  1. Easiest way:

    Open Kasikorn Bank account (best in a tourism area, where they are used to us aliens) with internet banking.

    Than register the Web shopping card (or similar named).

    There you get a virtuell Visa that works well.

    But attention Paypal makes problems if for example: you sell something for 500 USD. and 2 days later you take out say 300 USD, because they are afraid to loose money in case the buyer fills a complain.

    I did it this way too. Pretty straightforward to do.

    So far I didn't have problems with withdrawing money, but they keep asking me if I'm an American citizen and subjected to American tax law. After answering no for the 5th time, I'm getting pissed off now.

    If you sell something, they'll take about 4.5% of the transferred money.

    Paypal are a very incompetent lot.

    Any other good way to protect buyer and seller ?

  3. I do hope they do better than the last "Legend" they had in Thailand---(Captain Marvel) Bryan Robson who ITV caught on hidden camera--Doing some very questionable things-- while running a bar in BKK.

    Any use to film someone in private time with a hidden camera ? In 25 years making news and documentary I never had did things like this. You not even show a avatar in your profile and then shoot people with a hidden camera; not very ethical.

  4. Very tragic and a crazy way to drive. I not understand why people drive like this. I also not know what this guy used to drive back home. I think rental places should checkout to who they rent. Wonder also if wearing protection would have saved him reading about high speed makes it already tricky You see it when you read about the Malaysian guy who was wearing a helmet.

    R.I.P.

  5. I buy a lot on eBay and often USA sellers are willing to ship if you ask them is my experience. A simple friendly PM to a seller often results in no problem where the seller stated not to ship to Thailand. You always can give it a try.

  6. Let's stick to the official festival days and it will be fun again. Now you never know what will happen and some moron will decide that the date is any day he likes to be drunk and have a bucket of water on hand..............
