I am using a US residential address with Schwab and all other financial partners (except SSA) in US and Canada. I've lived in Thailand since Sep. 2020 and have had no issues with any of them. I have a Google Voice number from the area code of my former residence and my current proxy address to bolster the subterfuge. I kept the Schwab account partly for the ease and efficiency of converting funds to ฿ via their debit card at ATM or BKK bank tellers. It is doubtful that my 35 year history with Schwab would prevent them from taking action if they became aware of my relocation to Thailand.

Since that is such a regular occurence in these parts.... let's just say MBSSOM.

Our water bill sat in our mailbox for a few days because it lay so flat. I didn't notice it until other mail arrived. Consequently the very short window for easy payment was closed. PWA's website is pretty much useless if you can't read Thai. The web site designers insist on using images to display the information rather than text. Chrome's built in translation function cannot translate the Thai language in the images. Also the website gives a link to a PDF document that contains the instructions for making payments.... but that document is in Thai only. The PDF also presents the crucial information in images rather than text.

Are you using an iPhone? If I have WiFi connected and I turn on Airplane Mode, I still can get online with my iPhone 8 Plus. Is your VPN running on your phone, your router or your computer? Is your Apple ID using a US address or Thai address? I am using a US address with Thai phone number.

I would love it if I could use one..... but it's interior drips from when they painted the door, window and baseboard trim.

Our builder did a decent job on cleanup, but still some spots where the cleanup was not done carefully. What's a good product for dried latex paint? I've been to HomePro and Global house but the staff could only point me to products more likely for oil based paints (Beger and TOA). An online guide said there are citrus based products but I have not seen any in stores here. Suggestions?

The instructions that you have referred to as "far too complicated" are only required to get the Google Voice (GV) app installed on his phone. Those steps are required to get around Google's restrictions on installing the app while in Thailand. Once that is done, making a GV phone call is almost identical to the regular actions for placing calls. As for reliability, I have not had any problems placing or receiving calls for years now.

I use Textnow in Thailand from the Chrome browser. But, I have not tried any phone calls, only SMS.

Also free calls and SMS to Canada.

Do you already have a Google Voice number? That may be difficult to get from Thailand. Try installing the app again after you disable "Location Services" on your iPhone, and also use WiFi only by enabling Airplane mode. Also use the VPN as in your previous attempt. Remember to re-enable everything afterwards! Found in: Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Location Services. Calls to UK start at 1 US cent/minute for landlines and most mobile providers. Some UK providers are much more expensive to call. You will need to be able to deposit US$ to your Google account.

Nothing travels faster than gossip.

Just having a Cloud Machine (VPS) won't allow you to do what you want. To access the VPS and use it to hide your Thai IP address you will need software to do that. VPN software may be overkill for that task but it is probably the easiest way to get to the functionality you require. You could probably use proxy software which is less powerful.

Yes.... but you mentioned bandwidth as a criteria for identifying a VPN... that is not correct. All Amazon needs is the IP address of the VPN server. The Amazon server will then probably compare the IP address to list of known VPN server addresses. IPv4 addresses are only 4 bytes (characters) long so a search will be very fast. How are you communicating with the US based servers that you wish to spoof your location? If only through a browser, then the US based server has fewer capabilities to determine your location accurately. If you are using an application program provided by the US company, then they will have a greater ability to identify you and your location. Their custom written application will have greater access to other information on your computer than they would have if only using a browser.

I don't think this explanation accurately reflects what an Amazon server is able to determine about a connection that it accepts from a VPN provider. The only data that such a server can see from such a connection is the IP address of the VPN provider's server, the IP address of the computer transmitting the packet on the last leg of it's journey and of course the actual user data in the packet. I'm pretty sure the Amazon server would not be able to determine the "bandwidth" of the connection from the VPN server. Perhaps you meant to use another term instead of bandwidth.

These days you can buy a very compact "desktop" that can easily be attached to the back of a monitor using a VESA mount. This arrangement will largely replicate the experience of using an All in One PC. The major difference is that there will two power cords and a short HDMI/Display Port cable from the computer to the monitor. The mouse and keyboard cables can also be eliminated if you use Bluetooth components. I recommend this setup over an All in One primarily because of easier hardware maintenance, replacement and upgrades. There's a good chance it will also be cheaper.

I came across this resource when looking for information regarding tax obligations when living abroad. The IRS has a YouTube channel. A playlist in that YTube channel has 5 videos specific to taxpayers living abroad. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvDH25MKBe1dHOGwmZ941u6NLYRM7lJYX The price is right and the info is straight from the horse's mouth.

OK.. back on my desktop I opened Tupperware Thailand FB page. SK Intergroup 2005 Co. Ltd is the authorized distributor in Thailand. The website seems to be down. There is no response when I PING the tupperware.in.th address. That means there is no computer responding to that address. I also couldn't find the domain name registration. I sent a message (in English) to the operator of that FB page and got an answer in Thai that doesn't quite make sense when translated to English by Google. At least there seems to be a live person responding to messages. Translated from Thai: Tupperware (Tupperware) for Thailand Under supervision and management by SK Intergroup 2005 Co., Ltd. and SK Corp Limited Partnership is the sole licensee to import and distribute within Thailand. Tupperware Operating Business Model Tupperware now has a wide variety of distribution channels to meet consumer needs. and working lifestyle of each personality to make it more convenient to work open to direct selling business and opened a comprehensive dealer and service center

I googled “Tupperware Thailand” and found they have a Facebook page that lists a website for Tupperware in Thailand. www.tupperware.in.th I only have my phone at this moment and I suck at internet browsing using it.

They should have given Bout a parting shot of polonium-210.

They aren't the responsible parties. A lot of them are also victims of Putinism.

I've seen fried pork skin for sale at Nong Hoi market and made fresh at 89 Plaza open market on Mon. + Wed. 4PM-??. It's not hard to find.

I live in CM and I logged into Wells Fargo just now through a browser without VPN. They have made a change to the login process. I now have to type in a 3 letter code that is displayed on the screen by numbers that are constantly moving.

I would call a few visa agents and check with them.

While on my scooter, I assume the cars have the right of way here ????

Those cars with the GREEN light should. I believe the deference to those cars is written into the corresponding traffic rules in the US/Can and a better than average chance it is here as well.
