  1. My kitchen extension has 4 fluorescent lights and 2 double power sockets - one circuit 30 amp breaker.  Been there probably 8/9 years..All cabling hidden above the ceiling

    In the past few days power has stopped for an hour or 2, then comes back on and goes off again a couple hours later.

    If I switch the lights off, they do not come back on for another hour or 2

    If lights are off, sometimes when I turn on, they light for a second and then go off. Power to the sockets is lost too.

    I have replaced the breaker to no avail.

    Any ideas?
     

  2. Advised Wednesday at 4pm. by VFS that renewed British passport back.  Can only collect Mon.Wed and Fri between 2-3pm   What total nonsense!!!!

    Heard this morning that earliest appointment for applying for a British passport is now early December!!!!!!!!!!!

    HMPO UK have problems, but cannot understand why VFS  cannot get their act together.  Add 4 weeks to HMPO 11 weeks and that makes 15, well beyond Immigration,s requirement for 90 day reporting.  Forget online reporting in most parts of Isan! Also plays havoc for many farangs who need to extend their permission to stay!

    Don't expect Immigration or the British Embassy to be sympathetic and assist!

    They don't. 

     

    You can always enter the UK as a British citizen, even with an expired passport.

    What about a Thai with dual British/Thai nationality. Whilst as you say they can enter the UK with an expired British passport, what problems would they encounter at the Thai airport when leaving on their valid Thai passsport, since the British passport which would ordinarily suffice instead of a visa has expired? I can imagine that would cause considerable confusion with some airlines.

  4. Don't know where you are Mommysboy, but I had a first Pfizer shot in Khon Kaen last Sunday, and am lined up for No 2 on 1st Nov at Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen  Arranged by the British chamber of commerce (Thailand)  Also worth noting is that Buriram hospital are vaccinating teenagers this week.

     

    If your hospital messed up, and either Buriram or Khon Kaen are convenient to you, I am sure they could pull a few strings to get you your second vaccine.

    Lot of rubbish in this thread.

    At least for EUR to THB and that's all I can describe.

    There are actually four different methods to send.

    Three of them are shown on their site, nothing "hidden" (rubbish).

    All fees are different not same same (more rubbish).

    The three methods as shown on their site:

    The fourth and cheapest method is sending from the account that you have set up with WISE.

    (of course you need to fund that account by some transfer from your account which is free within SEPA).

     

    Thank you for the confirmation Khun BenQ  Some people refuse to believe anyone else!

    No I am not. His example is for a USD transfer (presumably) from that country. There are different procedures there, which I do not understand fully, but I do know they have caused confusion in the past.  I do notice a 'wire fee', which you won't see on a GBP transfer.

     

    You stepped into this conversation referring to Pounds sterling, following a post by scubascuba3, who also referred to that currency.

     

    I deal in GBP and I have used both my Wise account and my UK bank account to fund my transfers and I can state, quite categorically that there is no difference in the fee that Wise charge.

    You don't want to believe my experiences with GBP transfers over the past year.  Up to you.   Using a Wise balance  gives you a higher transfer amount albeit very small due to a lower fee,. .Over and out!
