I have used my Barclays, Jersey account many times to transfer funds to Wise for onward transfers to my Thai bank account. No charges from Barclays.

A bit more detail in this Daily Mail article. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11788797/UK-police-jet-Thailand-expat-teacher-Thai-wifes-body-found.html

During the covid travel restrictions of early 2021 I used Key Visa to renew my UK passport. Cost was B5,000 not including the charge for a new passport for which I paid via the Credit Card form. At that time it took 7 weeks. All worked out just fine. With the Key Visa owner having sadly passed away a few weeks back not sure how that has affected their operations.

This is a recent video from a UK YTuber based in Thailand. He had a CC fraud issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzfwM3Sg13E

Not such a secret as reported earlier on AN. Not difficult to find this article plus a number of others. . https://aseannow.com/topic/1090678-lady-of-the-hills-british-husband-could-face-prosecution-for-crime-committed-abroad/

Received pp photos at the Kodak shop on Soi Nern Plub Wan in East Pattaya, opposite the fuel station. That was 3/4 years back but believe it is still in operation. Can't recall price., but don't believe expensive.

Some info here but may not be up to date, both for locations and cost. https://aseannow.com/topic/1283190-covid-vaccine-available-in-pattaya/#comment-17835495

Teams might be an option.

Sri Lanka?

Thanks for the heads-up. Have been using DF for quite some time and found the coverage to be excellent. Only issue had been when popular games had caused it to hit it's viewing capacity. But that has been fairly rare. I also downloaded their app a few months back and that has also been blocked. Oh well, maybe they will sort out a 'fix'. Failing that I may have to fork out a few bawbees on the True EPL option, or an IPTV alternative or a streaming service such as Bert has kindly suggested.

Does the insurance value include the value of the land?

Received the PEA bill for January (23rd) a couple of days back. The FT rate remained at 0.9343, being same as that of last month. Was expecting the increase as noted in the previous posts. Maybe next month?

Maybe give BTV a try if it services your area?

The recent posts on this this long topic will give you the latest info. Next month may be a possible restart. https://aseannow.com/topic/1256433-seahorse-ferry/

Had DHF about 10 years back and spent 5 days in a Pattaya hospital. Recovered fairly quickly and was able to travel to Cairo for work after about a week with no issues. Then another bout last month, just before Christmas. No real advance warning - just a mild headache. But next morning I collapsed at home and literally couldn't even crawl back to my bed. Recovered a bit and, luckily, my wife was around and she arranged for me to be driven to the hospital. Was there for 4 days. Still feeling the effects now, 3 weeks later, with painful wrists/fingers, neck and back. No way I could travel like previously. Maybe just age related (70ish) or the effects of a 2nd bout. Either way, not too pleasant.

Pattaya City Hospital offer Pfizer every Friday from 9am to 12noon. No preregistration needed and free.

I delayed renewing my son's UK passport (by about 2/3 years) until he was eligible for a 10 year passport. He had a valid Thai passport and the fact his previous UK passport had expired was not a problem when the 10 year passport was applied for. This was about 8 years ago but don't see any recent changes that would impact on a similar decision now.

My recent experience of online 90 report at Jomtien is: 30Dec22 - notification that next appointment is due on 15Jan23 03Jan23 (13.50) - confirmation of receipt of application 04Jan23 (10.38) - application has been approved email Looks good with no apparent delay in processing.

Well, you do seem to be rather confused. Maybe it's you who is dreaming. My A21s with spec as noted is doing just fine. Some posters seem to think they know more than they actually do............might be an idea to quit while you are behind.

Been using it for 2 years. Or am i dreaming?

I bought a Samsung A21s (Ram 6gb / Rom 64gb) with 5G about 2 years back for Bt5,380. Superiphone on Lazada. May be a bit dated but still 100% happy with it.

Could this be the one? https://aseannow.com/topic/1001829-what-to-do-when-an-ex-pat-dies-in-thailand/

Renewed my UK passport in March 2021, two actually and both were 'live' at the time. Downsized to only one at that time. Both old ones had the corner snipped. Seems that YMMV!!

I would guess that some of the local underground lottery guys would have been wiped out unless they were able to hedge these with some of the major national players who can better balance their books. But likely a good few who kept the stakes thinking they were in for a killing. Look for the houses with angry mobs outside............

Would be good to get more detail on these recent transfers. I arranged a UK bank to Wise to SCB transfer on Thirsday 15th with 'general expenses' as a reason. This was at 7pm Thai time. Took 4 seconds. On 30th Nov I arranged my retirement extension transfer, UK bank to Wise to BBank, with 'Funds for long term stay in Thailand' as reason. Arrived 2pm on 1st December as FTT. No delays.
