What are the options for UK expats in Thailand facing banking issues with HSBC?

Dave *********

I already use Wise for transfers but it was more the convenience of being able to speak to a person in country rather than having to call the UK to sort out any issues eg locked out of account etc through a linked expat account with my existing account. Given the shocking way HSBC have advised me I'd love to bin them completely although that would be a lot of hassle...

Is it true that in Thailand's Sandbox model, if one passenger tests positive for COVID-19, the entire flight is quarantined?

Dave *********

@Benjamin *****

Not sure that's correct. Certainly the woman interviewed on the Thaiger wasn't part of that group, she just happened to sit next to/near a guy in a family group that tested positive.
