  1. No. Just paid cash.
  2. They are not criminals until they have been convicted in a court of law. Everyone in the US has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
  3. Didn't they Grandfather everyone who was already on an extension to the previous financial requirement last time there was an increase?
  4. A cardboard box works as well.
  5. The article claims the deal was signed during the Singapore Airshow. The last show was in Feb 2024 and the next is in Feb 2026. Seems this deal had nothing to do with Trump's tariffs. The Thais seem to be playing Trump.
  6. How often do you call? I call my bank three or four times a year and just use the 003 prefix with AIS. For relatives we all have WhatsApp.
  7. Ford Ranger Raptor price in Thailand 1.8 million baht, price in UK 2.5 million baht. Depends which country you are leaving in order to retire here and what vehicle you want to buy.
  8. So a wealthy country with a consumer base of 350 million people has a trade deficit with a poor country with a consumer base of 70 million people? No surprise there.
  9. Got a big garden. 30 mango trees, 10 jackfruit trees, several citrus trees, plums, guava, santol, fig and numerous bananas. More than enough excersise just trying to keep it relatively tidy.
  10. My bank never used to need the card to be activated until last year, and it can only be activated in a UK ATM for that bank (Lloyds). Didn't find out till after my sister had forwarded it to me. PIN numbers have also changed after being the same for 40 odd years. Had to cancel the card and get another one sent to her. She activated it and I told her to keep hold of the card this time. All the card details are on my bank app so don't really need the physical card with me.
  11. If you think nothing has changed in decades then you have not actually been here for decades. Monumental changes since I first visited in 1988.
  12. I bought one from Lazada awhile back, came with a zinc strip. Charged via USB. I used it to make a couple of battery packs for a cordless hedge trimmer. Picture below as the seller I got it from no longer exists. I also got the connecting strips from Lazada.
  13. Thailand is no different to anywhere else. If I legally owe tax here I pay it, if not I don't. Do you pay tax on your substantial Thai bank accounts?
