  1. Wise show on their front page comparison that Moneygram give a better deal up to c $10,000 USD and they use a rate better than mid market. I've no idea what the catch is, but it sounds good to me. Wise would appear to be best between 10K and 22K USD if all we see is true.
  2. Even on their lowest level "Light" tickets they are currently offering unlimited re-scheduling until the end of February and one further change post that. The end of February date was moved recently from the end of December so may be changed again. Fare difference is payable if there is no availability in your original fare bucket on the new dates.
  3. 2pm deposit usually means you've had your account tagged to use BBL as the transfer partner or you've used one of the reasons mentioned above to get the international "stamp".
  4. Etihad have a documented requirement. Anecdotally Emirates and Qatar also have a requirement. Can't say for others.
  5. If you want it quickly don't use the reason for transfer of Funds for long stay or Buying property (or words similar) as these transfers go through a different (slower) process to ensure they arrive with the international transfer "stamp". These are the ones mentioned that arrive at 2:00pm or shortly after into a Bangkok Bank account.
  6. Royal Garden Plaza are giving Pfizer boosters now, but I think I've read other posters who had two Pfizers originally saying they were rejected there as the third must be different. There's also a six month gap between two Pfizer and a booster which you would fall foul of.
  7. Some venues (eg the sports stadium in Pattaya) seem to be linked directly in to the database and updates are real time, whereas others must collect the data and update the database in batches, hence the delay you experienced.
  8. There's another thread on here about a lady refused boarding (in the USA I think) as the airline said Test and Go was finished. The Timatic system the airlines use backs that up and was updated yesterday, so it seems someone might have jumped the gun and Test and Go has been effectively cancelled immediately. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/world.php
  9. Thats a fee, nothing to do with exchange rates. ????
  10. Rightly or wrongly IATA updated their rules yesterday (5th January) and there is now no mention of Test and Go in the instructions to the airlines.
  11. Easy. Today's rate is 1:1 and I've a feeling tomorrow's will be the same.
  12. You could also do hotel quarantine elsewhere for 7 or 10 days.
  13. The testing order wsa only for Banglamung, Pattaya and Nongprue (no, I don't know exactly how the districts here work either) so Mueang Chonburi wouldn't have been affected?
  14. Or just cut the source stuff off the end, then you get a manageable link that still has the product title info in it. This is the same as both yours: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/2200-360w-220v-2021-r290-wimanair-i253972774-s392089307.html
  15. Mechanical splicing equipment is cheap and cheerful, although probably won't give the efficiency of the unspliced cable if that is an issue.
  16. I've just mentioned it on another thread, but I've got a next report date of 27th March for a 28th Dec submission and a 30th Dec approval, so in my case it's been measured from submission, not approval or required by date (Jomtien office). Different officers using different interpretations of the rules perhaps?
  17. From when the report was made for me, not from when it was approved or due (at Jomtien office). Report submitted 28th December and approved 30th. Next report due 27th March 2022. Jan = 31 days Feb = 28 days Mar = 27 days Total in 2022 = 86 days, so 4 days required from December must be 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st.
  18. duse??? Fees are seperate from the exchange rate and not the issue here, although your right they can give an effective rate much lower if calculated that way. Most savvy spenders overseas will have card(s) where no fees are added for foreign currency transactions. I said he accepted the rate offered instead of saying no, nothing about being forced to.
  19. Sounds like you accepted the rate offered by the ATM. When asked this question always say no and you'll get the true Mastercard rate, which would have been close to the 44.5 you mention. Look up Dynamic Currency Conversion for an explanation of how the ATM owner just robbed you, if indeed that is what happened.
  20. Are you for real? A couple of pages ago you accused a poster of having poor debating skills. That is not debating the topic, and I politely pointed out that from a neutrals point of view you weren't doing so well either. Since then you've taken it on yourself to make it personal. If you think that's not posting like a child having a tantrum you really need to think again. PS. Please go back and look at the comment of mine about online shopping you remembered replying to then come back and let us know who you were really replying to. I'll give you a clue first - it wasn't me - so how's the functioning memory now?
  21. That would be Friday and Saturday, not today (Thursday) and tomorrow.
  22. You register with the 13 digit Vaccine ID number you mentioned and your phone number.
  23. The owner has said elsewhere he intends to re-open but must first do remedial work to repair wood damage (IIRC) inside the bar. The shutters have been up at times recently while this has been getting under way so may have given the impression from a distance that it was open, but not quite yet.
