Have you tried the ones from Sloanes? I've not tried the haggis, but their black pudding is good.

Check with British Council in Thailand first. BC can legalise UK education documents in some countries.

Having worked with EF in other countries and seen how this survey is implemented, I would give zero credence to the findings. It is a purely commercial process designed to get the results they want in each country. (I'm not claiming Thailand is any better or worse than the supposed ranking, as I have no evidence either way.)

Thanks all, he's going to ask for a letter to be sent out. He seemed to think he'd be in some kind of trouble with the embassy if they knew how he'd renewed it.

I'm posting this for someone else. He's fairly sure he's screwed up, but I said I would ask if there is an obvious fix. Brit working in Thailand with a Smart T visa + extension. His UK passport needed to be renewed, and there are still long waits for overseas renewals. He did an urgent renewal online, sent his passport back to the UK with a relative, and they were able to pick his new passport up for him and bring it back to Thailand. Now he has his old, cancelled passport (corner cut off), which has his visa, extension and stamps in, and a brand new completely empty passport. He started getting the paperwork together to transfer stuff over, but he needs a transfer letter that he should have got from the British Embassy (I think? I'm not exactly sure who the letter was from). If he had renewed it properly, he would have got the letter automatically, but because of his shenanigans, he hasn't got one. Is this transfer letter essential? Will the British Embassy issue one given that he shouldn't have renewed like this in the first place? What options does he have to fix this? Thanks!

I don't know what happened with your booking at MedPark, but most of the hospitals that had paid-for Moderna seem to have got their supplies from the same batches, and they expired at the end of October/start of November.

Brexit won't be over until the English government comes up with a solution that doesn't put a border between Northern Ireland and England or between NI and Éire. But unless you are pitching for reunification, there isn't a solution, and there never was, so it will never be over. We'll just limp on in unfinished Brexit limbo forever.

I rent cars here quite a lot. I currently have something longer term with Fatboy's, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063966303820 but I also had a good experience with http://www.bangkokrentacar.com My first choice for a weekly rental https://www.chiccarrent.com Chic are more expensive but they usually have good offers in the first few days of the month https://www.bizcarrental.com/ were recommended to me, but I haven't used them yet

Gamma Exotic will, but they've moved the clinic out from On Nut towards Nong Bon. I think Sukhumvit Veterinarians on Sukh 51 does as well. But as was already said, they will want a medical history with the animal first.

You may well be right. I didn't even know water monitors use euphemisms.

"Kittisak, 39, said he was minding his own business..." The water monitor is probably telling its mates the same thing.

I use a UK number, but as I say, I've never spoken to anyone. I've only ever used the chat. It wouldn't matter if you got disconnected because you can send messages asynchronously as well.

I primarily use it to transfer money earned overseas into the UK, so I bring in several thousand pounds a month. (The payment is transferred in GBP but the Co-op still charged an overseas payment fee. Starling don't). Then I send smaller payments out to other UK accounts and sometimes to Wise After about 6 months of doing this I triggered a money laundering security check. They messaged me asking about the money, I sent a copy of my work contract, and I've not had a problem since. I've never called them. I'm not sure they even have a call center. It's all done through their secure messaging in the he app I've never transferred more than about £10k in or out in one transaction. But the domestic transfer limit is £25k per day. If you are concerned about triggering a security check, I'd suggest contacting them shortly before the payment is due and asking if they need any additional documentation. They are still subject to the same money laundering regulations as any other UK bank, so if they are checks that have to be done, it's going to be a similar process whoever you bank with.

I opened a Starling account in the UK a couple of years ago while I was overseas. Then I opened one for my husband this year while we were in Thailand. It was a bit trickier last time because I couldn't download the app directly. I had to use a VPN I think, or APK pure, something like that, to download it. But aside from that, it was very easy. I needed a UK address to receive the debit card. Starling's customer service has been excellent. Far better than the Co-op or HSBC, which we also use.
