  1. Schwab international wire transfer are free from Schwab with a small charge from the Thai Bank. It takes a couple days Wire dollars from Your end and it will be converted based on or about Bangkok Banks TT rate,
  2. I live in hua Hin and since covid we almost never see any police anywhere. A sighting is so infrequent we notice and comment on it.
  3. Hua Hin has very few trash cans around unlike Pranburi with an abundance of cans all over the town. Also many areas in town are impromptu dumping sites infested with the many street dogs ripping the cans and garbage apart never to be picked up. I like living in Hua Hin for my sons school, the two malls and easy access to Pranbury parks and beaches. Town parks, public spaces, and basic public services ( garbage, road repair, ect,) in Hua Hin are sorely lacking. My advice is get used to it, or move on. It aint changing any time soon.
  4. No love for monkeys. Love to see people shooting anyting at them in Prachuap or Hua hin.
  5. What/where is "your shop" and what bikes do you refer to when you speak of "headache's of trying to fix their problems. What bikes can't you find parts for? Just interested
  6. Try Suansin Garden Resort Hotel https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g668419-d2583462-Reviews-Suansin_Garden_Resort_Hotel-Tak_Tak_Province.html#/media/2583462/170495767:p/?albumid=101&type=0&category=101 for overnight roadside stay. I have never been myself but have referral from a reliable source that has been doing that trip for years because I always have the same question as you. Where is a good place to stay on that trip about half way. Jsut call if you want to book room. Good luck
  7. I had an implant done a Bangkok hospital in Hua Hin and do not recommend, way over priced. I go to Nana for my family and my son's braces and have no issues. Good luck with your search.
  8. I noticed the sign the last time I rolled into town and thought it was perfect for Pai. The fact that is is slowley turing into another noisey thai bar town, not so much. Pai is well on the way to loosing most of it's quirky charm from the amount of bars now downtown. I lived right down town and ran a buisness for 5 years and know many of the locals that own homes downtown that can no longer live in their own homes or rent out resorts that hey have held for years. Pounding bass beat all night and smoke filling their homes from the bars on either side of where they sleep. Outsider's running bar businesses is driving them from their homes and killing local business. The old house on the hill in Pai
  9. all I know is it is huge hassle for My Thai wife in Thailand. Here is info from Schwab estate department. Schwab International Estate Specialist Dove Hagan dove.hagan AT schwab.com Use Skype (888) 297-0244 EXT. 53745-Fax 888-526-7252-Tel +1 (415) 667-8400 How to claim money from Schwab Schwab will require the following documents for the Joint and beneficiary accounts. 1. Copy of Probate or Succession Document issued by the Court naming the Executor/ Administrator of the estate. Make sure we get Steven gets named as controller of property for U.S. accounts. 2. Copy of the Executor/ Administrator’s valid Passport 3 *IRS Transfer Certificate*. The IRS requires you to send all the below information to: Internal Revenue Service Center Attn: E&G, Stop 824G 7940 Kentucky Drive Florence, KY 41042–2915 1. (a) Report of the Death of an American Citizen form U.S. Embassy (b) death certificate (c) copy of the photo page of the David’s U.S. passport. Write a letter saying you are the executor of the will and swear that this is the whole complete list of David’s assets and bring to Notary at a lawyers office and have them notarize it. 3.

The executor/administrator will be required to reach out directly to the IRS to apply for the IRS Transfer Certificate. It takes IRS six to nine months from the time the IRS receives all necessary documentation to process and return.
  10. Some extra information is there are no beneficiaries allowed on schawb international brokerage accounts so anyone inheriting from these accounts will have to go through probate. Even thai wife who is on on a joint account with me only receives %25 of that account upon my death before the rest has to go through both thai probate and a release form from any taxes due from the IRS. quite complicated. All my Ira accounts are still allowed beneficiaries. Pain to open account but Service is fantastic. No fees on atm or international money transfers.
  11. macbook air 29,600Baht now much cheaper than usa or canada. Excellent computerwith a long life at a bargain. https://www.studio7thailand.com/th/p/apple-macbook-air-13-m1-chip-8c-cpu7c-gpu8gb256gb-space-grey-2020-mgn63tha_z32n2v?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArLyuBhA7EiwA-qo80DyhtTscJssBXP-zT867vdNenQk-Q2wFpYVVMCxJ5r_R_BSfOKWO3RoCV0cQAvD_BwE
  12. I had it done in Prachuap Khiri Khan government hospital. It was about $40 with excellent profession service. Bangkok hospital in Hua Hin was something like $1000, more than in U.S.A.
  13. We already have a random man fighting shark statue on the bottom of soi 94 two blocks down from market villa. This is only the top half in phot
  14. I have had both the square and round pumps installed next to the house. The constant pulse from the round tank drives me nuts so I much prefer the constant250w pressure square pump you have pictures and just make sure there are no leaks in the system. Good luck
