Add Finnair to that list. However, even on these "Light" or "Special" tickets you should get lounge access if you have higher status in their (or their partners if applicable) frequent flying club. But not at outstations, you have to be Gold or above for that.

Google HBO GO apk and you should find alternative sources for the app you need. apkpure is one I trust.

There were several suggestions on your recent thread about preventing them falling out of your ear. Did you try any of them? https://aseannow.com/topic/1309973-ear-buds/

Is there a big bus from Don Mueang airport to Pattaya?
treetops replied to advancebooking's topic in Bangkok
I've use the Mochit to Pattaya bus recently and a bit disorganised is an understatement. The OP would be dropped off by the A1 bus quite a distance from where he would catch the Pattaya bus. If he can negotiate his way through the market stalls and around the departure terminal to the ticket desks he will have done well. Once inside the Roong Rueang ticket desk is towards the right as you face them, just before an exit to the station concourse. The sales lady wrote the platform number on the ticket but some platforms are accessed via an overhead walkway from the first floor, however these are indicated on the information boards. -
This is unusual as I've submitted and had approval online a couple of times this year after returning from overseas, one as recent as last week. Even today a mate has done the same, and another who also renewed his passport while overseas got online approval. All of these were from Jomtien immigration.

If you entered on 5th October then your 90 day report is due by 2nd January, not 5th. The window to do it online is open now. Coming back from abroad does not prevent you doing it online, although it's been said that a first ever report must be done in person. If I were you I would submit it online now using your Bangkok address and cross your fingers it gets approved. If not, change your address and do it locally in person. You have until a week after the report date to do it in person which is handy as any post New Year holiday rush can hopefully be avoided.

New border checks for British UK to EU travel.

Buy a pair that fit you? -
I've highlighted the bit that I think you're after.

I don't have one but from others I think that you need to create a GBP account within Wise. After you do a test deposit and maybe verify your identity you will be given a new UK sort code and account number to allow payments like this.

ATM exchange rates
treetops replied to nana kid's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You've been told nonsense. Unless you choose the rate offered by the ATM (which nobody should do) you will get the rate as set by the card processor, most likely Visa or Mastercard. This does not change dependant on whose ATM you use. -
There's no one answer to the OP's question. Funding source, reason for transfer, destination bank and amount being transferred can all affect the processing time. The long stay or buying property reasons mentioned above seem to be the most frequently discussed as lengthening the time to ensure the overseas origin is indicated. The value of the transfer seems to change but can be manipulated by adjusting the amount sent.

It was a Thailand holiday weekend. Lots of staff on holiday perhaps? The new booths are not only for visa exempt people from what I've read.

Is the requirement for debit card details the only method offered? In a recent similar thread there were options which also included entering your ibanking userid or savings/current account information. Being locked out of ibanking due to an expired card also sounds unusual. Are you sure this is the reason?

WISE vs Australian banks
treetops replied to mfd101's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
He's right, but he's over-egging at least one of the figures. His own site has a calculator/comparator on it which shows the difference between Wise and NAB as 4,885 THB on a 10,000 AUD transfer. This equates to just over 207 AUD or just over 2% which is significant but not what he claimed. Would it be even closer if you asked your bank to send THB and let your Thai bank do the conversion, taking into account fees at either end (and maybe in the middle too)? -
It's 100% everything to do with it. Wise (or probably Transferwise at the time) specifically introduced this option to support folk needing the international transfer notation. The option about purchasing a property also means arrival the next day and the international transfer listing. If you're with Bangkok Bank it'll be just after 2:00pm the next day I'm sure? Remember they don't guarantee it 100% so have a backup if one month it doesn't work as planned.

Bank transfer after 1st Jan or now?
treetops replied to kwak250's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That's because there is no plan to do so. Just wild speculation that some have fallen for. -
Apparently the NT Thunder SIM doesn't. This was recommended to me during my recent discussion and I almost moved to it. I even went to their office to get one but it was a holiday Monday and they were closed. When I next had an opportunity I'd heard back from DTAC and changed my habits as mentioned.
