I kept mine and use Wise, but I haven't told them I'm staying here...I kept my uk mobile butbi stopped paying the monthly. Luckily I can still receive sms. Would advise to give those expat phone or 1p phone a Lok. Cos if any probs such as bank fraud that happend to me you'd be in touble as you need codes etc. Sent to the UK phone. And I had to call them as they don't do online calling etc.

that's what I'm doing, but obviously they will find out due to no debit card use in uk and many xfers to Wise!

@Chizel ******

it's happening a lot with uk banks, but by law I think now they gotta give 3 months + notice of closure. See a few post where people have literally had their funds frozen!

U can pick up a basic new phone here for 2000+ bhat £50

@Glen *******

worked for me.....

Space hopper?

Just get a taxi if you have big bags, prob about 400bhat

So how was your first Thai school teaching experience? Ha ha

To be fair I have seen and experienced many similar things in thai schools...

But don't get bitter or it'll never work out.

There are many good things as well obviously - try and find the positives or ur gonna have to leave for sure....

@Graham *****

I know. I'm giving him another option as the 60 day TV has already been mentioned...

Just get exit flight before the 30 day period of non exempt. Then blow out, its only £40
