Thailand Introduces Online TM6 as Tourism Fee Faces Delays
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I honestly can't remember the last time I did a TM6 🤔 3 trips in the past 15 months. I seem to recall asking for one on a plane and the flight attendant said they weren't needed anymore. Am I going crazy? Edit to add: I enter using the Thai queue (not a Thai citizen though), so maybe that's why they don't ask for it? -
Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist

Ah yes, the modern generation, where the consequences of your own decisions make you a victim. -
Talking to Thais, have you ever had "Pow Wow" moments?
SABloke replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Maybe they were recalling conversations they had earlier in the day where this weird foreigner was walking around shoving photos in their faces asking them "What do you call them in Thai?" 🤣 -
This is a dumb comparison - total false equivalency. A better comparison would be the following: would you rather A) put a child in a car X amount of times (like many do every year), or B) let a child crawl under an elephant X amount of times? My kids have been in cars thousands of times, but I wouldn't let them under an elephant once (let alone thousands of times). Why - because the one interaction carries way more short-term inherent danger to my children due to the size and strength of an elephant.

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
SABloke replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I have just gotten off the phone with a KBank rep - she confirmed that NOTHING will happen to the status of my account (lack of access; mobile banking etc.) if I do not return the form. However, she did say that next time I updated my phone number or passport at a Kbank branch they might ask if I have Thai TIN. I am not a US-Citizen so her answer was based on this. -

British man’s Thai-high’ trip goes up in smoke at Manchester customs
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well Pharoah got 26 months (although he did have 10kg's more, if that makes a huge difference? His judge didn't believe his "victim" story: "Judge John Potter told Pharoah during sentencing: "People like you, who take part in importing commercial quantities of cannabis like this, must and no doubt would expect on capture to be sent to prison." Maybe Sohail was lucky and got a soft judge. -
Boy 7 killed by Thai mother rocks quiet Welsh town
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Clearly not as important as the 80% of the information in the article that seeks to understand why the poor culprit did what they did. Disgusting article to be fair. -
K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
SABloke replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I know what "certified" actually means, thanks. However, I also know what "certified" means in practical terms when dealing with banks in Thailand. However, you go ahead and get a notarised copy of your passport and email it to them by all means. 👍 -

From my experience "certified" in Thai banking means signed by the account holder.- 851 replies

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
SABloke replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Kasikorn has gone from being very foreign user friendly to being a pain in the ass. Surprisingly KTB (government) allowed me to update information and do some other services without my bank books out of province (just a few verification phone calls to account branch - as they do with Thai citizens), whereas Kbank cited "government regulations" not letting me do the same. Relating to these docs: what happens if we don't reply by 20 December? -

Thai father’s plea to find missing daughter and 262,000 baht

Seemingly introspective enough to know that they have no self-control... ...yet proving that they are morons. Apple 'n tree etc. -

I have a migraine from reading this: It's clearly a Thai article (likely AI generated with inputs - nothing wrong with AI BTW) then translated into English with AI = the most unnatural and clunky prose ever seen. -
Poll: One-Third of Thais ‘Very Angry’ if Handout is Cancelled
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I know people that have already received the money. I don't know how they will justify not giving out the rest. I don't support the policy to be clear, but now that they have started, it would be a total shirtstorm if they don't finish it. -
Face off: Chinese fraudster has surgery to evade law in Thailand
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Care to explain? I didn't do any exact calculations, sure, however even at the lower end: 1.5 mil RMB x 6 = 9 mil RMB (which is over 40 million THB - or as I originally stated "way more than 8 million Baht"). And quoted in the article the top end was 8 mil RMB which is over 1 mil USD (1.13 mil if you want to be precise). -

SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
1.5 - 8 million RMB each (6 victims) is way more than 8 million Baht. Also, who would pay up to 8 million RMB (over 1 mil USD) to secure a cabin crew job? Nothing adds up in this story. -
Supercar convoy causes major delays on M6 motorway (video)
SABloke replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There seems to be a lead car (pick-up?) with its rear open. This potentially indicates it's a film shoot of some kind which would also explain the escort. Of course, they could've informed the public in advance. However, I'd much prefer a shoot slowing down traffic as opposed to shoots where they just close the entire road. With few alternate routes available, that would really be an inconvenience. -

Auto-correct "took over" and it changed a correctly spelled word to an incorrect version? 🤣 Must be a new feature. 🤔 -

Thai Restaurant Industry Faces Crisis, Urges Government Action
SABloke replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
How many restaurants have over 200 employees? Seems like the restaurant association only represents the big chains. Also, if your business is a restaurant, and you list imported food as competition, I suggest you food must be really crap if people are willing to wait days to eat 555
