    Title says it all.

     

    I am planning to buy a condo, and send the cash from my bank in Canada.  About 2.2 million THB altogether.  

     

    Now my bank offers free overseas transfers up to $50,000 CAD per day, so I would make two transfers. It takes about 2-3 days for the money to hit my bank account in Thailand (Bangkok Bank).  My question is whether this is the best way to transfer the money.  How do I get screwed using this method- bank fees for receiving the transfer? Poor exchange rate converting CAD to THB?  What will the catch be?   

     

    I hear all over that using Wise is the way to go, but perhaps that is only for making monthly transfers of relatively low amounts. My case is just once and a relatively large amount.   So, advice and wisdom from those smarter than me would be appreciated!

    So far, you haven't found anyone smarter than you on here, mainly guessers as far as I can see. Talk to Wise, talk to the banks and check the regulations with the land office before you do anything.

    Noppadan is named as both the guard and the perpetrator. Is he both? 

     

    A horrific act. What kind of man shoots a group of people dead? Fortunately this kind of thing does not happen often here. They happen almost daily in the US, a nation that absolutely adores it's violence.

    Typical Thai.. The singers were not so good and the audience complained... a fight broke out and he went home to get a gun to shoot the complainers...Probably all result of too much noise all the time that makes people oversensitive, too much alcohol and too long parties. Temples first of all should be a place to meditate and rest/peace, but in Thailand these temples are used as an entertainment venue with many activities, as movies, dancings, parties, just name it with a lot of noise. Rip to the victims, but probably Noppadon will face no charge as he a member of the volunteer defence corps... Justice in Thailand has we have seen many times doesn't exist. It will be a misunderstanding

    Noppadan was shot and killed!

    Thanks, delgarcon. Will test access at the weekend for tinyzonetv.se but my protection software is indicating movies2watch.tv is a security risk. Have you experienced any difficulty? 🙏

    I've had no difficulty with either site, but as they offer an almost identical film library, you might as well stick with tinyzone.

    I am currently on KPN and Thong Sala has at least two roads decked out with rows of Chinese lanterns and 'walking streets' in the evening.

    The Chinese temple in Thong Sala is also all set up for the lunar celebration.

    The hotel where I am staying is also setting up ready for an 'event' but I will be gone before it happens.

    In previous years, the hotel has had offerings and a dragon dance etc.

    Which hotel is that T?

    They think that because they can do what they like in Europe without consequences, they can do it everywhere else.

    You can't be serious. In my younger and foolish days I was banned from driving 4 times in England. Later on in life I had a minivan company in France and due to having to speed on occasion, to arrive on time for my client, I ended up with several tickets due to being caught in radar traps. I was eventually banned for 6 months and had to attend a driving course. Believe me, there are consequences for breaking traffic laws in Europe!
