As you can see, XE uses the zero fee with lower rate method. Some like it or fall for it. I don't. BUT I admit that the comparison shows (almost) cheapest transfer for WISE while XE has same result for all payment methods. Credit card payment is not recommended with WISE but with XE you are quick and flexible (no lengthy bank transfers etc.). For now I will stay with WISE.

Just did a simple comparison of XE vs WISE for MY typical transfer of 2000 EUR. Taken screenshot same minute (in German but numbers are numbers). And here WISE is still winning with a small difference. And with the method that I use (transfer via a WISE account) I get some xx Baht more than shown. 13,49 EUR is the fee that WISE deducts from the EUR amount.

When I refer to flights Phuket to Penang I mean direct/nonstop flights. Not the three daily flights with Thaismile via Bangkok for 9740 Baht oneway! Seven hours travel time.

I don't know and never heard. In Khon Kaen there is an intersection with a camera sign that warns two wheelers of red light jumping (24h) and cameras hanging that could video from behind.

You have to understand that there is a highway police which operates outside the communities on open terrain. They have cameras that can take speed (whatever method used). These tickets will always come via postal mail with the photo, speed, location etc. The roadside stops are usually near a local police station. They take measurements just before you approach town. Not effective? I was stunned that the officer showed me my offense with picture and everything on his mobile. Then you have to pay at the roadside station/tent whatever. Get a receipt and with many smiles drive off. But local police can also have cameras at intersections to catch red light violations. These tickets also come with postal mail but from local police. I don't know whether payment has been streamlined in the meantime. Highway tickets scanned with the online banking, push, push, done. And of course: endless camera signs as hollow threats. Non functional. You never know.

Military vehicle still have Thai numerals and script only. And the military is completely independent of the civil (DLT) registration. They do their own thing and rules. Red lights seem to mean nothing to them.

Yes PEN seems unrealistic. No daily flight. Maybe 3 a week or so. Afternoon with "Firefly"(?) airlines. KUL daily 8:45 with AirAsia (arrive 11:15), return 18:50 (arrive 19:20).

My guess: they will hurt the gasoline/gasohol customers with even higher contributions to the oil fund. So if you drive a car/limousine you pay for the stinking smoke belcher in front of you. I would accept that farmers/businesses who depend on pickups and trucks are supported. But it's hard to swallow that all the promenade posers who clog the park decks of Central etc. with their bulky pickups are subsidized. The buying tax advantage for "pickups" (2.5 door/king cabs included) is an absurd mislead policy.

And it might well be that all pumps deliver B7 which is suited for all Diesel engines here. You might remember the "oil crisis" triggered by Indonesia cutting all palm oil exports. As far as I know this is the reason why they don't want high palm oil contents.

Fiber optic cables cut in pieces, bent? Too much for them to realize that the stuff might be completely worthless, simply damaged. Not like copper or aluminum that can be melted and reused.

I was answering to the question about return (eastward) and that IS 13:05 by schedule. Not sure what your excitement is.

As a general rule for such a motorway. But as mentioned, all along motorway #7 there are electronic signs that set max speed per lane. I seen 120 - 100 - 80 - ?

And with the stupid design they are so small and hard to capture. And some frames that you can buy will hide them! The number plate system here is just a stupid mess. In the meantime the Bangkok plates have reached a digit "9" prefix before the Thai letters. What will be the next provisional hack to overcome the exhausted number space? "10"?

No.

“If they think they did nothing wrong, they can go to investigators or on-duty traffic police officers with the tickets and issue a denial,” Deputy Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Maj-General Jirapat Phumjit said." https://www.nationthailand.comhttps//www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30334161

You got it by postal mail. So it's likely a highway police ticket? Not sure whether you get advice at the next highway police station. Local police doesn't care about these tickets (as far as I know).

It's not so long that I learned what "a Karen" means in US colloquial language. That the Karen are a hill tribe was in the news often enough ????

Unlikely that he will. And the finger can cost your health or life. Same reason the racers won't flash. They don't know that you are a farang and have no caliber 0.38 at hand.

And motorway can be quite stressful if you follow any keep left rules. You will be passed on the right, you will be passed on the left. Lane change is an adventure. Do like the pros: rightmost lane, 120. Don't care about approaching Ferraris. They will zigzag their fast track somehow.

I don't hold more than one months pension on the WISE account for some days hoping to hit a rate peak. And there would also be options to transfer without using a WISE account.

Not that many here but still a plague. I push the green button on unknown numbers but don't speak. Wait what happens and then drop. Rarely a Thai guy who dialled the wrong number

It's 13:05 by schedule. Reporting is still bad by using the number for the return flight. 787-9 not everyone's dreamliner

That should not work. Picture is taken from camera at the office and printed on the license. No paper photo produced.

I stopped reading through the story halfway. How much more stupid can a person act and then expect that a bank or fintech to compensate. Read the story before throwing accusations to Revolut. And adding unrelated WISE to the title is just arbitrary. In Thailand it would cost you a big fat defamation charge. Naive uneducated people should keep away from internet banking and enjoy cat videos on YouTube. Dog videos in her case.

Absolutely Apple. Site refers to "apple-mapkit.com" and "apple.com". And indeed much better than the satellite views on Google. Also for our village. On the other hand: quality of images depends on the area. Google seems to pay more for popular areas and have stunning images there. For San Francisco you might recognize the model of parked cars (at least pickup vs. limo etc.). Is it really satellite?
