  1. Not any more. See my replies to happydreamer in the posts above yours.
  2. Forum Rule 17 will ensure this thread doesn't get much response.
  3. Nobody knows for sure but I expect permanent. Bangkok Bank transfers appear to all get made just after 2:00pm on the day after Wise is funded. Same day if you're early enough in the morning. They also appear to all be coded as International Transfers. I'm not familiar with USA banks but there also appears to be issues in getting money from your banks to Wise, but these aren't new.
  4. Now in the Bangkok Post and not limited to Russians. Another thread on the subject has been shut down but it seems to be gaining credence. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3036585/bangkok-bank-cracks-down-on-foreigners-accounts-amid-scam-fears
  5. Some UK advisers are allowed to advise overseas clients if they have the necessary qualifications or have relationships with overseas regulators, although these were mostly advising EU based clients pre Brexit. There's an off chance some will be able to offer you advice and the best way to track one done would be via unbiased.com If the pension company's rules don't allow you to do as you wish it should be easy enough to transfer if you can set up with the likes of HL, as mentioned above, or AJ Bell.
  6. This guy got done at a transit stop so it is possible. Could be the lazy French didn't want the hassle and let the Spanish deal with it. https://aseannow.com/topic/1362061-british-man-nabbed-smuggling-cannabis-from-bangkok-to-newcastle/
  7. There's been significant changes in the past couple of weeks discussed in some other threads. What bank are you sending to in Thailand?
  8. Do it through your airline and you'll get it at the other end of your journey too.
  9. The standard for defining biometric passports says facial, fingerprint or iris recognition are the current options for biometrics so a photo must be satisfactory.
  10. Tommy Dee had a stroke a while back. He's mostly recovered but I'd guess that's why it's up for sale.
  11. It's not you or your phone, the forum software only allows approved sources to be linked.
  12. The airline you book through.
  13. How to misunderstand something and make yourself look stupid with a nonsensical reply. Do you expect a business such as this to do it for nothing? Of course they charge for it and if someone's willing to pay then why not? My landlady requested I paid for her to do it after frequent trips overseas but I now have it set up online and can do it myself.
  14. This was from Maneerat 4 months ago, but as already said, go get the latest straight from the horse's mouth.
  15. More details of the Golden Visa in this post. Not at all high investment level required. https://aseannow.com/topic/1348917-thai-tax-tangle-expats-warned-of-new-rules-on-overseas-income/page/90/#findComment-19820404
  16. I think he's describing this procedure: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/support/home-appliances/how-to-change-display-temperature-from-setting-temperature-to-current-room-temperature-using-a-remote-controller/
  17. From what I've read here and elsewhere, Bangkok Bank seems now to be always next day at 2:00pm if the transfer is initiated after about 10:00 or 11:00am Thai time (up to £25,000) and getting the "International Transfer" annotation all the time now. Don't know if that change is here to stay but I suspect so.
  18. Which Thai banks? I would bet yours wasn't to Bangkok Bank.
  19. Tranglo certainly seem to be popping up a lot but maybe that's because there's a lot of issues at the moment. Tranglo have been a partner for over a year without much mention. I've posted in another thread that a potential reason is the recent imposition of ISO 20022 messaging format on transactions which has ruled a lot of banks out of the process altogether and I suspect is causing some teething problems with others.
  20. Could the display be toggling between set point and actual room temperature? Does the 33 (in the video) or 31 (as you wrote) lower as the room temperature comes down?
  21. Lots of reports of this and as mentioned upthread I think it's here to stay. The most plausible reason for it from what I've read is a recent change by the Thai banks to use the ISO 20022 message format. Some haven't changed and these have been excluded from receiving Wise transfers for now. Those that have changed have in many cases had their upper limits for transfers increased. I don't know why this means things take longer but it seems to be a side effect and we may just have to live with it.
  22. The discussion is spread over a few threads, but yes, something has changed. I use Bangkok Bank too (from the UK) and everything seems to be arriving now at ~ 2:00pm with the International Transaction annotation. They seem to be having problems with their partner bank(s) too. The change they introduced restricting the Thai banks they could send to is understood to be down to the adoption of a new communication standard for transactions which some banks aren't ready for, and I would bet all the other hiccups are down to this too.
