  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. It's Soi Phettrakul and there's some constructions at the other end of the tents that appear to be more than just temporary. The banner outside from over a month ago.
  4. But if they continually get it wrong then using the map pin and/or a note to the driver may help.
  5. Can't you adjust the pick up point using the map pin or add a note for the driver to guide him?
  6. inDrive works in Pattaya too.
  7. 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.
  8. 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? https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I just saw an advert yesterday saying WU collections could now be made at 711's which might make it easier for the recipient.
  12. 5,000 baht up from these guys. https://www.limousine.in.th/
  13. https://www.limousine.in.th/
  14. Beaten 6-4 in the semi by Gary Wilson.
  15. Not available going by a dummy booking on their apps.
  16. Bought over by Grab maybe 4 years ago.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. That PEA office is long gone.
  20. 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.
  21. FCA licences are issued to many companies offering financial services, not only banks. For Wise the FCA licence lists under "Activities and services": For a typical High Street Bank this would be: Wise are not a bank in the eyes of the FCA, no matter how many times you post that image.
  22. I made no suggestion that the government was efficient enough to use the information to their advantage, only that the information is there if they were to look for it (in most cases). Border Force exit checks are not required.
  23. I have a couple of fee free cards from the UK. My understanding is that the Visa and MC exchange rates are slightly below the interbank rate that Wise use. That slight difference gives Visa/MC their fee when I use an ATM. The banks providing my cards have full protection.
  24. The government know when you leave through the airline API system which informs the UK government of the details of everyone on a flight originating, ending or transiting through the UK. If the will was there that information could be passed to other government departments.
  25. Given the OP's misfortunes with just about everything since he arrived, I would suggest using an agent is the safest option.
