  1. Indeed since last month this has been the case - taking at least 5 workdays to send money or fund Wise account for pull from bank (at least at the 2-3k level). They advise will take longer than normal and can try to direct contact bank from their website but no guarantee will help and no explanation on what this would require (perhaps losing all access?). From second post above seems an ACH issue - would be interested if anyone took up Wise to reset financial path and what that involved. If requires a us phone SMS ability likely not viable for many users.
  2. You posted to a year old thread.
  3. Sorry but you are very wrong in the case of USD. Due to fees being based on amount exchanged the exchange rate advantage is lost when sending large amounts from USA due to SWIFT being a fixed rate regardless of amount being sent (or even no fee in some cases).
  4. The same way you could, and still can, have a valid visa in an expired passport. You could not stay beyond passport expiration date but by presenting both passports the full year could be updated and was available without further cost. Believe that changed about 20 or more years ago and since then you only obtain total extension until current passport expiration date.
  5. No harm pushing into bottle. Or using what we expats so often used 55 years ago when faced with such an issue opening local Mosel in Germany.
  6. It depends on your country - if using USD from USA SWIFT will be a better value in high amounts but from EU/UK and suspect OZ seems that WISE maintains an advantage regardless of amount (although not sure if you have to limit each transfer to less than 50k Baht if it would make sense). Just remember if using SWIFT you want to send foreign currency for exchange inside Thailand.
  7. There are no essential minerals in normal water that can not be obtained elsewhere. Bottled water is normally RO water these days.
  8. We are not talking about bug zappers in OP or any other post. OP is chemical killing - some other posts are leading them into air traps.
  9. RO water has no taste - that is the idea - mix with your choice to have the best tasting coffee/tea/drink. But most of us have no issues drinking directly from RO machine or the hundreds of brands of RO water sold in stores.
  10. You are talking single point to provide RO water or some kind of change to entire system? For the single point (which does not cost that much) of most concern is that you make enough and do not have to wait too long to make more.
  11. Just under 1k. And indeed there are fakes for sale - real model has flat bottom - fakes I noticed few years ago had few plastic tab keeping bottom off table if not hung. As for not working - these work very well indeed (and I was a skeptic). This appears to be real unit. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/portoti-pr-25mb-mosquito-pest-killer-led-ver2-led-i174536187-s358395528.html? Edit - checked and bought from above company at 899 Baht in December 2020.
  12. And you want to further poison the air? Can you perhaps get village to do the deed on a one time basis? Once population reset they do not seem to increase quickly. Here in Bangkok used below units and within few days almost none and units easily keep them under control for last few years. The good thing is they seem to only attract mosquitos. Not cheap but nothing to run out and easy to clean. PORTOTI Mosquito Killer PR-25MB
  13. In my opinion the MY LIST available previously was a major factor for making and placing orders - it has not been returned to more than a shadow of before (handful of products with no easy update).
  14. Lotuss is valid alternative with a lot more items for sale - but they do not have a list area or easy mark for next time order (but search seems good). They now seem to have much better stock control than when Tesco however and offer a 3 hour delivery service which is often free.
