What price range ??

Passed by the new station last night. It was totally dark. Does not look open to me.

This was posted Feb 19th.

Khon Kaen Railway Station is currently (last update February 2019) being refurbished to accommodate the new dual track railway line under construction, and passenger services are operating out of a temporary railway station at the moment which is inconveniently located 8.2 km by road to the south of the Chao Por Lak Muang Khon Kaen Shrine, in the centre of Khon Kaen City. 

I'm a bit confused...

1 What tax are you guys talking about? My wife has quit a bit of land and to the best of my knowledge there are no yearly tax payments.

2  If your wife has undisputed ownership that was acquired and registered 3 years ago, squatters rules do not apply. 

From what I understand, these people who are farming the land must live on the land as well without the owners knowledge.

Your wife giving  them permission to farm disqualifies them from claiming squatters rights.

I don't see how a court can rule for these farmers. 

Sounds like it could be the routers firewall setting. Some routers have a high medium and low setting. 

Check the setting if it's on high change it to medium. Log out of the router and reboot both the router and your MACs.

I order from Amazon as their products are real and they get here in 5 or 6 days. Amazon now has a dedicated section of products that do ship to Thailand.

You need to check Lazada as many of the products are fake. I also find Lazada expensive.

My wife likes these new 3 in 1 laundry pods. They sell on Lazada for 250-450B depending on the seller. I buy the identical product on Shopee for B149. Huge difference.

I'm not aware of needing an income letter to marry a Thai National, nor was I asked to provide one when I married. 

The rule for bankruptcy is you must owe over 1 mil. From what I understand, creditors can ban together and force bankruptcy.

It takes 3 years to remove credit report data.

Hi Jeffrey, I do believe you are completely correct, and this has been the situation for the past many years. I have today been advised by a major law company to take the license holder to the Tax Office in Laemchabang and find out what is wrong. As stated in another reply, my humble little open-air bar has now been listed by my lawyer as a disco ! ???? Very strange indeed, no music and an average net of not much over 150,000 after legal-rate wages paid. Thank you for your reply.

I'm not quite sure what the tax increments are without checking with my wife, but believe 150-300,000 is 5%. 

When you go to the Revenue Office and are not comfortable with what you're being told, let me know via PM and I will be glad to put you in touch with my wife.

These Top Cops have nothing better to do then blame tourists for their inability to manage their own job responsibilities. 

Thai Nationals for the most part couldn't care less about the rules.

The Cops know it, they can't manage it so they take it out on the tourists.

The Police can determine that your complaint is a "no crime" complaint and not forward it to the prosecutor. If they determine the crime is borderline, they tend to bury it. They do this as there is a tremendous amount of investigation and paperwork that needs to be done prior to the complaint going to the prosecutor. 

If you feel wronged, you can insist they send it to the prosecutor who will determine if a crime has been committed.

Even if the prosecutor determines a crime has been committed. he/she can choose not to pursue it.

If it's for basic transportation, any of the new pickups will do you well..  If it's for work [farm etc], IMO Ford is the best of the lot.

Response from Transferwise.

 

"Hey xxx, we did unfortunately have an issue with our partner bank in Thailand and for this reason your payment bounced back from them to us. The money is within our system and we'll try sending it out again today, it should be on your account by tomorrow. We're very sorry for any inconveniences this caused you."

 

Note they are only going to "try" sending it again. Also note it's not their fault. In fact, it's never their fault.
 

This is not true.. I setup a transfer on Friday. TW said I would receive the money on Monday Feb 4.

On Feb 4 I got a message from TW stating that my receiving bank refused the transfer.

I called Bangkok Bank and they said no such transfer was received by them.

I called TW, they apologized saying the glitch was in their system and not with my receiving bank. They said I would have my transfer today.

I asked them to adjust the conversion rate as it is now higher and in my favor. They said they could not.

My bet is that Thai Immigration will not consider screen shots of an app as official... to date they have only accepted a bank issued statement and balance letter from the bank...

Possible, but we really don't know for sure. The next time I go to the IO, I will show the app and the printout and ask if they will accept it as proof of transfer.

From where are you printing this detailed transaction that shows everything from?... Bangkok Bank?

 

And in general it is most likely that Thai Immigration will only accept printed documents directly from the Thai bank as anything you printed off yourself of from a foreign source  is easily manipulated...

It's not a foreign source.. It's the official  BKK Bank Bualuang m Banking App

You don't need to show the App, just print the transaction. It shows everything.. Amount of transfer, time and date received and most importantly it's listed as INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

I have that but would TI be happy with you showing them your iBanking app? I suspect not.

Did a SWIFT transfer from my UK bank this month and showed up as "International Transfer". Had planned to use TransferWise next month to reduce costs. However, I'm getting mixed messages from the forum as to whether this method always appears as am international transfer with Bangkok Bank. Some say that it does but @Sheryl claims that it doesn't 100% of the time. Not sure that I want to take the risk with TransferWise. 

Bangkok Bank iBanking App shows every TW transfer I made as an international transfer.

I would urge anyone who's transfer was listed as "local bank transfer" to download the app and see if BKK Bank has listed it as an Intl Transfer as mine are.

Can't you just download their IOS or Android App or must you first have an internet account?

Did mine in Savannakhet.. Was a breeze..

If you ask 10 people this question, you will get 10 different answers.

If you just need to download files, connect to the VPN server closest to you for the bet results.

If you are using it to view TV/Sports and need a specific country IP, expect 30 to 50% drop in speed.

I have free Gov care for over 10 years. I have found you get better care at Gov teaching hospitals They usually have better more modern equipment.
