  1. Land prices vary from place to place. Asking here what the price is in different locations will not help you validate land in your area. You could drive around your area looking for "for sale" signs and can to check prices relevant to you
  2. Here's my original reply. Try to read it all. However, it is not legal even for Thais to carry a gun unless they have a permit. Most Thai people with gun permits have a permit to own and keep a gun at a registered address which is usually either at home or the workplace. Permits to actually carry a gun are very rare, come with so many restriction that makes it just about worthless to legally carry a gun. Moreover, the government recently announced that no new such permits will be issued for the time being and many of the existing permits are being withdrawn.
  3. How is it different from what I wrote?
  4. Anyone CAN carry a gun if they have hands and the strength to do so. However, it is not legal even for Thais to carry a gun unless they have a permit.

  5. Years ago my bank offered me to keep incoming transfers in the original currency which was mostly USD in my business account . I can keep it as foreign currency for up to 364 days and then it would be transferred to the savings account as THB. When I asked if I could use these funds to transfer overseas the answer was it would have to be exchanged to THB first at the bank's buying rate, then converted to USD using the bank's selling rate...
  6. That's normal. And the fact the seller will show you the docs on a video call but not send you picture makes sense as well because you can manipulate photos and use them wrongly. Make the call, make sure the owner has all relevant docs, you can also ask him to show the car and then match the reg. Number to they docs. Eventually you'd have to go there in person to see the car, or send someone on your behalf
  7. If you have a first class insurance it shows how much you'll get in case of total loss or if the car being stolen. Take about 10% off this number and that's as a rule of thumb what you might get for the truck. It might be lower if the model is obsolete.
  8. My question wasn't about the differences between the different techniques\massages. I know the difference. I'm looking for a practitioner of reflexology in Chiang Mai. If he\she is good and recommended I don't really care where they studied. So, do you know one? Do you recommend him\her?
  9. Lately I prefer the sound of my laptop, so I hook it to the TV using HDMI cable but have the sound out of the laptop which is clearer. If it is noisy I connect my hearing aids to the laptop and that improves.
  10. I'm not sure you're right about it, especially since the 🆔 number used on the license is your passport number which changes every time you renew your passport.
  11. Basically if it expired over 1 year ago you don't renew the old license, you are actually starting fresh. If you have a valid license from your country (if a non English speaking country you also need an IDP) you can convert that license to Thai license which is a bit simpler and easier than starting fresh.
  12. Does anyone know / can recommend and ACTUAL REFLEXOLOGY clinic in Chiang Mai? Not foot massage - reflexology. Thanks,
  13. I've had my personal account at kbank for many many years. Main business account with them as well, but also tried other banks for the business. I like kbank the best.
  14. I guess some countries will say no as it costs $1B to join....
  15. This all should be done by the hearing aid. Modern hearing aids don't just amplify sounds, they are set according to what you refer to as the sound map of your ears and correct the needed frequencies as per that "map". If you're wearing hearing aids and still can't hear properly it would mean you are either using off the shelf low end aids or your hearing aids were no configured properly.
