrect. You claimed to have a backup and it wasn't what a reasonable person would call practical. You have now added a failure to accept the obvious being pointed out to you with a dire threat to my peaceful existence. Go and have a lie down please.

What? Your alternative method wasn't available at the point of payment so not really what most reasonable people would call a decent Plan B. You stick with it though if you think being escorted to an ATM by a staff member is a decent choice of backup.

Because you don't rely on one method according to your OP but your alternative was not immediately available to you without being frogmarched to an ATM.

Yet you got "escorted to the ATM"? Strange.

Did you fail to see the thread that was at the top of this forum when you posted? Already 11 pages long and discussing this exact issue. https://aseannow.com/topic/1328402-big-thailand-visa-changes-from-june-1/

The Brits have now made a formal complaint to the police according to the Pattaya News.

How are you accessing XE to get no fees, or is it an introductory offer or something? Using the app, I see a fixed fee of 1.99 GBP, 2.99 USD or 3.99 AUD.

The video in question was linked to by LennyW on this page and shows the 3 guys leaving the scene.

No, there isn't. It's mentioned on the previous page that video exists of them leaving the scene and reportedly later on crossing Pattaya Klang under their own steam.

Any changes between applications?

There is later video of them leaving the fight scene, albeit the white shirted one was on wobbly legs, and later crossing Klang at the junction with 2nd Road. Both would appear to indicate somewhat of a recovery.

For those having trouble with the QR Code/bank app there is also a Line account detailed on the bill which some posters on this recent thread have used to make contact and eventually pay the bill without a trip to City Hall, 711 or bank. https://aseannow.com/topic/1326453-condo-tax-in-pattaya/

It's the same distance to cover whether you show your passport and get your bags earlier or later in the process, so you would still have the same problems, just with the addition of hauling bags along,

Similar, but not quite the same for me. Air France recently directed me to their Thai site to purchase tickets based on my origin/location being Thailand. At the end of the process they tried to hit me with a credit card (maybe as much as 800 THB IIRC) so I changed site to the UK version. Purchased the same tickets as I had originally planned but was charged in GBP with no credit card fee and the mark up for them doing any conversion behind the scenes was about 10% of the 800 THB fee they would have charged. I don't know the intricacies of airline ticketing but that seems to me like SOTI.

Sounds like you may have chosen (or were unknowingly made) to pay in GBP which leaves you at the mercy of the vendor's exchange rate rather than the Visa/Mastercard rate which would have been much better. Paying in THB will almost always give you a better exchange rate. Your bank fees are avoidable if you have a card which is free of these - Halifax Clarity is one such card, however my understanding was you didn't get hit with the fees if you were billed in GBP. Maybe some banks still use "overseas purchases" to charge fees on rather than "foreign currency transactions"?

OK. I have fixed ones as "home" requires comms for security cameras and other IOT gadgets.

Any particular reason you specify a "pocket" router if it's for a fixed location, and not a full spec one?

Bluestacks is the one I see mentioned most often. No idea how it performs.

Not for me either. Wacko OP.

Isn't it due on the same date every month like my UK credit cards? Shouldn't be difficult to remember.
