You can also raise your withdrawal limit on your ATM card - 500k is the max I think. 

It's funny how you can buy a car with 2 suite cases full of cash and deposit the same way in any thai bank but once you want to take it out... the problems start.

16 million, not 1.6 million

Yes, I can read thank you. 

16 milion / 24 = about 666,000 baht a month which is not THAT much.. that is hardly $20k USD/month. 

Good luck living on that for more than a few years.. but lets not start the old thai visa bs, who earns more and what not. I am just saying I couldn't live on that longer than 2 years.

Surely there is an app for this purpose.

That would be GrindR. 

The gras is always greener on the other side. 

I married a similar girl, left her for something - which I thought was better - and it was a huge mistake. 

Other women might be more pretty, educated and what not but do they genuinely care for you? 

I know the one I married did and still does, regardless if my bank account looks like her phone number or has 20 baht in it. 

16m baht? 2 years tops if he keeps it together. 

What car crash? 

Now it's just comparing bank accounts to 'solve' the case. 

Welcome to the new generation. We are in for a ride.

Seriously?   You don't like Korean Barbecue?   

I think it's the best food South Korea has to offer. Not just the food but the whole experience that comes with it. The friendships and bonds you make while having your food. 

Unless you're a total social retard, dinner in Korea is almost like going to a nightclub in terms of making connections, friends, girls you name it.

Never did a 90 day report in person to begin with. No idea what the 'agent' puts on there but I never had a problem in almost 10 years.

AOT does that, too.

AOT charges at least 1,700 baht for the E-Class which is (to my knowledge) the cheapest sedan they have, unless you want to sit in a Fortuner or Camry - which you could get from UBER. 

Thanks for the replies. The problem is not that the signal isn't reaching the entire condo, the signal is just too weak to watch IPTV or something like that.

I will check pantip tomorrow for a decent repeater. Was expecting a lot more from the Apple time capsule. 

Hi, 

I need a proper wifi repeater for my condo. I am using AIS Fibre and the Apple Time Capsule, but the signal just doesn't reach my bedroom or the other side of the condo. 

Anyone has any recommendation? I would prefer 2 or 3 small repeaters that I can just plug into the wall's power outlet so I can cover my whole condo. 

It's only 200 sqm to cover but the standard AIS router or Apple Time Capsule won't do the job.

it seems that the SIM cards came from Malaysia

Now if the terrorists had used the Expat / Tourist Sim cards, the case would be closed already. 

Thats sort of normal. We always give the clothes we don't wear anymore to our maid and she (the maid) passes it down to her family members. 

I never had a girlfriend simply grabbing my stuff and giving it away. Thats a bit awkward. 

Drug related? People visiting constantly at odd hours - I am guessing in the night time or early morning. 

25 is way too young to die, no matter for what she has done. 

Aren't they famous for trying to share one girl from Beach Road for 500 baht amongst 4 guys and then get ripped off and find out it's actually a ladyboy they took home?

Some decisions in life require you to look ahead in time, such as buying a house, getting married and having kids. The perspective and scope for a 60 year old retiree with pension is completely different than a 28 year English teacher who fell in love with a Thai girl. It will be very difficult for the 28 year old to get settled here.

Not an english teacher here.. by far, but I came here at 20 - now I am here 10 years and married. 

We got a decent european car and a condo that is paid for. 

The outlook isn't that much different, just that we don't look 20 years ahead from now. It's bugging me in my current day to day life. 

I just came back from a business trip and while others passed me in the fast track line, the I/O was going through my passport like I was some sort of criminal. 

Everything we have is paid for in cash, all cash comes from abroad. Not taking anyones job and just contributing to the society and eco system by spending my money in Thailand. 

It is a scary thought that you can get refused entry at any given time - without reason, under the current martial law. 

I doubt much would change if I'd switch to an Elite Visa which cost a fortune for nothing (we don't play golf and the misses enjoys the spa on our on dime). Fast track at the airport is the same when flying Business or First class than on the Elite Visa, so even that won't change much in our situation. 

Didn't all the crap start once the idiot blew up the backpack on Erawan? Before that, there weren't any visa changes or tightenings on the rules. 

The uncertainty of what is going to happen is really putting a damper on a lot of things in our every day life. I am not thinking about 20 years from now, but tomorrow. 

Should I buy a car, should I buy a condo, renovate the current one... the list goes on. 

It's hard to make it your home if you can get thrown out in a blink of an eye without doing anything wrong. 

I have been here 10 years but just like the OP I don't feel 'welcome' anymore. 

Well we can go all day back and forth but it's called co-working space.

The people in a shared office can also be working for their own company in their homecountry.That's not working in Thailand.

No? Where are they working when sitting in Bangkok in an office? The Netherlands?

Do you all have work permits all the people working in these shared spaces?

Wondering the same thing. Isn't it like basically asking for trouble to use one of those co-working spaces? 

I remember Hubba in Chiang Mai got raided but I don't know what happened with the people that were 'working' there. 

You got insurance?

Do a Google for: removals bangkok

Lots of hits.

Mac

True, no need for ThaiVisa and the annoying ads left and right. Will use google from now on, thanks!
