  1. That's what they do at our condo in Bangkok. Seems to work OK.
  2. Maybe using the Gemini AI algos again?
  3. Looking on the bright side, at least she missed the concert.
  4. You are asking us to remember a specific exchange rate to the nearest cent 26 years ago? I can remember it pegged at 23.0THB in 1983 if that helps.
  5. If your only home address is in Thailand the only option appears to be Wise rather than Revolut?
  6. Oh yes I did that also. Proof of ID and proof of address in Thailand. For latter they DHLd me a letter to sign and return so DHL proved my address! I think PP had to be notarised by Thai lawyer. This all happened about 4-5 years ago as part of new KYC document requirements.
  7. My KPlus app shows the MEA current bill at any time I use the app and I just pay it there. Simplicity itself.
  8. I opened a new NatWest international account in the CI with no fees and no minimum balance last year from Thailand, but I did already have an account there that I closed down and moved the money from as they were about to introduce fees on that old account. The new account is called an Instant Saver account. Meets my needs. I think only rules to abide by are proof I am still alive. It does not offer auto bill payments, but comes with internet banking so I can send the GBP anywhere I like from here inc to Wise GBP account at no cost per transfer also. Good luck with the East Lancs bus pass.
  9. IOM or CI is easier than Asia isn't it? I have an international GBP account in CI with no fees or minimum bal required.
  10. Yeah a common problem here, the MIL bitcoin mining in the outhouse.
  11. Racking my brains to understand why this is related?
  12. Can you explain further please? You mean sending EUR to THB is cheaper fees than USD to THB using Wise? I have not tried that myself so reason for asking.
  13. and yet you apparently just had to watch the show. Are you aware that you can change the channel? I guess the humor went right over you then. The VPOE meme was actually in the press, so would need to read another paper! 🙂
  14. I have always put my own name down and its accepted.
  15. I've been filling in that form for the past FOUR years at CW since 2020 to be exact. I haven't seen this exact format before though which looks the same as I have word for word except the English is done in a different font in the OP attachment.
  16. 70% of the universe is made of it 🙂
  17. Those all sound like pretty sensible reasons and planning. Except the bit about hand carrying 5M THB in cash from Bangkok!
  18. I often thought the service rates charged to condo unit holders was by the square meter? That's what happens in our condo. Is this written in the condominium act or just accepted as the correct way to cost services? It seems fair to me, but a work colleague of mine said his condo in Bangkok has different rates per square meter depending what floor of the building the unit is on, the higher floors charge more. Curious?
  19. Why not just rent?
  20. When you see charts of the S&P 500 dating back to the 1920s, they are typically based on a technique known as "backtesting." Backtesting is a method of testing a strategy or index using historical data to see how it would have performed in the past.
  21. This was discussed on another forum yesterday, here's the stats.
