What are the best and cheapest options to transfer money from the UK to Thailand?

Karim ***************

So do you mean transferring or withdrawing? I’m confused. For withdrawing, go into the Thai bank with your card and passport, no atm fee. If you’re transferring, open Thai bank account and transfer with Wise.

Is it worth reporting a lost phone in a taxi in Pattaya?

Karim ***************

what phone is it? If it’s an iPhone, log in to his icloud from a web browser on your phone or a computer. You’ll be able to see where the phone is. Other phones have that tracker as well but not all. You can call the phone with that, post a message to the screen with a number for them to call or a place to meet and return the phone.

What should I know about visa requirements and expected costs for a visit to Thailand?

@Mohammed ******

where in Thailand do you want to visit? There are many good videos on YouTube for each area. Agoda and booking .com should be where you are looking for hotel prices.

How easy is it to get a 30-day extension on a 45-day visa exempt in Krabi?

Karim ***************

@Lindsay **********************

for future reference, ask your hotel for a copy of your TM30. This is a document showing proof of where you’re staying, that’s normally required. If you just showed a hotel booking to say, the Phuket office or pretty much any other immigration office, they wouldn’t accept it.

never book flights through anyone but the airline. Then you don’t need to deal with middle men when issues arise.

I have so many stories from my first trip travelling to SE Asia… Considered writing a book about it but I just don’t have the writing skills. Definitely had enough drama and content 😅

Nigel Hall yes it was heart breaking to see so many children begging. I’m not sure when you went through Poi pet but, 10 years ago it was really intense. They weren’t just sitting and begging, mothers were literally trying to hand their children to us and pushing them onto us.
