The UK police couldn't find a bright candle in a dark room. About as dim as a TOC H Lamp.

No wish to put a stick in the pot and stir, but one point appears to be missing here, re info from different TRDs. We have all had the experience at different Immigration offices. NO TWO ARE THE SAME, or very rarely! Shouldn't we be treating info from the TRD offices with the same caution?

The Twilight Zone. Imagine if you will... A world where people believe, that the temperature of the planet can be controlled by giving money to the government....

Unfortunately mine didn't. I came away with an assurance, no tax was payable on my UK incomes. However, I was given a form with a T.I.N. I will entrust the filling of said form, to my son to complete the necessary details, to ensure he receives his usual monthly allowance. More than one way of skinning a cat.

Labour do not help the working people, unless they get much more from their very little effort.

Embassy premises are classed as being part of the country they represent, negating your statement.

Sorry, got ahead of myself. make sure the A/C is current.

Okay, so give it a go. If you have the APP you should be able to organize that. Just ensure the card is current.

I personally would go to the local tax office. If you don't speak Thai, then take some you can trust with you. I find them most helpful and obliging. Just make sure you take all your paperwork, which will save a lot of delay.

Apologies, I missed it. There was a charge although rather small, of 59.64 THB. Sorry for the mistake.

With Revolut you can actually close the A/C within the APP.

I didn't make it clear. The transfer was in THB from Revolut not GBP. Maybe that was the reason of no fee??

I was referencing a Revolut card, not a Wise card. As I have no use for a Wise card, I wouldn't know.

If the merchant imposes a 3 - 5% on the use of a card, that is the merchant, not the card issuer.

You may find they wont. Plus, if you don't have a UK address and a UK TEL number, you will miss out. Or do you have family in the UK?

I would challenge you on the last statement. Last month I sent £1000 from my Revolut A/C to my Kasikorn bank on a Sunday. It arrived within one minute and no fee involved. I am of course using UK Revolut A/C, not a USD A/C, so there my be a difference?

I transfer £1000/month to THB on my Revolut card a no charge. I then us this for Thai purchases with no merchant charges. If used in an ATM the usual fees apply.

I will keep using my Revolut card, its cheap enough for me.

Perhaps when my present subscription expires, maybe. But is still good for 9 month yet.

He could purchase the UK. That would give him a few headaches for his term in office.

You could purchase a UK Skype number @£38/year. £10:00 credit allows you to call from anywhere in the world @ approx 1.5p per minute. It also allows any call to your UK number to be transferred to your Mobile, anywhere in the world at the UK local rate and no charge to you. If you make many calls to the UK it works out quite cheap. Also 0800 numbers are free. As they say, up to you.

Now, had it been a Princess! 🤩

So, is the answer, not to use Facebook? I don't use it and it hasn't made one iota of difference to my life.
