  1. I pay £4 for transfer from the UK, plus exchange commission in the Thai bank. I make about 1 money transfer a year, unless more is needed. It suits my needs of moving money about. Do UK pension pay the bank exchange charges in Thailand ?
  2. For more flexibility on your payments, i use HSBC to transfer money when needed and when exchange rates are good. Or you can setup regular payments to the Thai bank account of your choice, which you can change online to suit your needs. But the most important thing for me is to make sure that any monies sent, should be in £ sterling.
  3. You can get a job at an airport in less than 1 week. But it takes about 2 months or more to obtain security clearance to work at an airport. If there was a terrorist attack at an airport or on board an aircraft, without proper checks. Then everyone would be saying how can this happen, I would rather have a delay and be safe...
  4. It would have been better to watch the game in a gogo bar, 7,000 baht what a night you could have....
  5. They can put in as many drainage pipes as they like, the end result is the same.... NO beach. ????‍♂️ When it rains the drainage pipes are full before it gets to Soi Bukaow, so the water is coming up from the drains. The amount of rain that falls can't be contained in pipes underground, it is just impossible. All that will happen when big pipes are installed, is flooding will be moved to another area.
  6. There has been changes to the Government system, as i used post office app to verify my ID so i could access the Gov website. But now i have to sign in direct to the Gov website, as post office no longer offer this service. so this would have needed some changes to their system.
  7. Check your message memory on your mobile phone, if it is full you will not receive any new messages until you delete a few old messages.
  8. It looks like the TM6 could be replaced by Thai pass, maybe under another name just to confuse the issue. The TM6 is out dated and a nightmare to fill in after a long flight and a few beers. All the information from the passenger can be given online before the flight, doing the same job as immigration do on your arrival.
  9. And it would not surprise me that the date collection will only be for foreign people. As Thai people have become immune to covid 19, due to not requiring a Thailand pass.
  10. I remember in England when pub's shut at 14:00 on a Sunday. we would all move to the restaurant buying a basket of chips every 2 hours until 19;00 when the bar opens. ????
  11. The results to the covid 19 test can be handed to any official on entry, in a brown envelope... nudge nudge, wink wink. you know what i mean.
  12. When i had my second AZ vaccine in Thailand, i was given a vaccination certificate which would allow me to travel to different provinces in Thailand. But was told if i was going to travel out of Thailand, i could apply for a vaccine passport, in my case Khon Kaen hospital.
  13. but you would not be able to leave the hotel until you have your PCR result The PCR test has to be processed in a laboratory, it is the lateral flow test that can be used at point of care
  14. What could create a bigger problem, could be the back log of PCR test results in Thailand. A PCR test is required on arrival at Bangkok airport, and the mandatory 1 day quarantine in a Thai hotel could become 2 or 3 days, depending on how many PCR tests they can process per day. You would not be allowed to leave the hotel until you have your test result
  15. As we are approaching pantomime season................. It's behind you
  16. I think the only good coming out of this, the longer it goes on the stronger the Pound will be. More baht to the pound.
  17. If "Monty python's" had done a sketch about quarantine, this would have been it....
  18. I live 25 Km to the west of Nong Bua Lam Phu. So about 138 Km drive to the vaccination centre in KhonKaen I just got back from KhonKaen after having my first AZ vaccination, and was told to go back on the 22nd October for my second AZ jab. Excellent service, in had the jab and 20 min rest and out in 40 mins. And the car parking in central shopping mall was free as well
  19. I will be going to KhonKaen tomorrow (21st) for my AstraZeneca jab. Which will be my first jab, so i will find out what is on offer for the second jab.
  20. Sorry, i was referring to when Pattaya resort opens again. "Operation dirt box" ????
  21. So it will be no big trees to shade under = Less tourist's No big tree root system to retain the sand = More of the beach to migrate to the sea No big trees for the rats to live in = will be looking for new accommodations
