Correct. That’s why I specifically asked for a letter to say I was covered by my Thai medical insurance for all that was being requested. Ben needs the same or travel insurance to be able to return.

I have private insurance in Thailand. I got a typed and signed letter from the insurance company informing authorities I was covered for over $10k and corona etc. I understand your concern. You want to make sure you can get back in 👍🏻

Yep Dianne, I know all that. And your point is? 🤔 I follow the rules to the letter.

Dave, I want to do it directly. It would be cheaper. But I get my pension paid into a Spanish bank account quarterly. So I have to do it this way.

Was just about to type the same 👍🏻

Travelled Pattaya - BKK - Hua Hin on Monday. You already have the correct info above. Temp on my bus was 19oC and very comfortable. It’s also still 100thb to get dropped off at your hotel. Checked Grab and it would have been much more.

Everyone wants to send you link. I can send you link also 😂 … commission!

That is a lot. The other good thing with Wise is you have control of when the cash is exchanged into THB. Watch the exchange rate and exchange it into THB when the rate is at its best.

Your Bangkok bank is the one you will have to check. It will be paid into your account in Australian Dollars and they will exchange it into THB. My bank in Spain rip me off by exchanging at 3% less than the spot rate. Might not sound much, but it’s a lot out of your pension. I would also recommend WISE. I am seriously considering having my pension paid in there.

Only 5 now? 👍🏻 People in December were being put away for 10 days 😱
