Open a Thai bank account for your Wise transfers, and use the bank's ATM card to withdraw funds for free in province or 15thb charge out of province. If you have the K plus app. with Kasikorn bank ATM withdrawals everywhere are free. You can also make purchases and pay bills from your Thai bank account with it, even when abroad.

For years Ive ridden a mbike in my girlfriend's name. No issues when I take it for annual Tax and MOT (manic lol!) or the once or twice Ive been stopped by police who only asked for my licence.

FFS give this man a break, The London embassy website is a mess and not easy to navigate with poor English and conflicting info., especially if you are a newbie. The evisa website is also far from straightforward often demanding non-applicable documents be uploaded before progressing an application. (This requires uploading blank sheets of paper with N/A written on them). I advise anyone applying for a visa to politely email the embassy: asking for the latest info. on their particular visa requirements. They are very helpful and usually reply within a few days with clear concise info. that you can follow and print/download. You then have a record of the info. provided should anything go wrong.

they do not go back and check in your passport for previous overstays. It is standard practice to allow one fine free overstay day. They even make light of it sometimes.

I have had a one day overstay 3 or 4 times over the years. Never been fined. Just a squiggle under the depart stamp. When Covid struck my departing Etihad flight was cancelled so booked with Thai Airways for the same evening. Thai Airways changed the departure time to 3am. Went through immigration after midnight so the bastards fined me 1000thb for a 2 day overstay despite a very recent announcement by Govt. that Covid overstay fines would be waived. Still no red overstay stamp though. Just a small blue box with 2 days and 1000thb and some code in it.

Just arrived in Thailand!...what time my return flight leaves? Troll methinks!

@Steve *******

Dont worry just tell her to tell them that you arrived yesterday or today. My landlord never reports in 24 hrs and always does this. P.S: The fine for her not you would be 2000thb if known to be reporting late.

@Steve *******

....with a TM30.

Change it to Thai baht.

Dont you ever leave a tip?
