Credit Card in Thailand
What's an AT card? I was given a perfectly functioning Platinum Visa Credit card by KBank. No job needed here. All you need is a bank deposit with them to the amount of credit you plan to use.

Thai immigration online 90 day reporting system
I just had my 90 day online report entered online using the web site on Monday and then today waiting 5 days got the rejected answer without any explanation from CW. So now I have to go there in person and waste a whole day getting there and back. I have used online reports successfully for several years and I am still on the same passport, visa and home address that I own. The only thing slightly different this time is I traveled internationally four times over the past year so my last online 90 day report was just approved over a year ago on 2 July and I haven't needed to do one again until now.

In the market for a new PC Keyboard
You can buy keyboards online for under 150THB, I just bought one and thought nothing of it for the price if its junk I would toss it. Turns out as per reviews online its just fine and for the money cannot be beat!

Thailand forcing Cashless Society
Must depend where you look? Where we live there are more shops and ATMs than I have ever seen, even as many now use smart phones to pay for stuff.

Very very basic info needed.
A desktop, the new mini desktops are smaller than a laptop! Fit to the back of any screen. Cheaper alternative if you don't need a laptop. I just bought one for 5000THB and it runs as fast as my 50,000THB laptop!

Have you installed Windows 11 ?
Its had a GUI for many years now, as easy to follow on Windows. Yes, but only with an enabling application like 'Wine' installed, and the Windows programs may not run as smooth or at all. Easy with many apps coming with the system for free or downloadable free. That said I dumped my Linux PC (the hardware was 10 years old) for a newer machine and it runs Win11 and overall I find Win11 more user friendly and suited to my background of using Windows based apps for many years.

Krungthai 0% Savings account!
I phoned head office KBank about refund of the WHT after giving the bank branch my Thai tax ID#, but they said there was no option for refund or any way they could help as it is now the law. Not sure if a second opinion needed, but with the amounts involved I am not bothered.

MYUSA.COM For shipping to Thailand
I didn't find that case. I have previously used Shipito because Amazon only delivered my laptop product to a US address at the time. That went well, I got a tax free laptop to Thailand from Shipito with 7% import fees ontop of my declared cost and Fedex fee, about 120USD extra in my case door to door inside 5 days. The next time Amazon was shipping direct to Thailand so I chose them for the next laptop. I had to pay Amazon taxes and delivery fees for Thailand without choice of courier and it was an extra 200USD. The courier Amazon appointed was UPS and on arrival at BKK cargo airport UPS had a policy of not releasing anything until I went in person, or appointed rep, with passport as ID, so that wasted some time and would have been very inconvenient had I been based upcountry. Next time I will revert to Shipito.

Who is responsible for the balcony railing on a condo?
In our condo the outside walls of our unit along with the balcony walls are part of the main building and responsibility of the community to keep maintained. Several times I have seen the condo building painters covering the outer walls and balcony walls.

What type of Laptop do you use?
Word, Excel and Powerpoint and web browsing that the o/p mentioned run very nicely on latest Win11. I just bought a 5000THB mini desktop PC which is smaller than my laptop and comes with WIn11 Pro. Excellent performance and value for money. The latest Windows just gets better IMHO.
