You can book online too, despite the link you gave saying book at the bus station.

I did exactly that on 4th June this year with my first two having been received in Scotland and the third in Thailand but registered with NHS Scotland. Airport check in looked at it and didn't blink. No-one on entry to Thailand looked at it but I had submitted it for the Thailand Pass which was needed then and it was granted without question. The phone app does display all 3.

Wise vs Wise Borderless Account
treetops replied to drenddy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Images of the card online appear to show the Mastercard logo so their rate would be applicable unless you choose to pay in a non-local currency which would open you to DCC. From their website: -
Wise vs Wise Borderless Account
treetops replied to drenddy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The borderless account is now called the multi currency account. I've never set one up as although I use Wise for transfers I have other accounts which offer me as good or better options than the Wise card. -
Assuming you're in Economy Class, you're not flying enough to make a FF program worthwhile. Concentrate on airline quality, cost and timings - only you can decide what priority to give to each. If you're flying Business or First Class you'll get most (if not all) of the benefits a FF program elite member will get anyway, so not worth chasing the points and again choose your carrier by the measures above.

TM30 online without TM6
treetops replied to beau thai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's the country your google account uses that matters. Settings, General, Account and device preferences, Country and profiles (for me). If it's on your home country you won't get geo-locked to Thailand apps but if you want to change it to Thailand you won't be able to change it back for a year. ETA: You can of course create another Google account based in another country and switch between them as required. -
What would you tell your 18yo self?

Don't pollute forums with nonsense when I'm older. -
The STEB bags he refers to can be taken as carry on after transit in many places, but these will have been purchased/sealed in a secure area and never left airside. As he is going landside at BKK I would expect (don't know 100% as never tried) security to knock them back. With security being at the gate for domestic departures I doubt that even airside transit passengers could do it at BKK, as security don't know where you've come from or if you've been landside while in transit.

How fast get off from Suvarnabhumi airport?
treetops replied to 2 is 1's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
Even on the same itinerary he would still have to clear customs etc at BKK. KKC has no facilities for these. According to Bangkok Airways the only other airports in Thailand you can transit to are shown below. I don't recall Trat and Pattaya being on the list but that's what they say. -

Thai Banks Closes Tomorrow and Friday!

Anything over 50,000 THB appears to go by the slower process, similar to when you select the funds are for long stay or house building. -

Position and movement of sun in the Thailand
treetops replied to FrederikKitten's topic in DIY Forum
Good answer. Although rising in the east and setting in the west is correct, there is also a tilting effect in the earth's rotation so that on June 21st the sun is over the Tropic of Cancer and on December 21st it's over the Tropic of Capricorn. Only exactly in the middle of these is it over the equator. With Thailand being south of the Tropic of Cancer there is always a north/south effect as well as the more noticeable east/west. -
Without the 1,932 baht error item, your bill would have been 2,985 - 1,932 = 1,053 baht, so you had other goods in your trolley worth over 1,000 baht and you ended up paying 782 baht for all those plus the potatoes. Most folk would praise Makro for fixing a problem and compensating you adequately but you come on moaning? Did this really happen? And why haven't all the self proclaimed mental arithmetic experts in the thread noticed this anomaly?
