What are the current COVID-19 entry requirements for traveling from Thailand to the UK and Australia?

Mark ******

The way I understand the answers so far, if I have had 3 jabs here in the Land of Smiles (I have), I won't need a test before flying out (I will be flying to Australia). Is that correct?

Kanchanaburi - see the Death Railway and the war cemetery. This is where the movie Bridge on the River Kwai was based.

What issues might arise when transferring money from a UK building society account to a Thai bank?

Mark ******

@Neil ********

ahh, that might explain why Immigration wanted me to change my “retirement fund account” from Kasikorn to Bangkok Bank when I renewed my Retirement visa in December. I’ve used Kasikorn for the past few years (on their recommendation), but suddenly this year they wanted it changed.

@Tony ********

Ahh, OK. I've also transferred amounts like that in the past, I thought this THB 50,000 was a new thing. Maybe I read it wrong.

@Tony ********

Thanks for that info. I asked because I read somewhere recently (and I may have misconstrued the article) that Thai banks were now accepting a maximum of THB50,000 per incoming transaction. I believe it was something to do with combatting money laundering.

What are the best places to visit in Thailand and do Australians need an e-visa or visa on arrival?

Mark ******

Kanchanaburi (the movie Bridge on the River Kwai was based on events there) is fascinating - the Death Railway, war museum and war cemetery are tourist attractions. It’s worth a visit.
