LoeiI

Tried quite a few banks first off was told Bangkok bank were quite amenable no joy, even the pink bank and the purple bank (both of which the Mrs had an account with) they wanted all sorts from granny's maiden name to granddad's inside leg I finally tried KBank (Loei) they couldn't have been more helpful just needed my passport I have heard it sometimes depends on the branch etc but as i said they were really helpful Anyway good luck

Hi all My daughter works for a UK bank and has recently sent money to my Kbank account in 2 different ways the first as Thai baht which took 3 days and comes up as a Bahtnet deposit automatic transfer on my Kbank app, the second was sent as a sterling transaction which arrived in 1 day and comes up as a Trade Finance deposit on the Kbank app does anyone know if these terms signify a deposit from an overseas source as required for visa extensions ? not sure about the charges incurred with the transactions only that i wasn't charged by the UK bank. Thanks in advance for any help

Yeah I'm over 60 and type 2 with high bp so my prescriptions are free in the UK but i need insulin which i would have to return home for or get here in Thailand just trying to get all the info i can especially as Thailand is now on the UK Red list, did you get your meds at the pharmacy or the hospital ?

Thanks for that, I meant that sending from the UK using special delivery would stop being special when it arrived at Bangkok and would therefor revert to ordinary post, I might try and price up DHL or another courier I am assuming if I can get the meds i need in Thailand they would be FDA approved ?

Is it legal / advisable to get medication (Tablets) sent from the UK ? if it was sent by special delivery from the UK would it be sent on from Bangkok to my home address by ordinary post ?
