Buying a new Samsung phone soon
No idea. I am not sure many stores in the USA even carry it physically, I can not think of there being a motorola store as apple has. I bought mine from amazon while here in the USA

Scotsman Detained in Thailand After Ex Flags Passport as Stolen
Forgetting the ability for somebody other than the passport holder to be able to report it as stolen, the article says she reported it last October? So almost one year later he was still able to travel just recently? The flight into DOHA had no issues and he was able to board and continue onto Phuket? Actually the article doesn't seem to state when he did travel. Based on the legal things and investigations it mentioned, this was not a very recent trip

Buying a new Samsung phone soon
yes and it was 240 USD, unlocked, new from factory. The only thing I see lacking with my Moto G7 Power I got in 2021 that I may want in the near future is that it doesn't seem to handle one of those virtual or E SIMs that one can get and use while traveling internationally.

Beaches with waves
Karon beach Phuket has had some decent waves the two times I went there. Kata not so much as it is more of a cove almost. Of course can depend on wind and the weather

Buying a new Samsung phone soon
I swear by Motorola Power G7. I have had one for four years now. Not a single issue. Big long lasting battery. Takes all the android apps I have used from the play store.

DTV, remote working and tax
jesus you people love to nit pick. I was explaining the general tax issue if 180 days were to happen. You take every thing out of context and pull out just one sentence.

DTV, remote working and tax
The income tax issue is far from clear. current wording says a foreigner may have to file at least the assessable income tax forms to then determine what if any income would be taxable. And that only has to be done if one is in Thailand for 180 days in one calendar years. Many have posted that since they know their income is not taxable, they plan to not submit any tax forms at all. I defer to more experienced tax people.

The transformation of Pattaya
my first trip was in 2004. Yes, the American and European presence is greatly different now. Total different vibe. I remember when there were real low seasons compared to high seasons which was Ok. Easy to cross second road without getting run over. Then the russian invasion began. Place was over built. too many grocery stores now. They can't sustain that

Constitutional Court Sacks Thai PM Over Ethics Breach
My first visit to Thailand was in 2004. I had read up on the country a bit and thought it was good to finally see an elected PM, then a re-elected PM. On the surface it seemed that the cycle of military coups was finally ending.

Germany's Tough New Bid to Slash Migrant Rights Stirring Fury
It seems reasonable to me. Even if it were not considered reasonable by some, if the law makers make it law, then so be it. Its' their country.

Scanning of document business centre?
For future use if you do a lot of single page scanning, there are hand held scanners out there you can buy. Swipe them over the page. Some look like wands. Easiest is to go to any of the stores others have posted that are in the area. A few years ago when Internet cafes were still popular, many of them had copy/scanners. Many Travel agency shops have copy/scanners. Just ask if you can use them for one page and offer 20 or 50 baht for a tip.. Machine can send the scanned pdf file to an email address you enter or bring a Thumb drive and save it to that

Scanning of document business centre?
Take a photo with your phone. Save it or convert it to a PDF. A pdf file is what a copy/scanner typically outputs. The jpeg format or PNG format your phone camera may save the photo as would not be acceptable as he seems to want a scan which usually means pdf

How do you deal with connotations and assumptions you're a sex tourist?
I just ignore them, tell them they know not what they speak, they have never been to Thailand and never will because they are too old or too stupid to try anything new. All they hear is the one or two sensationalist stories that make headlines now and then. Thailands people, beaches, food choices, massage choices, nightlife, scenery, public transit system of BTs sky train, air con buses, and so much more make it a wonderful vacation spot or more

I will make a comment as relevant as yours.. You need to study geology because you know nothing about rocks

I did not say at the roundabout. I said down by the roundabout. Across from the body massage places i.e. soi 3 or soi 4. I am pretty sure that was a C now it is Big C Marina or whatever.- Thailand Post Suspends US Parcels as Trump Axes Tax Exemption
Knock on wood, now that I started social security and am using my USA address, I won't have to worry about this. But it seems odd to me that the SSA will never want to check that I am alive, just because records show a US address?- Thailand Post Suspends US Parcels as Trump Axes Tax Exemption
well just ordered several target and shell gas gift cards. They are sent USPS. So some things really do get mailed. Even stupid Medicare every month insists on paper mailing my premium bill even thought I pay it online. SSA now and then sends me paper mail even though I have paper free selected on my account for years. My credit and debit cards are paper mailed to me now and then when they are nearing their expiration date. They are all sent US Mail.- BigC extra on klang
I remember when it was Carre 4.m Big C was down by Dolphin roundabout. I liked the variety and option of two different stores. Now all Big C- Thailand Tightens Mobile Banking to Curb Scams
Oh so online banking is limited or is being limited or is not even possible any more for some banks? So they forced people to use Apps, and now Apps banking has limitation? Joseph Heller Catch 22?- Thailand Tightens Mobile Banking to Curb Scams
So can't one still use your mobile phone, log onto the bank website and then do the transfer without any mobile app limitations?- Direct US Flights from Thailand.
Premium economy used to be great on EVA but then they re designed all the seats and took away the big foot rest that was part of the chair and now the seats just have little foot pegs on the back of the seat in front of you. Vastly different than what the seats used to be- Seatbelts
Oh yeah and growing up I would hear that it is better to be thrown clear of the car!- Seatbelts
Plain old seat belt is poor protection. One is likely to slam upper body and head into steering wheel etc. Belt with Shoulder harness is so much better. I had one of my cars totaled when a car plowed into me. Man I actually had black and blue bruise marks on my body from the shoulder harness strap. Definitely would not have fared well had I slammed into the steering wheel- Why Apple Is Losing Ground in the Smartphone War
Have had a Motorola G7 Power since 2021. Paid 250 all in as I recall. It Does everything I need. I load a few apps now and then from the play store. I do use Maps often as I travel and drive in places new to me in the USA. Voice, text, chat, can access the internet. One Etrade banking app I install and then uninstall once I remote deposit checks I get now and then. My usage is minimal so I do not need anything more. Others may need or want more. But the price for Apple IPhones to me just seems unjustified. - BigC extra on klang
