Sounds like something a condo receptionist or security guard could be trusted to do, for a small fee.

Pattaya Wind Turbine Project Abandoned; New Landmark Proposed
chickenslegs replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The project achieved its only objective. 95MB of public money was shared proportionately according to rank and position. -
My daughter (12) was there on a school "camping" trip a short while ago. She was in a girl's dorm with about 50 others. They had a great time. BTW - I'm not recommending this for Georgie.

Does anyone know about tents in Thailand

Your local Wat probably has some more substantial gazebos for their events. Ours rents them out too. Maybe you could ask where they got them. -

Although I opened my Wise account with a Thailand address, Wise is registered in the UK, so there is no Swift transfer involved. I believe the transfer from my pension providers to Wise is by Faster Payment Service (FPS). My pensions are paid directly into my Wise account. There are no fees. Credit union transfers require me to send a request for funds then wait for their next banking session. No fees. My credit union will also send money directly to my Bangkok Bank account, using Swift, but that is even slower and more expensive than Wise. I am hoping Wise will provide a debit card for Thailand. At the moment, if I want to pay for air fares etc., I need to transfer money into Thailand then pay with my Thai bank cards. Losing money in fees and exchange rates.

My UK bank (Barclays) closed my accounts because I am not a UK resident. I use Wise to receive my pensions. I can also send money to Wise from my Credit Union savings account, but that takes a few days (due to the credit union banking arrangements). I use the monthly income method for my annual extensions, and it takes 1-4 days for the money to get from Wise to my Bangkok Bank account - this is because I asked wise to tag my account to ensure the transfer is always shown as International. However, if I want to send money quickly, I send it to my wife's Wise account and she does the transfer - which is always instant. When I use Wise to pay for goods/services that is always instant too. AFAIK, it is not possible to send THB to Wise.

Thai woman arrested in Bangkok for pimping out girls aged 14-16
chickenslegs replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
IMO - everyone except the naive young teens, who were likely cajoled into the trade by family and pimps. But, especially, the pimps and their customers who want to have sex with children. Disgusting animals! -

I haven't paid direct to a hospital, but I pay my car insurance, health insurance, wine orders and a couple of other things by direct transfer from Wise. You can quote a reference number with the transfer, then send an email to the recipient with payment reference details from Wise. Click on "share with recipient" then copy it into the email. It's really not much different than sending a direct payment from your Thai bank, just a couple of extra steps. Maybe forewarn the hospital that you will pay this way.
