TAX ??????

I posted on a similar thread a few days ago about the hidden costs of DeeMoney (and most of these packages). It;s a lot of money which is lost on the transferts!!!!! I did not yet asked the bank, but maybe they would accept to wire the funds from bak to bank without changing it first to Thai Baht and then again to EUR/US Dollar. What is FCD Account for Non-Residents? FCD Account for Non-Residents is Bangkok Bank’s foreign currency deposit service that enables you to deposit foreign currency in 14 main currencies. You can deposit, withdraw or transfer the money in the account without converting money into local baht suitable for non-residents who would like to save foreign currency earned from overseas and convert them to baht whenever they prefer the exchange rate and for non-residents who work in Thailand and would like to save money in foreign currency in the account. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Save-And-Invest/Save/FCD-Account-for-Non-residents

Many answers here are NOT really "Unlimited". They are LIMITED to a certain amount of GigaBytes, and once reached that amount they go to a slow pace of a few Mb/Sec. 70Gb may seem a lot, but I did a simple test, reading ASEANNOW for about 30 minutes and 5GB was downloaded on advertising movies and photo's. So, if you spend 30 minutes each day to only read the AseanNow, your package will not last a month.

I forgot to mention that the yearly Rental Contract (standard sheets availalble everywhere) need to be stamped with TAX STAMPS. NO Tax Stamps = NOT accepted. Luckely, the Tax Stamps are available at the Copy Shop next to Immigration .....

AFAIK, Korat immigration has always been asking to provide proof a place of residence with my Retirement Visa extension. I was required to have a valid 1 year rental contract, with a copy of the ID-Card of the landlord. Even a few months ago at my visa extension. Every immigration office has different rules. What Documents Do I Need When Applying for a Thailand Visa Extension? If you have family relations to a Thai national: Proof of family relationship such as a Marriage or Birth Certificate Map showing the location of the household (and maybe even pictures) Proof of the required financial means Rental contract The ID of the Thai national You may also have to submit family pictures If you want to retire in Thailand: Proof of the required financial means/deposit in the Thai bank Proof of monthly income Proof of residence

Can you provide a little bit more information about the card? Type? Link?

I have a separate SIM-Card since 15 years which is only for phone-calls and SMS (3G). The unlimited SIM Card would be used in a separate GSM and used only for Internet browsing.

I don't know about the situation in other places of Thailand, but in Korat, most of the DTac outlets have been closed and their website refers to True for all their SIM Cards. Most likely, the DTac sim cards will be pulled out of the market and will be merged with TRUE.

Can you specify the type of SIM Card? Picture?

Do you have an unlimilted INTERNET/WIFI SIM card? How much do you pay? What Speed up/down? TIA

Another "Quality" tourist in Thailand.

Daily "News" in Thailand. Nothing new here.

I've heard that there will be a Condominium free in Dubai next month. Might be a good place to retire now that he still can.

That is your personal opinion, not the Thai law.

That means that in case she would be get judged, she will be allowed to give birth to the child and then she will be transferred to the woman jail in Bangkok until the child had a certain age. Many woman in that jail.

I was hospitalized in urgency last year with high fever, losing conciousness, a.o. symptoms. After about 2 hours of testing by different doctors, it was diagnosed that Galstones were blocking my Bladder. I stayed at the hopsital 9 days. During my stay at the hospital, I got an offer for Laparoscopy (4 days stay at the hospital) for 25,000 THB. My doctor gave his VETO on this surgery and it was not carried out. The hospital was the Fort Suranaree in Korat.

