Telecom Giants Unite as True Corp After Merger
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They definitely were some years back. But in the last couple of years I've found them to be quite good. DTAC always had excellent support, so this may improve them further... Overall, compared to 10-20 years ago, seems all telecoms upped their game in support quality, as I doubt I've gotten more patient and forgiving in this time... -
Telecom Giants Unite as True Corp After Merger
tomazbodner replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Many people have more than 1 phone, and with different telecoms. So if I am subscriber to AIS and True, I should count as +1 in subscribers for both of them, although being only 1 person... Not sure how they count TV. I have their fiber+TrueVisions+mobile SIM as a one package. So I guess they'd count all 3 as one subscription. But the other phone number from them is a separate subscription, so they'd count me as 2 subscribers, I guess. -
Paying Tax on Overseas Investments

Meaning if I sell shares in NASDAQ and transfer the amount to my bank account, I don't need to declare anything? -
Paying Tax on Overseas Investments
tomazbodner replied to 2009's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
In same boat. Waiting to see if I get some answers. There's W-8BEN form that needs to be sent to your broker to confirm you're a foreign tax resident, else "your payments will be subject to additional backup withholding". Looking at my statements, there are definitely taxes deducted from dividends. In my case I don't need to pay dividend taxes directly, as they are handled by my broker (Merrill Lynch) and just show on statements as deductions. And no, as foreign tax resident, with that form on file, you are exempt from capital gains taxes in the US. The rest - waiting for answers. -
I get it from neighbour flight attendant that flies off to US nearly weekly. But I've bought from Lazada in the past. Same stuff, similar expiry dates. I usually get these gummies, as they taste good also: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/vitafusion-sleep-well-3mg-60-gummies-i3127363397-s11634214272.html

Worst Joke Ever 2025
tomazbodner replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
And then there's priviledge just above it.. Privilege is the correct spelling of the word that means a special advantage. Priviledge is an incorrect spelling of the word. Privilege is a word that is commonly misspelled because it sounds like there could possibly be a “d” before the “g” when people are speaking. https://oneminuteenglish.org/en/privilege-or-priviledge/ -

They should introduce this on land border crossings so people actually notice. -
"Need to stay 3 days in Malaysia" scam
tomazbodner replied to JoseThailand's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Well that's the difference between Malaysia and Thailand. There are far better quality tourists that visit Malaysia than Thailand. I no longer need to go there for visas and such, but go instead for relaxation, and it's a much nicer and quieter place to be than most tourist places in Thailand. -
What long-term visas are still available now?

Looking for ready-to-cook pizza crusts
tomazbodner replied to Cutty Shark's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Villa carries Maison Jean Phillipe bakery stuff, including their pizza crust, which is excellent. https://www.facebook.com/MaisonJeanPhilippe/posts/from-today-we-have-a-few-new-items-in-the-freezer-section-of-villa-market-suk-33/2791627240963927/ This is googling it, but I've bought it from Villa Market near Emporium before. Previously Pinsa Pizzeria was offering them in Ramkhamhaeng but seems that place closed down. I had them from Pinsa as well, and they were amazing. But note that these can cost as much as a pizza from a pizza chain. Not rubbish like Foodland's or Macro's frozen section offering. -

Or even cheaper if you got proper visa so you don't have to run around trying to game the system. -
Concerned impact on PR due to a cruise
tomazbodner replied to Kinnock's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
+662 572 8500 or [email protected]. I would try to check if the blue book is with you or if not and you're certain that you forgot it at home, have someone send it over to you, before you return. Missing stamp "which you didn't notice" is much easier to explain than missing book altogether. -

Your passport and blue book will both need to be stamped, and since you'll have a big "Non-Quota Immigrant Visa" in the passport, should any mess happen on the way, it can be sorted out with immigration upon your return to Swampy or at Chaeng Wattana. I had a missing stamp in blue book, only passport was stamped, and on return to airport (I went to tourist police as I didn't know where else to ask) someone from immigration got called over, took my passport and came back with that sorted out. Still, I would go to the ones handling your immigration stuff and ask whether you can handle this by yourself or ask to talk to person who would do it, to handle it separately from the rest. As long as your non-quota immigrant visa and endorsement are still valid, you should not have an issue but both books need to be stamped in and out. -
HCMC residents refuse to leave deteriorating apartment building

Alternative to moving is to stay in this building until it collapses on them. Then they might get a permanent home 6 ft under...
