  1. Tap Translate Screen app. Draw a box round the Thai text with the on-screen cursor and it'll translate the contents of the box. Fiddly to start with but you get used to it.
  2. Nope - uninstall a browser or delete activity/history is what it says, that's why I asked the poster who recommended it.
  3. How do you uninstall a website you access with your laptop browser?
  4. If it was an overpayment while he was alive they can do this. If it was to rectify a payment made after his death (maybe a timing issue in his death being reported and filtering through the system) they may ask for its repayment but there is no legal need to pay it. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2022/01/dwp-has--no-legal-power--to-force-you-to-repay-pension-or-benefi/
  5. Yes. You show your Business Class boarding pass to the Immigration Officer. The Fast Track area was reported as being in the renovation process recently and fast tracks were being processed to one side of the main immigration hall, so you may have to look out for it if that's still the case.
  6. It's old information, but there used to be a seperate pass. This was one version.
  7. The IATA site is Timatic. I like to use the Emirates interface to it which can be found here: https://www.emirates.com/uk/english/before-you-fly/visa-passport-information/ It confirms the information used by the airlines has been updated to reflect the change to 45 days on arrival for visa exempt entry. Here's the data for a British passport holder:
  8. I know their website isn't very good, but it's not showing a CM to Buriram bus. Is it the one to Ubon that perhaps stops off in Buriram or is there a point to point one that's missing from the website list?
  9. That's the day it's paid out by the government. Your delay is it being processed by Citibank and sending it overseas.
  10. There's not much gets past you is there? Unfortunately "the fool who bought etc" got past you as well. It's at the top of each page but I'll put it here for you too.
  11. Sounds a bit creepy to me.
  12. I did. You didn't. 200 to 300 mm is not around 4 to 8 inches but you go with it if you want. Mind your head. ????
  13. To expand on this, get credit cards with no foreign currency/overseas transaction fees. Same with your current accounts.
  14. Maybe just your office or a combination with last weekend's holidays. Mine took 42 minutes from receipt to approval following an overseas trip a few months ago. (Timestamps are BST).
  15. Was the conversion of mm to inches one of these things?
  16. If the suspect HDMI port has been unused for a while it may have a build up of dust etc on it (I experience this often in hotels where I might be the first person to conneect in a while). Sometimes breaking and remaking the contact a few times will break through it, sometimes it'll need cleaned out with a little brush.
  17. No. Ignore the reminder you get to report by Nov. 5th. That report is not required since you left the country. Count 90 days from your return on October 11th (11th being Day 1) and that's your next report due date. ETA: 8th January I work it out as.
  18. I would wait a bit longer. Mine was certainly approved after a trip out of the country earlier this year. Jomtien office.
  19. The tagging of accounts for Bangkok Bank, which was superceded by the long stay reason for transfer to ensure the international code, works well in most cases and routes through BBL with no intermediary.
  20. Since the option to select long stay in Thailand was introduced it appears to have worked almost flawlessly in obtaining the International Transfer annotation on deposits, until a few queries recently. Prior to that acounts had to be manually tagged and that too appeared to work well. They will always put a proviso to give themselves a get out in case it fails, but the system in general seems pretty robust and it's definitely not down to pot luck or we would hear regular tales of woe. Users should have a back up plan in case the Wise transfer throws up something unusual.
  21. From the immigration site you mentioned in your OP go to "Online Services" then TM47. Scroll down until you see "Online Notification" and it'll link to the same place others have directed you to. Unless of course you don't trust the immigration site you linked to and think it would send you somewhere dodgy?
