Our passports were stamped on entry to Thailand (Phuket) and again on exit today.

There were no e-gates though.

I received THB 43.8795 on Friday using my Starling card at an ATM.

(with a THB 200 fee for withdrawals)

it may depend on battery type / watt hour rating, but certainly with British Airways they say

“In checked baggage

Devices with batteries installed can travel in checked baggage and must be protected from accidental activation.

The device must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode).

Spare batteries are forbidden in checked baggage.”

In our suitcase hold luggage always.

I didn’t even know that they used 6 digit PINs in Thailand, but we have always used our UK debit cards with 4 digit PINs there no problem.

@Darren ******

thank you and well spotted Brandon 🤗

that is a concern, so perhaps surprising that Thai immigration are stamping passports for 45 days before published there?

Great news.

I asked for confirmation that this is official as of 1st October from the Royal Thai Embassy in London, but still await a response.
