Not all back on - only 31st.  29th and 30th fireworks still cancelled from what I've read.

she is probably lying....ah <deleted> her....good enough sign to keep away....

Not necessarily.  It can sometimes be difficult out in the sticks of Sri Racha district, and there are often no win motocycles for miles unlike Pattaya where they're every street corner.  If she's used to never using taxis she could be unaware of what's available nowadays.

she said there are no taxis in sri racha...which seems strange to me...is she pulling a short one here?

You want to go to Sri Racha and that would mean getting a taxi in Pattaya district so that doesn't matter.  If she's that good you won't be worried about coming back.

It's easy to check anyway by doing a dummy booking on Bolt or Grab and putting your origin as  Sri Racha and see if they offer anything.  They do from Sri Racha town, but you never said if you needed to go to the town or elsewhere in Sri Racha district.

I have just got my yearly summary from Wise and they say I made 27 transactions this year.

 

I am aware of the reasons I gave for transfer.

What bank do you send to in Thailand?

KannikaP's claim that it's not immediately transferred if long term stay is selected is true for Bangkok Bank and I think one other (Kasikorn?) so I suspect you're using someone else.  You probably don't require it to be marked as international for immigration purposes, or you obtain Credit Advice Notes if you do.

Line notifications and call alerts are unreliable IMO.  I've experienced the same as the OP on several occasions as have others I know.  It's never been frequent enough to overly concern me.

It's Soi Phettrakul and there's some constructions at the other end of the tents that appear to be more than just temporary.

Lazada never have a problem delivering goods, straight to the house, I put my full address house number etc in for Bolt but they stop 30 metres down the road

But if they continually get it wrong then using the map pin and/or a note to the driver may help.

When Bolt pick me up their map directs them 60/70 metres away from my house, I have to stand outside and direct them to my house. 

Can't you adjust the pick up point using the map pin or add a note for the driver to guide him?

Odd that they would be in CM, BKK, and Phuket but not in Pattaya....then again, there are so many local fiefdoms in Thailand, who knows.

inDrive works in Pattaya too.

Sri Racha town or Sri Racha subdistrict?

I got to Bueng, Bowin and Nong Kham fairly regularly.  All are in Sri Racha but far enough away from Sri Racha town that my suggestions of how to get there would depend on where precisely you want to go.

Now, with the updated website format, I find it impossible to login. First of all there is no login option on the main page. You have to enter a search command to find the login field.

I see the login option clearly on the opening page after following this link.  Are you using this address, or if not,  how are you acccessing the site?

Anyone else noticed that TransferWise UK > Thailand now takes till next working day?
  
A few weeks back it was 7 seconds!

 

Anything to do with UK change to Winter time?

Nothing to do with "Winter time".

How you fund it, whether you use a Wise multicurrency acount, value of the transaction and the reason for the transfer could all affect the time taken but you haven't mentioned details for any of these so I doubt if you'll get any decent feedback.

I've recently started turning mine off as it seemed to be "leaking" data even though my Thai SIM was selected as the data SIM.  A phone call to O2 got me a credit for the leakage but in order to stop it happening again I leave it off, and every day or two I disable mobile data, turn the SIM on and it lets me know any calls I've missed and downloads any SMSs.  Once done I turn the SIM off again, enable data and I'm good again for a day or two.

The recipient can collect it from  any W.U office they like and its up to them to find a W.U office

I just saw an advert yesterday saying WU collections could now be made at 711's which might make it easier for the recipient.

5,000 baht up from these guys.

What happened to Uber?

Bought over by Grab maybe 4 years ago.

Type "change email" into Ava.  Ignore all the suggestions and replies and wait until you get a button "Talk to Allstar".  Press it, enter the details requested and you'll get a real person responding.

Grab and Bolt both currently working in Pattaya - I used them both yesterday.  Grab was unusually cheaper on one occasion as Bolt's surge pricing (fireworks demand I presumed) trebled the usual fare on my route.

Bolt also work fine in Hua Hin.

I'm looking at my December 2021-issued TM6 now, cannot see a field for departure date. 

Agreed.  I got one in June this year and there's no field to enter departure date.  However the entry date is stamped on the rear of the card so I suspect that's confused matters.
