  1. I think Wise is not trustable company. Many banks do not want to work with Wise, and many bad reviews from customers. I do not dare to send money with Wise.
  2. For me, the pink card is really beneficial. For opening a bank and brokerage account, obtaining an address certificate, TM 30, free entrance, or with lower fees in some Thai parks and facilities, and buying government bonds. Do not need to take a passport with me as Thais accept it as ID for foreigners.
  3. Well, Thailand's economy is really bad . China will make it even worse. I only hope THB will be much weaker soon.
  4. Business with Cambodia is not "small".Food,farmacy, electronics, oil, sugar, rubber, and refined oil products are some of the products that have been hugely impacted. Just check on new business reports on the Thai stock market!
  5. This isn't good for the Thai economy. Many Thai companies export to Cambodia.
  6. There are many more scams in Vietnam than in Cambodia, where the "Easy visa " is great and cheap. I like Siam riep. I was mugged in Phnom Penh, and it is a perilous place to live. Thailand is a much more secure place with much better infrastructure. Alcohol is cheap in Cambodia, but food is better in Thailand. I think Cambodia is cheaper than Thailand, cos. currency, and you can pay with dollars anywhere.
  7. I do not know about you, but when I was recently in Jakarta, it was more expensive than Thailand.
  8. This problem exists in the USA and the EU and almost everywhere in the capitalist world.
  9. They cut the tourist numbers already. If they want quality tourists, they must change many things, like pollution, garbage, drug abuse, scams, quality construction, which will not collapse in an earthquake,etc.
  10. I tried many times, but nobody wants to cover pre-conditions in Thailand!
  11. Nothing new. Hamas does not agree to release all hostages.IDF must destroy Hamas.
  12. As I know, we (foreigners) are not tax-free for foreign income in 2024. I filed my tax form for 2024 in the Jomtien Revenue Department. I had to go 3 times to give them more information and documents about my source of income(retirement), with monthly specifications (electronic signature accepted). I had to provide them with all my bank accounts and remittances from abroad in 2024.I had to provide them with doc. that I pay taxes in my home country! I had to fill out a form in which they asked me many tax-related questions. Now I am still waiting for my tax return (if any). I paid taxes on dividend income in 2024.
  13. Making an appointment online can cause you only problems.They do not care in the office.They sent us back to collect more documents two to three times. Annoying.
  14. The MR of my leg I paid 6600 BHT. In a private hospital same MR was 40000-50000 BHT. Besides, I was waiting 2 hours in Bang Lamung hospital for an X-ray for only 3000 BHT(leg and arm). Yes, you must wait, and you will save a lot of money! In a private hospital X-ray is from $223-400$ X 2 as far as I know.
