  1. Seriously, you don't think the current advice for every family to raise two chickens is a positive step in that direction ? (????????????)
  2. Perhaps Queen Elizabeth II can honor her at the Platinum Jubillee for '7' years of service to humanity.
  3. Paid for a car last year....590,000 baht from my Kasikorn app. You may be confusing the default amounts on the account vs what is possible if you change them. This year I also paid 250,000 baht or something similar for Dental Implant bill...all online transfers from my app.
  4. Well at least until they run thru all their cash and put up a GoFundMe page
  5. Let's see ..I'm not what would be classified as a high earning, big spending foreigner...but...in the past 3 years I helped with down payment on a townhouse (where I now live and maintain), I bought 2 cars, I bought two insurance policies (one for my health and one for my extension), and of course I spend money for food, domestic travel, etc etc. But tired old expats like me...out....big spending high flyers in....5555
  6. Best advice is to come and experience Thailand for a few months and see if you like it enough to relocate. Rental/purchase can be cheap or expensive...it's all up to what lifestyle you want to pay for.
  7. Yes, you can deposit it...might take a while to clear before you can access funds but the bank would be able to tell you more..
  8. Hmmm....that's odd, how ever did they get past the crack border guards ?
  9. It took six months for delivery of your car ? or you have been driving with red plates for 6 months ? The Residence Certificate is so that the auto dealer can register your vehicle with the DLT and get real plates/pay tax etc.
  10. Yes...if I had had any planned event. In Thailand, we don't have Christmas except for my Thai GF liking to pretend we need to go out to a nice restaurant for Xmas dinner (at which she'll no doubt order from the Thai food portion of the menu, infuriating me because the SomTam and Khanom Jeen cost 10x what they should)
  11. Shipping to Portugal or the UK is gonna add up....
  12. I tried several times to validate my account but once it failed for whatever reason I could never proceed because it kept telling me my email was already attached to an existing account, which was not usable because I could not validate it. Lazada is wonderful compared to that mess.
  13. Not sure how one can quantify 'better' but Schwab has been absolutely excellent for me. From $15 flat fee no hassle online SWIFT transfers , to rebating foreign ATM fees, and outstanding customer service, I'm not sure how Capital One can top that.
  14. You want a Non-O Visa (90 days) or a 1 year extension of your permission to stay based upon marriage ?
  15. Well the coffee shop at the foot of Khao Takiab charges 400 baht for a coconut water...that's pretty premium
  16. I would take a serious look at Breville machines. I did this research last year when my GF's mom was thinking about turning her little food shop into a coffee/drink/dessert shop instead, but never carried thru. They seem to have good international reputation and have the all-in-one machines that are quite popular and well reviewed. https://www.brevillethailand.com/en/category/9461/138/coffee-machine-amp-grinder
  17. Use whatever the manufacturer recommends
