I previously had a large verruca around 14 years ago. It had been there a couple of years & I tried all the OTC remedies, duct tape etc. Eventually I lost patience and had it surgically cut out at the hospital in Buriram. A deep wound with 7 stitches & quite debilitating for a few days, alongside the inconvenience of going back to the hospital everyday to have it cleaned, antibiotics etc. The bloody thing also returned whilst the scar was still healing! Thank fully, the surgical procedure must have stimulated my immune system, as it was gone within a few of weeks. This verruca appeared around 4 years ago & given my previous experience, I haven’t bothered with the OTC treatments. I rather hoped it would eventually go away but, I’’m losing patience. Not enough to have another verruca surgically removed though. I have had it pared down a couple of times at a local podiatrist here in the UK. They offer the new Swift Verruca Treatment which takes longer, as a lower success rate & isn’t that much cheaper than Laser treatment. I rather had this in mind than cryo. https://thebarnclinic.co.uk/laser/laser-wart-verruca-treatment/ The fact that that the above treatment indicates only 24 hours downtime from sport/swimming is most appealing. The Bangkok Aesthetic Clinic seemingly as the same brand of laser but, no mention of wart/verruca removal.

Any recommendations for having laser treatment on a verruca in Bangkok? Experience & costs would be appreciated.

Update: I received the email receipt confirming payment a couple of hours later.

They’re closed now. I’ll call them tomorrow if the status hasn’t changed. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

I’ve just attempted to submit an application for a Non-Immigrant Visa to the Royal Thai Embassy London. Following the processing of the payment an error appeared at the top. Basically stating that there was a problem with the system, they were working to fix this and to try again later. The application status is showing as Pending Payment & seemingly the system would allow me to click on the payment icon & make another payment. However, on checking my credit card, there’s already a pending transaction showing to Kasikorn Bank. Has anyone else seen this? I’m reluctant to submit a further payment just yet, as who knows how many payments they would take.

So, you think we should still be under some restrictions? From what I see on a daily basis it’s back to business as usual in the UK & very welcome indeed. I’m sat in a bar right now & it’s packed - not a mask in sight. For a bit of balance, I’d add that masks probably should still be compulsory on public transport & in essential stores, after all, the vulnerable don’t get a choice on this. On my days off, I frequently travel into/through Leeds city train station. Just looking around, I’d be surprised if mask wearing was at 15% - it’s really dropped off - I even see Asian students walking around the Leeds university area unmasked & even a couple of months ago, this would have been unthinkable. The majority of people in the United Kingdom appear to have decided that they’re going to get on with living & given the UK government’s obsession with testing, it’s hardly surprising that cases are increasing.

It would seem the error was an issue with the app, as following the latest update, I was able to successfully submit my updated details via Wi-Fi.

I have two Thai bank accounts, ttb & Krungsri & without using mobile data connection from my Thai SIM card, I would have lost complete access to ttb (app & online banking) & when I recently bought my iPhone 13 Pro Max, access to the Krungsri app.

My online banking, both website & apps, were working fine last time I left Thailand. Covid-19 has kept me away & during that time, things have changed, firstly, my iPhone XS Max died & had to replaced, Thanachart merged with TMB bank to become ttb requiring a new banking app, without which, I wouldn’t have been able to gain access to the ttb online banking website & finally, most recently, I bought the new iPhone. On a side note, it’s far simpler to transfer UK banking apps between devices - no need to be in range of UK mobile masts &/or using mobile data from the UK SIM card.

Not at all. However, the banks appear to be pushing customers towards the apps - there are things you can do on the app that aren’t possible on the website e.g. updating personal details. There’s also the not unimportant matter of convenience - Face ID is so much easier.

I could however, I’m still intrigued as to what’s causing the error. I’m inclined to confirm my suspicions that such information can only be sent when using mobile data from the registered phone numbers SIM card. There’s also the matter of the incorrect date of birth. I imagine this was caused on my last visit to the Thanachart branch when she input my new passport details. If I call them to update my other details, I’d feel obliged to mention this, potentially opening a can of worms, that will likely be easier to rectify in a branch. I’ve got another couple of weeks to decide before access is denied.

I know the feeling too well.

Update. Having logged on to the ttb online banking website, I was greeted with a message to update my personal information - via ttb touch app, branch or, contact centre - it cannot be completed via online banking. I’m currently deliberating whether to do this via the contact centre or, purchase the dtac data roaming package.

I have just looked & no, it’s not coded as international but, isn’t this always the case with Krungsri, who aren’t a Wise partner bank? Well that’s true however, based on the original posters comments, isn’t this thread about speed of transfer, rather than meeting immigration requirements?

Wrong.
