It is hard to see if there are adjustable rabbiting bits in that set. For precise countertop/sink installations the diameter of the bearing and the height of the cutting edge both must be adjustable. For that price, I doubt that the precise required bit is included.

Another plus is that SCB raised their maximum balance that will get the 1.5% to 2M ฿ as it was in their original offering. Land and House (L&H) has an account (Pro-Fit) for Thai individuals only that pays 1.5% and I think the maximum for that account is 5M ฿. I think they also have a minimum balance to earn the best interest rate. Both SCB and L&H pay the interest on daily balance so the accounts are quite flexible.

I'm looking for a router bit to cut an acrylic countertop opening for an undermount ceramic sink. The cabinet crew opened the boxes for the sinks and must have tossed out the template that is usually included with the sink. The type of bit I'm looking for has a bearing at the lower end so that the router will trace out the shape of the ceramic sink. Probably @sometimewoodworker will understand immediately what I'm looking for and hopefully knows the Thai name for this type of bit. I did a little further reading and I think what is needed is an adjustable rabbiting bit.

The larger Thai banks all have a website where you can find the rates for term deposits in English.

Those lucky yanks are getting your free and appropriately priced advice!

and you should know that some businesses offer more service or better goods for the same or nearly same price The real question is why are you discussing Schwab's fees/services when you don't actually need them?

Schwab was one of the first discount brokers. Why not investigate rather than postulate?

I am installing acrylic countertops next week. Company's installers are based in Bangkok but they have a CM sales office. They do offer some of the nicer features possible with acrylic. They can make a seamless coved joint between top and backsplash. The just recently decided to import acrylic sinks. Hopefully they will also be able to seamlessly join an acrylic undermount sink to an acrylic countertop. I won't be getting the acrylic sink because my project is too far along to wait the 6 weeks required to import the sink from S. Korea. If you're interested I'll PM you their contact info.

this topic is about fees charged by ATM's when using a foreign debit card.

Exactly this! I noticed how much cheaper it was to rent a car in US if I booked from Thailand several years ago. This was before I lived here. I tried booking one while in Thailand but when I put in my US license info, they boosted the rental charge to what a US resident would pay.

When I tried to call the 410-965-0160 number it was a nigh impossible to get through to a person. SSA did not bother to add the wait-on-hold option to that number, so the only way to get through was: dial... go through the menu... receive the message that all operators are busy....please call back later hang up and repeat until you give up After about 20 sessions I finally reached a person who couldn't actually help with my problem. This result was from mid 2022. On the usual 1-800-772-1213 number, I get to wait on hold for typically an hour. A very helpful sounding person will eventually answer and attempt to do "something" to solve the problem. So far the "something" has not produced any movement towards a solution. For one of my issues it's been over 3 years with absolutely no indication that SSA has heard/read any of my pleas/letters. @Yellowtail Did you call the Overseas number pre-COVID?

FBU Manila seems competent enough to handle the plain vanilla retirement benefit application. However, any time an application requires more complex processing they seem to veer into the ditch and seldom regain control and return to the correct path by themselves. SSA overall has batted .000 on both my wife's and my original applications. Now we both have to hope that our applications to switch benefits don't meet a similar fate. FBU Manila should be up to our upcoming applications because they are both plain vanilla.

I'm not sure of the extent of Boonma's involvement, but when we shipped a container of household goods, they managed the Thai end of transport and customs clearing. The crew they provided for unloading our container in CM was excellent and the lead worker spoke English.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I don't think anyone spoke much English, My son and wife dealt with them. I just got the info from son and am forwarding it to you via PM.

I just moved a 3 bedroom house full of furniture to a new home in CM on June 29. The mover showed up with 4 guys and a big box truck with a lift on the back end. They arrived about 9:30AM and finished about 4:30PM with one truck load. They were mostly reasonable careful, but TIT..... No major bangs or bruises. Almost all of the stuff was already packed. However they did wrap a several pieces in stretch plastic wrap to keep it clean or prevent the drawers or doors from opening. So you get some idea we moved: 2 bedroom sets of dresser + 2 nightstands 1 china cabinet 2 sofa's 1 medium + 1 small fridge 1 dining table + 3 chairs 2 coffee tables, 3 other occasional tables 4 mattress, 2 box springs + quite a bit of odds/ends The total load exceeded the box truck capacity by about 5% so we moved extra stuff in our SUV. Cost was negotiated to 18K from 20K initial bid. We probably paid extra because our move was supposed to happen mid month but was not scheduled until June 24th. Move was delayed due to construction delays at new home. If you're interested I can give you contact info.

@Red Phoenix Please PM me the TM 30 roadmap. ????

Apparently some mobile phones do allow 2 sims to be active at the same time. However as an Apple user, I can only use 1 sim at a time. That shouldn't be too much of a problem as basically the only time I'll need the UltraMobile sim active is when I'm at my desktop doing some financial functions. If my Thai mobile carrier allows it I could forward my inbound calls to my wife's phone while I'm using the UltraMobile sim for a 2FA message or call. Info on dual sim phones, etc. found at: https://www.techadvisor.com/article/723395/best-dual-sim-phone.html

At least I wouldn't need to do the the sim swap dance. My need to use the UltraMobile sim will be infrequent.

I am wondering if I upgrade to an iPhone that has eSim capability can I switch my True account to use an eSim, and then use my UltraMobile PayGo nano sim in the sim slot on the iPhone? I understand computers well, but not mobile phones.

I've used Google Voice for 100's of calls to USA/Canada from Thailand. It's pretty decent but there is a short lag so that conversations are sometimes not so smooth. Is the WiFi calling via UltraMobile better than that with GV?

@Tropicalevo I've sent you a PM with their LINE contact info.

Of course I have considered your suggestion but I don't need all the whiz bang features that the social media addicted youngsters love on either my main phone or the 2FA phone. I just need to receive SMS's reliably and am happier to pay for only the features that are useful to me.

I just received my registered UltraMobile PayGo sim. Now I'm looking for a low cost phone to accept the nano sim full time rather than switch it out with my Thai sim. Will the phone need to support WiFi calling if I'm only going to receive SMS from US banks, etc.? Looking for a recommended phone for this job.

My long time friend gave me a referral to an iptv service with thousands of movies, TV serials and live international channels including most of EU, the Middle East, US, Canada and UK. They also list Thai channels but I haven't tried them. They got hacked (or maybe shutdown by authorities) but were back up in about 5 days. Cost is 2,100 ฿/year. I'll ask if they accept customers unknown to them. I'll PM you their answer.

why do you want to spend more $$ on a difficult to repair/upgrade style of computer with lower specifications just to gain the ability to tote it around? A normal modern TV can be your monitor and wireless keyboards and mice are inexpensive and convenient.
