With covid, it pushed many people to cashless payment. Payment via card or phone is becoming more common the world over, it is also in the interest of the business as banks charge companies for handling cash when paid by the company into their own account. I recall the bank use to charge me for the deposit slip as well as the cash I deposited into the account. I am very happy to accept cashless payments as I save a lot in fees. Also happy to take cash, best to offer all ways to pay.

When faced with a snake especially a viper or cobra, I can assure you they are fast and not that easy to kill from my experience and I would not be using a short handle machete or sickle.

maybe not for you, after watching the many videos about being a youtuber you still do not know if you can use a mobile to make videos for youtube. Heads up you can. Goonzquad are two american brothers who repair cars and they film using iphones, over 2.7m followers just on youtube, and have become millionaires.

No common sense in the USA, 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). From the National Literacy Institute.

True, with the small amount of calls to landlines (banks, Tax man etc) I would not go with Vonage. I have started using Viber and it is very good reception and no problems with the line connection (mobile to landline in the UK).

yes please start on Tesla and musk, then look at the insider trading that happen in the whitehouse yesterday.

Then you do not understand the Chinese economy. Yes China debt is very high but the debt is differant fron the USA. China debt is mostly domestic, banks, local goverments property market and based on the Yuan(china mostly borrows in Yuan) and can be controlled by the goverment decisions are fast unlike usa who have trouble passing budgets. USA debt is dollar based and part of the global system, if yields spike, debt service costs go up, treasury demand drops the dollar slides. Need to look at what the debt is funding as well for both countries. USA debt is war, tax cuts for the rich, stock buybacks and social debt. China is infrastructure, industrial, R&D and property market

Mobland, excellent TV series

Black Bag, excellent spy movie, Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender star in Steven Soderbergh's film

watched the video, he was saying if, if, if, if. He is guessing what may happen and what trump may do. trump changes daily and it is hard to predict what he will do, apart from if you say no to him, disagree with him then he will react against you as he has done with China today with adding another 50% on. China will not back down and with comments from vance "We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture," will not help. China and the USA need each other and there will be alot of pain for both before things settle down.

I went with Viber, as I was calling a bank in the UK I need something to replace Skype. Viber was excellent, good connection from my mobile. I took the Euro 1.97 package for 100minutes, only thing is the 1.97 is a monthly charge which is cheap but I only call landlines (banks, Goverment Tax office etc) around 3 or 4 times a year. You can pause the subscription plan for 3 months and can do that 3 times in a year. I will check out MyTel and also the 003 Asis number but I think it may be a higher price compared to the other apps. Thank you to everyone for their input on the subject, very helpful

Best to place these people who break the law in jail for a while, get the word out that if you make trouble/break the law then to jail you go for a few months. As to reducing the number of tourists to Thailand that will not happen as the country needs every $ they can get for the economy

What part of Thailand are you in? Here in the South there is a local goverment office that teach about Bees to locals. They will come out and remove bees so I suggest if you have a Thai partner they ask at the local goverment office for contact details.

With SKYPE being closed down, what apps do you recommend for calling overseas from Thailand. I need to call banks, Goverment etc
