    Damini in Soi Post Office give a better rate and are open 24 hours but don't have the branch network of TT. When withdrawing at ATMs the exchange rate is set by the payment processor, usually Visa or Mastercard, unless you choose otherwise. With no bank fees this is one of the most efficient ways to get cash abroad. It was similar in Thailand before the ATM fee came along.

    OP-bot has just re-written this article and juggled a few words about to make it sound original. All 5 paragraphs contain the same information and written in the same order. Verdict: Must try harder. https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/13/vandalism-defaces-iconic-pattaya-city-sign/

    Don't you think you've kicked the 4rse out of it enough? Try somewhere else for a while.

    If converting from GBP then you're correct up until about £1,200. After that Wise beat Revolut on cost.

    Must be the entry gates then, not the exit ones which are much more recent?

    Stop being obtuse and ignoring the context of my reply. How can anyone read the OP and not make an intrepretation of what is said?

    Not how I read it. My version: Moto taxi stops to allow passenger to alight. While getting off passenger drops a bag into the road which unseats a passing motorcyclist who can't avoid it. A small accident is farting and following through. Causing a motorcyclist to crash by dropping something on the road in front of him is much more significant and the OP will (rightly) be owing some damages.

    Does the article have a date on it? That appears a significant change if this article is correct. On further reading it's mandatory to issue a FET if the value is over $50,000 USD. Maybe lower value ones are a grey area or down to the bank local practices?

    Wow. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit is on the ball. No looking back now. And replacement of the automatic passport-checkers? I hope not the exit route ones as they've only recently been installed. Or is the whole story just another slew of words with no basis in what's actually going to happen?

    Why? It's a villa resort complex which offers extra beds if required and a 24 hour reception.

    That's certainly a good data point for others using Nonthaburi.

    Would you like to share which office and whether you have left the country or renewed a permission to stay or passport, or anything else that might otherwise have affected your submission?

    It's >13% who have moved or not found a resolution to a big problem. That's around 1 in 8, so at least one on every floor of most condos, maybe even 2 or 3 depending on the size of the place. If there really was that many on each and every floor that would be a huge problem IMO.

    Not the case as little as 9 months ago. https://aseannow.com/topic/1303493-obtaining-fets-from-your-bank/?do=findComment&comment=18274323

    Looks like Chivani?

    If it's a dual jet bridge the upper deck economy section will get off using the upper level door, so behind a maximum of 56 First and Business Class passengers. It is supposed to be a better economy experience upstairs.

    Would you admit to it if you did?

    Incorrect. From this article: https://news.mongabay.com/2022/12/as-waste-to-energy-incinerators-spread-in-southeast-asia-so-do-concerns/

    That would be multiple appointments/bills covered in one claim in my experience.

    Can't remember about on screen, but the email acknowledgment refers to it as an application and the approval email says your application has been approved.

    Some offices are said to accept Wise' printouts, some not. If it helps. Wise detail on their website how to obtain the Foreign Exchange Transaction form which is the Thai bank issued proof and seems to be more bulletproof than the Wise document. https://wise.com/help/articles/2932335/guide-to-thb-transfers

    Walking on a particular side of the pavement is "seedy"? The things you learn here.
  24. treetops
    Switch everything off and see if the meter is still turning.

    OK. Found them under "Property and Finance". Can someone tell the new owners or whoever is behind this to bog off?
