Re: Retirement Visa Extension and Wise (Transferwise)

More and more eurpeans banks block the payment by card to Wise. It is the case with any french banks who not allowed to transfer money to Wise. Only solution is to open a multi devise bank account in Wise but is is impossible to do with an address in Thaiand !

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

The clusters in restaurant, coffe shop, bakery we see since many days are really worrying. I can see that many people in this kind of shop don't wear masks, Customers or staff . And no social distancing.
