There is a label on the side of the power supply but it appears to only give the part number. It looks to be easy to replace the power supply. Maybe I can just buy the power supply part that they use in the model sold for Asia.

I should be able to manage that!

Thanks for your post. I thoroughly checked the unit's capabilities before deciding to bring it over from US. I don't think I messed it up.

It sounds like you don't need to prove the monthly transfer of foreign funds for Thai Immigration Does "CS" refer to Charles Schwab? If it does you can just take your CS debit card to a Bangkok Bank branch and get a "cash advance" from the teller for up to 15K US$ for free at the current VISA exchange rate. That exchange rate is typically very close to the rate that Wise uses but there are NO fees, so you end up getting more ฿ per $ withdrawn from your US account. Apart from any waiting in line time at the bank, that transaction should only take 5-10 minutes.

Sadly it's a North American model with no ability to select the input voltage. The amp and sub-woofer are the only 120V items we brought over. Maybe I'll just borrow the stepsons sound bar to see if that's enough improvement over the small and back-facing TV speakers.

The backstory on Remembrance Day and the poppy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Flanders_Fields

I have a 120v surround sound system that we packed from USA with our household goods. I brought it because I figured selling it and buying a replacement wouldn't be efficient and the 20' container had room (barely 😳). It's time to set it up so I'm looking for advice on a transformer for 230V to 120V. The amp specs. say 540W and the powered sub-woofer requires 135 for a total of around 700W. I have found a transformer on Lazada rated @800W. Should that be OK or should I leave a little more headroom and get a 1KW transformer? Are there different types of transfomers available? If so, what is the best type for a sound system?

LOL... maybe I'm just lucky but 5 of my female inlaws have received US visas on their first attempt.

Sometimes poor mouse response is because the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse is dirty, I use a Q-tip and some window cleaner to clean it. I also periodically wash my mouse pad.

I have used Medtide for probably 15 orders. They have a decent website (for Thailand 😉) for ordering. They keep track of your past orders so it is easy to just re-order your supplies. I find them to be competitively priced. Sometimes they are out of stock but in that case I just wait a couple of days and check again. I order about 3 months supply each time. https://medtide.com/

Excellent post. Accurate and also I learned a new word!

yes... that's why I added "approximately" to my statement. 30 day month yields 2465.75฿ 31 day month yields 2547.95฿ Each leap year, hopefully they'll buy you an extra beer except in 2400!

@jphasia You had 2M deposited for 4 months or 1/3 of a year. You should get 1/3 * .015 * 2,000,000 = 10,000฿ On the 25th of each month your should get approximately 1/12 * .015 * 2,000,000 = 2,500฿ On the funds above the 2M you will be paid 1%. Leaving the 2,500 deposited will earn you 1/12 * .01 * 2,500 = 2.08 ฿ extra each month.

Kasikorn chose to pay on 17th of June and December, SCB was previously paying on the 25th of those months. Land and House bank pay on June 30 and Dec. 31. They all probably pay right up to the day of or the previous day's close of business.

You should return the favour and take their picture every year!

I just use my EZ account for my 800/400K deposit for my annual extension so I don't check it often. I also received a credit labelled "Interest/tax - OTHERS" on the 25th. Mysterious! SCB's Product Sales Sheet for the EZ account can be read @ https://www.scb.co.th/content/dam/scb/personal-banking/product-sales-sheet/deposits/ez-savings-account-en.pdf @keithsimmonds correctly guessed that interest will now be paid monthly on the 25th. An example from that document linked above: "For deposit amounts up to 2 million baht: 1.50% p.a. Interest amount = (2,000,000 x 1.50 / 100 x 1 / 365) = 82.19 baht" It seems that the interest will be accumulated according to the daily balance and credited monthly. It appears that the interest should be compounded. The APY if compounded will be 1.51046%. That will net me an extra 59฿ per year.😳

Yes, thankfully mRNA was created by evolution a long, long time ago. We just learned how to used it over the last couple of decades. Perhaps similar to how we use natural plant proteins and enzymes to provide us nutrition and repair injuries. Same, same!

I think I learned this "math" in grade 5. It should be very obvious that the chance of having only acceptable/benign jabs is reduced by 50% for each additional jab..... that's by definition according to the assumptions you gave.... no actual math/logic required.

Yeah.... almost identical. The statement you can print from internet banking will include the time of day of the transaction. The entries will by default be sorted in reverse chronological order. If you try to sort it the other way they ignore the time of day so multiple entries for the same date are still shown in reverse order. The online statement will also give you the option to show more details for PromptPay transactions. You can hit the + sign for those entries and the recipients name and any text note you add when doing the transaction will be displayed.

@jaideedave I don't know how but I missed your answer until I saw another poster mention Section 217 in an unrelated thread. I haven't filed any Canadian tax form since '88 after moving to USA in '87. I have had no Canadian income since then until I started receiving CPP and a reduced OAS several years ago. I just have to claim my CPP+OAS on US taxes where it's treated the same as US Social Security benefits. I haven't specifically told CRA that I'm not resident but it should be apparent as I use US address and bank for pension benefits, plus no Canadian sourced income.

Shouldn't this thread bear the title: Stereotype Cacophony? Just sayin'.

You cannot conceive of a reasonable explanation for not keeping abreast of AN posts from the date of joining until recently? It really doesn't take much effort to think a tad deeper.
