it's not rap, it's hip-hop ????

Will be inside or outside? If the latter then don't forget to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap ???? Enjoy.

Nah I think that's Rooster winding us up.

The crazy man, I mean genius came up with it himself apparently. It's only a tax dodge if he sells and realises the capital loss. I doubt he'll do that as his reputation, such as it is, is one the line here. Plus he's not the sole owner, there are some other parties involved to the tune of $billions and I expect they'll want him to make good on his promise to turn Twitter around. He also wants to use Twitter as his personal mouthpiece so he can spout off whatever crazy thought comes into his head ????

I have fond memories of Lotus 1-2-3. The thrill we got when they released the WYSIWYG version. Print preview changed my life! ????

I didn't know that, had to look it up. Thanks for enlightening me. I also didn't know it originated in Victorian-era England. I grew up in a backwater and we didn't get taught these things.

Maneerat in Soi Post in Patts do extensions for B12.5k*. That's the lowest I've heard of on here for the Full Monty. I'm happy with them and will continue using them unless someone can convince me otherwise ???? * there may be extra fees for the bank. B4,700 to open a BBL a/c at the preferred branch or B1,600 if you have an out-of-province BBL a/c.

Update, and a bit of CYA on my part: The Thai venture capital firm that agreed to buy out Zipmex have just failed to make a down-payment of a few mil USD. So best to avoid them just in case they freeze withdrawals just as you're about to transfer your preciousss to cold storage.

I just found out you can get a Virtual Debit Card from Bangkok Bank. Pair that with Cardless Cash and you'll never need to take your passport out of your safe ever again ????

Nah, just a young bull flexing ????

Not a real game, mate that's a bit harsh. It's not as tough as you poor young-uns have it but it's not Tiddlywinks. You'll probably have to Google that expression ????

my understanding is that short-term rentals are 'legal' if the dwelling has four rooms or less, eg. a house or a villa. in that case the property owner can apply for an exemption under the Hotels Act. this somewhat convoluted article attempts to explain it. other articles I've read say much the same and they all seem to waffle on like this one. bullet points would be simpler. https://www.thethailandlife.com/airbnb-thailand

Medicare bulk bilking was introduced by Hawkey in 1984 so all Aussies should know about it. Or are you referring to the shoddy medical centres that the OP was (rightly) complaining about?

I'm talking about agents mate, that's the 'game' I'm referring to. For a lot of over-50s dudes it's the only way to stay here so they do in fact need to game the system.

Lots of over 50s game the system. Some need to and others make a choice. Leaving 800k festering in a Thai bank at a low interest rate for 20 or 30 years is anathema to some people.

I made one quick post in reply to a chap who mentioned that lack of passport could be an issue with lost ATM card. Perhaps he doesn't know about Cardless Cash yet, or like me totally ignored it until I found out how awesome it is. I'm providing him and other readers with useful, practical information that wasn't too wordy and certainly hasn't derailed the thread like you're suggesting. If my post is so objectionable then report it to the mods ????

I really don't understand your wilful ignorance. kthxbye.

Me. But unlike the moaners and the sad-facers I actually bothered to get off my a*se and learn something today ????

Thanks for the extra detail that wasn't included in previous posts. Or I missed it LOL. I guess BBL are at war with the PEA. OP should get the BBL app anyway, you gotta keep up with the times.

the OP just wants to pay his electricity bill. apparently the PEA bills have a QR code (dunno, I'm MEA) so easiest thing for him to do is get the BBL app. It's not complicated at all, login to the app, press Scan and hold it over the QR code and hey presto! Banking with BBL and not use the Bualuang app is cutting your nose off to spite your face.

what a carry on! why bother when you can just install and use the Bualuang mBanking app if you're a BBL customer?

Easy tiger, I a just letting the guy know about Cardless Cash. Some people are unaware of it's existence let alone it's usefulness. A la a buddy of mine who had his BBL card swallowed by a Krungsri ATM and was all at sea until I showed him got to use the new option.

Losing an ATM card is no biggie these days now that they've got Cardless Cash.

Ah gotcha, you were being snarky. I overlook little stuff like that when I'm focusing on actually trying to help the OP. OP 's probably too worried about his liver to have picked up on it either. But hey, 10/10 for your pettiness.

met a guy a few months ago that got the cancer from that. nasty business.
