Use their chatbot: First type in that you want to chancel a flight, then the booking reference... eventually you will get a response from a real person. But only via chat, not on the phone

I referred to the transfer of a large sum by SWIFT transfer and in THB (not GBP or other foreign currency that will be converted to THB at Bangkok Banks exchange rates)

And the SWIFT instructions state that the receiving Banks fees are borne by the recipient (not the sender)

The best are Singapore Airlines and Emirates. The cheapest...? Use Google flights or Skyscanner to find prices for your travel dates

I heard MOTS is very good and reliable.

But done it myself.

I had the exact same experience in that little office. Thankfully I got my Covid extension granted, but with a 30day under consideration stamp. During this time I'm not allowed to apply for the 90 day non-O - according to the friendly lady in the office behind #7

I'll go try again mid August when the 800k will be seasoned and my Covid extension no longer is under consideration.
