@Stuart **********

thanks Stuart, yeah that was the point of the question. I’ve seen the charge for converting in Wise. But didn’t know what rate the bank would convert it at and or charge for the transfer. I can always just ask them once I open the account for clarity, but the knowledge of the group is always a bonus to have beforehand.

@Brian **********

ah ok, yeah that was what I was thinking, but wasn’t sure if I’d then get a further charge to transfer it. Thought I’d ask the group for their advice. Much obliged to you.

What are the recommended medical facilities in Jomtien for treating GERD-like symptoms?

Tom *********

Go to pharmacy, get some Omeprazole 20 mgs. They’ll help. I have that too, a tablet a day keeps it away.

Also, if drinking alcohol at night, don’t eat anything sweet. The alcohol will ferment the sugar and cause you to reflux. Good luck

What documents are required to extend a 60-day visa to an additional 30 days in Thailand?

Tom *********

I went to Imm at Udon Thani. Just handed over my passport. They did everything else. They filled in various forms that I had to sign, I had to pay the 2 ,000 fee. In and out in 20 minutes. Very easy