I posted long time ago a similat question as I have put money in a Thai bank for my Visa extension and want to move the money out of Thailand now with minimal losses. I contacted DeeMoney and raised the question. Their answer was: - How much is the fee and other expenses to move these funds? : The transfer free fee is THB 133.75 Nett per time per transaction.The transfer free fee is the flat fee rate. - Will the funds be moved directly from Thailand to Belgium or will the funds first be converted to Thai Baht on the withdrawing and from Thai baht to Euro on the transfert to Europe? : We transfer the money from Thai Baht to currency as per the recipient's country.For Belgium is available for a Euro currency.The payment will settle by your Thai Mobile Banking application at the end of process. So, that means that they will do 2 exchanges before shipping out the funds to Belgium. A quick calculation: 50.000 Euro x 36.459 = 1.822.950 THB 1.822.950 ThB / 37,639 = 48,832 EUR Difference: 50,000 - 48,832 = 1.168 EUR This means that you lose 1.168 Euro (42.548 THB) in the transaction on top of the fees. Think about that before transferring your money to Thailand.

You seem to forget that she is pregnant.

The OP is about the way Thailand is heading to and not about how you make your payments. If you are happy with this evolution, skip this thread and move on to the next thread. But asking a Thai ID-Card number for every basic service is not a good evolution. - I want to look TV, can only after introducing your THAI id-card number, - I want to make a complaint, can only after introducing your THAI id-card number, More and more basic services are switching to the THAI id-card certification. The ATM's are being equiped with a THAI id-card reader and will soon allow any transaction ONLY if you have a THAI id-card. Many ASEANNOW members are posting about difficulties with opening a bank account in Thailand. Not a good move for the foreigners.

Untill 2011, I was paying all my bill's lile that. Mostly at the nearby 7/11. But after the big flooding, where all my bill's got lost I quit paying like this and started paying at my bank. The reason was that I NEVER skipped a payment but, after the big flooding, TOT started to ask for unpaid bills. Not only me, but several others in Korat. As my proof of payments were all destroyed, I had to pay the last 3 months again. That was the day I switched to TRUE and started to pay almost everything at the bank.

I was a True member since years, and practically had no problems with them. I am subsribed to their TrueMove package which offers a Fiber modem, a basic TrueVisions package and a free Sim Card for about 850 Bath. Last month, the problems started. Normally I get every month a bill in my postbox, which I can scan and pay by the bank. But last month, I got no "paper bill", only a SMS bill. Following the link on SMS, I was presented with a screen asking to enter a THAI ID-CARD number. As I am not a Thai citizen, I could not access my OWN BILL. Went to the True shop, and they told me that True is moving away from "Paper" bills and I should instead pay at their shop in the "money eating machines". I told the shop that I was not pleased with that "new" way of billing and if I didn't received a paper bill next month I would simply not pay. Last week, I wanted to look TV (foreign news channels) and when I turned the TV on, I was presented with the screen message "Enter your Thai ID-Card number" (see 1.jpg). As I am not a Thai citizen, I tried several others things. Like entering my Thai-citizen ID number which I had reaceived from the Morpho app (Vaccination). But everything was refused and they asked for the Thai ID-card number which was registrered with the TrueVision Card and which was registrered by the True technician (see 2.jpg). So, I tried to send an email asking for the ID number that was registrered with my TrueVision box. But I could not even send an email, because in order to complain I should enter, YES, a f....g Thai ID-card number. Will go look for another provider this week. .

Is a "Happy Ending" included in the massage? I feel always like heaven after the "Happy Ending". Not so much after the massage.

Even this all will not help you to avoid scammers. I ordered on Lazada an external harddisk, 2 terrabyte, filled with (Thai) movies and songs. A list of the movies and the songs was on the Lazada seller site. I ordered one, and after 4 days received the package. Before paying, I opened the package and took pictures of the items (External HD, USB cable, purse to store the disk, etc.) Connecting it to my spare-computer (no hard disk), I noticed directly the small amount of movie/songs. I ran a test program on the hard disk, and the program showed me the it was a 60gb hard disk on which the FAT was tampered to show 2 TB. Asked a refund from Lazada and showed the scam. Lazada connected with the seller, a lady who was selling the hard disk for a Chinese company and the seller gave me prompt a full refund asking me to give her a bad score as selling online was her only income.
