they tend to prefer you use a Thai insurer. That’s why I always just uses AXA Thai

the paving hasn’t taken out the massive steep hills. What’s this guy trying to get at 🤦‍♂️ Granted, I was last there in 2012 and yes, the road was mainly paved. But it’s not safe driving after a full moon party on a scooter. I had my only accident in Thailand, pissed drunk on those hills. My friend and I, (a Canadian) decided to throw slices of baloney at each other, while driving up those hills.

That’s fine. Just don’t attempt it on a scooter as the hills are crazy! There are pick-up trucks that will take you too and from.

ah yes! I recently found out that Bangkok Bank have a branch based in London. That’s a great shout to the OP!

@Todd ********

do the U.K. offer that service? Not that I need it but, U.K. systems aren’t usually as well set up.

UK expat VPN. Works for sky and bbc

@Steve ******

different branches seem to have different rules… It’s a strange how there is no standard here.

@Steve ******

maybe it changed or maybe it’s different for different banks. I’m with Krungsri

@Steve ******

that’s not true at all. I opened in Isaan and got a new card in Chiang Mai.
