  4. £ just bumped up yesterday. If you plan on sending money obviously look at the SCB or Bangkok bank sites. The cash rate at say the TT exchange places normally looks a tiny bit better, and the bank takes B500 off me as well.

  8. I only have the 'TT' rate off the SCB site showing 43.5 baht/£, date 23/04/2013 as my minimum, but I wasn't in the habit of recording it daily. It soon started to recover from that. A little more 'action' in the UK might move it back up. Coincidentally, looking at Biz Class airfares on Emirates ex Manchester yesterday shows they have gone down in £! Low season I know but I thought less than last year.
  9. Yes it sure is! And Butch had a point too.
  10. Perhaps I should sell my Thai house and take the profit in £ terms and go live back in the UK? ......No I don't think so. According to my graph, back below 45/£ today.... that is nearly as low as it got in April 2013. That one was caused by the EU/Euro crisis. It isn't recovering any-time soon, but, during my recent trip to UK very little was being mentioned of this and family members were still going off on overseas holidays despite the weak £.
  11. That said, I was there yesterday and was looking back across the street from Fra Pattaya, and thinking my ancient memory of the place was of it being closer to Beach Rd. Did it ever move a few shop-houses East?
  12. Better weather lately, cloudier, cooler with nightime thunderstorms.

  18. It was a business class ticket. I just tried to use the old Expedia link to the terms and conditions and it doesn't seem to work! The T&Cs I did locate say Full Refund permitted for the reason I have. The bloody taxes should be refundable at least. Hundreds of pounds there!

  20. I have talked to Finn Air while I was in the UK, they point at Expedia who I booked the ticket through. Also Expedia UK always say I have to deal with Expedia Thailand, as if it is a completely different company. Also I am in Thailand at the moment and that is where I live. I admire your perseverance wrt your claim though.

  22. A relieving thunderstorm last night. It has been a bit like 'hot season' lately.

  23. Yes I guess so, doesn't seem to be happening too quickly.
