Thank you for your reply. No, I need the 90 day Non-O visa to open a bank account. I’m in Thailand on a tourist visa. These visas are normally obtained before leaving your country of origin but I know that they are available for people already in Thailand. I’ve been travelling for a year now and don’t really want to go back to the U.K. just for a visa.

What’s going on with the tiny leg on the table? Is he a contortionist or is there a missing child somewhere.

eSIM work very well. I have my UK eSIM and started in Thailand with physical DTAC SIM but will convert that to eSIM soon. Keep the SIM tray spare just in case.

I’m a keen amateur photographer and want the best glasses, so I opted for Nikon lenses and some rather expensive German frames. Add to this that I needed varifocals so I paid a record amount for this pair at KT Optic. I think that if I’d opted for two pairs, one for reading and one for long distance and I wasn’t too bothered about quality then I may have got a cheaper deal than in the U.K.

Bugger, I knew there was something

Use the Laos border, see a bloke called Jimmy, say that Big Jan sent you, bung him a grand, sorted.

I just brought my roller skates, moustache wax and a neon green mankini. Everything seems to be going well so far.
