Have to agree with everyone else unfortunately. For whatever reason she is flagged on the system here and that’s an end to it.

The thing is as people are saying she was trying to play clever and get around the system and let’s be honest that’s not right, regardless of how many people do it doesn’t make it right so you’re kind of between a rock and a hard place I’m afraid

If you’re leaving from bkk they don’t but depends where you go to for example KL absolutely do weigh and make you check it in. However it is the most stupid system ever in KL as they weigh it on the scale as you go through and both myself and my colleague were over so we literally in front of them opened the small cases and put things like shoes back on instead of flip flops and our suit jackets on over T-shirt and shorts and I also rammed another shoe into my laptop bag she then weighed the case again and it was under so went through then literally put everything back in, an absolute joke but they just want you to check it in and pay more .. And if you’re concerned then just take more and check it in like everyone else

@Julie *****

no problem it can be a minefield I know lol

It’s ok if you want dm me I’ll look into for you. I’m a U.K. financial advisor who lives and works here in Bangkok

@Julie *****

yes but the costs on which provider you choose vary depending what type of policy you require. A cheap one or an international comprehensive one etc

Julie it depends on a lot of factors including your budget and the type you want.

Allianz are good company absolutely

Hi Marvin different people will recommend different banks etc and also here even different branches of the same bank will say yes or no

If you’re in Bangkok and wanting to open a bkk bank account I would suggest you go to the corporate main branch in Silom

Go in and go to the left and at the end turn right

I opened mine there few years ago never had an issue ever

And I’m from banking and financial services
