Didn't they Grandfather everyone who was already on an extension to the previous financial requirement last time there was an increase? -

THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
what apps do you recommend for calling overseas from Thailand.
alanrchase replied to stupidfarang's topic in IT and Computers
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. -

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. -
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.

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.

Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
alanrchase replied to Robert_Smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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. -
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.

Just buy some toilet cleaner. ARO brand in Makro is 22% hydrochloric acid. Make sure you dilute it as at 22% it melts Scotchbrite. Vixol is a name brand at about 11% and Tesco had their own brand at about 14% I think.

Can Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Expect Fair Legal Treatment?
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Not really true is it? I was stopped one day for licence check. Handed my licence over and the cop waved it at the queue of Thais waiting to be issued tickets saying, "the foreigner can get one so why can't you lot". -

Just ask for an FST for each transfer, they are free and are all the TRD want to see.
