Well, I've got a PDF receipt from Transferwise and a copy of a bank payment to them from a Danish account and will try again tomorrow, hoping for another immigration agent. I'll try to get this confirmation from Bangkok Bank downstairs at Chaengwattana while I'm waiting for my turn and will keep you updated.

OK, thanks. Looks like I'd better go for something easier. Thanks for the heads-up about the police report. I'd forgotten about that. I'll also need the medical then won't I?

Excellent. Thanks for that. Sounds like a good plan. Any experience of the Thai consulate in Chengdu, since I was planning on being there in August?

Unfortunately, they said they can't do anything as it's technically a domestic transfer.

Well, assuming you're not colour blind anyway. If you are, you'll have a problem, since this is one of the things that actually are tested above what you normally see in Europe.
