- thank you for your information, I didn't realise it was going to take that long so I had better get on with it, when you say 4-5 weeks this is from the appointment date in Bangkok I presume?
I was hoping not to have to travel all that way again so I'll speak to them to see if they have a secure postal service or courier. 🙏🏼
- not my experience I've found everything that I normally take considerably cheaper...which doesn't surprise me at all because big pharma rips everyone off in the west.
Most things are available at a fraction of the cost versus the west from the local pharmacy.
Make sure you learn how to drill down the prices because they always try to upsale to either a brand name or just a higher price... eventually if you persevere you get the Thai brand at the lowest price that's the exact same thing!
Starling Bank and Kroo... open before you leave and declare that you are in the UK.
I find the online app type accounts the best to use. If you are going to use Wise make sure you set everything up before you leave and transfer money between the accounts...also don't forget most of the time you need OTP codes sent to a UK mobile number. I use an excellent online account and app that gives me a UK number for peanuts 👌🏼
