I think scb will do the same soon. I logged into their crappy excuse for a website the other night and noticed it now suggests using the app

I got nothing since 4th Feb. No response to this thread? Strange

I always notice a place on the left in the alley before bkk hospital because it's a large area at up for testing with cones and stuff. I looked on maps. The place is called advance driving school Pattaya. They do cars and bikes. That's all i know.

Thanks for the replies. So I simply transfer the funds from foreign currency into the receiving account where it will be converted to baht. Then I need to visit the bank only after the funds have arrived and request an FET form and that's it. Done? That's how I am understanding it? There was another thing called credit advice that was mentioned. What is it? Do I need it? I also thought it best to transfer the funds to my own account then disperse them as needed as it is a number of different payments. Yet my legal advisor said in this case it would be better to deposit directly. I feel like then I will be unable to get the FET which is needed. Also i'm not sure I will be able to see the converted figure anywhere as it's not my account. I will ask the bank tomorrow.

I'm having trouble understanding the steps involved. Particularly in regards to the documents and who gets them and when and what they are. I've heard of FET and "credit advice". At the moment I know I need to transfer the cash to a developers local account. But I don't know if I need to contact the local bank first or get any documents prior or what the process is to get those documents after. I have heard that should I want to move these funds back out of Thailand in the future then I would need to produce some kind of document from when they were originally transferred into Thailand. I believe the developer may also require some of these documents for their records. I asked the developer and my legal advisor but everyone is pretty chill about it and not really giving me the answers i'm looking for, which is basically the process step by step. It seems important and I don't want to screw it up.

Apparently not. Theres a few shops selling them

Apparently if u honk your horn to let others know your running the red it is ok

Yeh they basically do nothing and expect 1 months rent as payment for bringing a generic contract to a signing and not much else

I recently paid a reservation fee for an off plan condo. The due diligence report came back stating there was a risk due to low company capital of just 6 million thai baht. There was also an issue of the last financial report not being lodged apparently due to waiting for some transactions to finalise first. They have since pointed out that they have a much larger company with 100 million capital, which seems to be correct and they reference it as related across their marketing however on paper it is actually not the actual development company in charge of the project. Despite them saying the smaller company is "under" the much larger company I don't think it makes any legal difference. Can anyone share some figures of what the development companies capital was in projects that they have been a part of. Thanks

This is why I think it's important to change or add an extra door lock. The question is this may not be allowed in every condominium. Most buildings I have stayed the office also keep a set of keys. Given how miserable and difficult some of the staff are i'm not entirely comfortable with it. If you add for example a yale elctronic lock that adds another layer of security that should keep condo staff out. They use an extra keycard and also a pin code. I also bought a camera to switch on while i'm not home. I think most cases nobody going to go through your room but if they get a dislike for you then maybe. There was a case of this happening a few years ago in Pattaya except police were involved.

My understanding is legal if the building has a hotel license. I've stayed in a number of different condos. Some operating without hotel licenses that still very obviously had daily rentals walking in and out past huge signs saying "THIS IS NOT A HOTEL" and what they're doing is illegal. However they walk right past reception who couldn't care less. Then I have stayed in condos that also have a hotel license and rooms are rented out daily or long term with no issues. There tends to be more tourists in these condos and they care less about making noise or showing respect. There's a number of property management companies that can manage the cleaning and daily rentals of rooms.

I guess people use them so they don't have to do it themselves. I think the term "agents" is a bit loose. To me an agent should have an office with email etc. However I noticed it's normally just some Thai Jo Blow with no office or business. So if there are any problems yo're normally stuck chatting in Line hoping they will reply because you wouldn't even know really who they are or where to find them. I met some chick on Tinder about a year ago. She was something like 21 and living in Issan with no job and not much education. I saw she moved to Phuket and was into the Party scene. Then I was surpised to see her listing 2 properties on Facebook groups for rent as an agent. I think agents are ok as long as they have a shopfront and some kind of business

These teachers and school staff seem to have no fear of retribution from parents. If anyone did that too my kid it would be strike first ask questions later. Not being a hero but I would've thought that a natural reaction from any parent when anyone physically harms your child?

Yeh forget about going to the mall. Lazada little china scanner a couple hundred baht and then fobs n cards cost nothing. Some people need a lot of copies because they lose them a lot.

Look for girlfriend in toilet and get sh*t

This bed stuff is all overly complicated in Thailand. Even buying doonas and stuff. Whatever happened to just king queen single double etc? Why are they selling bedding in feet when the only country hanging on to this old system is America? English schools more often than not teach USA English rather than proper English. Really weird. I should know better by now than trying to understand the logic.

Oh forgot to mention ais doesn't require the purchase of roaming packages to recieve the sms. But it may take a small fee, I've never checked. That's why i keep the credit there and also to extend validity of the sim.

Never had an issue. I try to do deny location permission to the apps. When i leave Thailand i apparatus keep 1000 baht credit on my phone. On occasion they require sms authorisation. I just turn on the thai sim. Using ais the sms always comes through. That's using scb and kasikorn. Bkk app i didn't use for a long time and can't remember. Because bkk bank sucks.

Which province?

Went in here the other day. They said i can get a free something weird i didn't want. Said no. Then she said how about a free burger and showed the pic above. Ok. That looked good. So she walks ober to a nearby shelf and picks up a brown bag and brings it over. I just smiled and said no. So the delicious looking free burgers are actually room temperature, sitting on a shelf all day.

Not in terms of tax

Wondered this myself. Looks like a ballache. That airport counter is usually overrun with hordes of screaming Chinese anyway.

I remember looking at my policy and seeing something like "must be licensed to ride motorcycle". I imagine the only way to be covered is to hold a Thai motorcycle licence. Probably same goes for cars. Probably 90% of tourists here are not covered by insurance let alone licensed for a motorcycle here or at home. Some rental shops advertise insurance but probably just to cover their bikes as is standard issue with all registration in Thailand. I think that's very misleading as well. Whatever happened to the much advertised news that all renters must provide insurance. That was just a few years ago...

And it seems quite obvious to me that 2 balls ripped apart indicates a lottery win. Clearly everyone in the village should try to find 22 78 32 44 and also a 6 because 2 minced testicles plus 2 4 legged killers equals 10.

I did same thing. New address and passport at kasikorn. Didn't need certificate of residence or rental contract. Just new and old passports and the old "book bank".
