  1. Very good point, I have a K Bank account already and will send myself a small amount to test the codes and email TW to confirm if the change is permanent or not, but she did say at TW, this is the ongoing system

    Is that of any benefit? They likely have not changed to be always using KBank, and may still transfer via TMB or indeed Bangkok Bank next time.

  2. I've used TW and recommended them on here, but this month's(on the 1st of July) transfer into my Bangkok Bank was interbank via SMART and not the usual ITT.

    I emailed them and got a curt reply, basically this is their system and tough luck, but she did say she hopes I get my visa.

    I do know how they work, doubled checked my PDF receipts and this month is showing K Bank(on page 2)as their Banking partner and not Bangkok Bank as all the previous transactions.

    So I may have to change to K Bank, but I've no idea if this month's bimp will screw my visa ?.

    Worryingly, TW are stilling showing it as pending, but I've already moved it from my BBL account and said their having problems with transferring, that's an understatement !

  3. Either TransferWise or DeeMoney is useless in certain situations. One does not do business in Thailand. Also Ubon Joe mentioned something about only needing to show a few months of deposits to qualify for an extension of stay. This is something that I can't seem to locate in all of the posts that I have printed out. Also, there's the issue someone mentioned of being "stuck" with the visa services if you use one this year. A "sticky" with this information all in one place would be most helpful. I am fighting to stay here, but I can't break my budget. Beginning next year, I would want to have all my income in Bangkok Bank every month or at least the 65 thousand baht required.  Can someone post such a "sticky" to have this info in one place?  I have a stack of print-outs that are just frustrating to sift through. Thanks to those who responded in a civil manner.
    This is from my UK Bank to my Bangkok Bank account each month via Transferwise and as you can see, it clearly states International transfer.

    Hope this helpsScreenshot_20190301-225702_Bualuang%20mBanking.jpeg

  4. I've just used Transferwise for the first time, based on commets on here. Worked very well and took less than a day, got about 1,000b more compared to the usual method (UK Bank fee, then 500b receiving fee here). I have used Bangkok Bank in London before, what is the problem with them now?. I've set up 2 widows pension's to Thailand with them and will that cause any problems?. Thanks

  5. Yeah, seems about the going rate. A 250 too. Canadian import or had a top end change.
    UK prices;
    Scruffy half decent runner £750.
    Good runner, tidy, ready to compete on £1000-1300.
    Rebuilt, with tank/seat shelter, nice bits and mods on it £1500-1700.
    Trick modded ones, great looker, disc brakes all round, late rear wheel rim for tubeless tyre £2k.
    It's why i can't see me selling a 3rd one i build up for spares or repairs for say 13-15k TB, or actually spending money on rebuilding a nice one for 50-60k.
    To me the spares are worth more than 13k, but nobody would want to pay more than that for a non running basket case, and nobody is going to pay me for my time selling a rebuilt nice one for 60k, after i've spent nearly that finishing one...


    I might ! ;-)

  6. I've used Hotspot Shield for years, $20 a year and I use mostly for the UK, but they have about 12 different Counties to beam to Scotty and offer a free 7 day trial(but for the USA only). Good product and customer service(if needed)
