Thailand needs to calm down it's rush to EV !
Digitalbanana replied to TorquayFan's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Lol, range anxiety leading to charge rage. Who'd have thunk it. Back to my gas guzzling SUV to head off on a 900km drive with the family, piss stops all coordinated to maximum efficiency, no need to worry about ordering a vacant fuel pump the night before.- 266 replies

VPN service expats use in Thailand
Digitalbanana replied to docinbangkok's topic in IT and Computers
Agreed. I posted this question on the official Reddit VPN forum and the question got banned. >>Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/(insert name of your favorite VPN service company here). >>Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose. I was simply asking what I asked here? Prices are only 3$ / month for first 25 months then move to 8$ if you extend each year. I prefer to re-sign with a new email account to counter the deception. -
VPN service expats use in Thailand
Digitalbanana replied to docinbangkok's topic in IT and Computers
Just looking at today's VPN prices at one provider.. an example below where the first 25 months are half the price it seems. * So are people opening new accounts every 25 months to avoid the doubling of fees by simply extending? Whats the business model here, why would VPN companies expect people to pay more for being a loyal customer and extending membership? -

So it does not matter which Transfer Objective you chose, you never got asked for a WP like another poster.... I will give it a go. -

KBank International Transfers
Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
So we must say YES to Income from working in Thailand otherwise transfers are not allowed and to avoid being pestered further for a WP what transfer objectives are allowed? I am trying to transfer to an overseas investing account, but that option is not shown on the menu? What do you recommend to allow multiple trouble free transfers for someone on a retirement extension? -
I have never done a transfer OUT of Thailand in my life, but it looks easy on the KBank web site and seems to cost 250THB to send any USD equivalent amounts - I am trying to send to the US. The online process specifically asks to check a box stating "Income earned from working in Thailand" and if I don't check that it will not process the wire. So I simply check it and it looks like the wire will go, but I haven't tried yet. Question: Why do they ask I check this box, is it just to show the receiver all taxes are paid? I don't really know where the money came from - its been collecting over the years in my account from all over the world including working in Thailand at times years ago? Do people simply check "Income earned from working in Thailand" to enable these transfers to go even if they never worked in Thailand?

Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in Forum Support Desk
OK, but why would the headlines still appear on my X app on Android and not on desktop PC using browser? -

90 Day Online Reporting Window
Digitalbanana replied to hotandsticky's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Why is that a problem? I understood if its pending its in the immigration queue - out of our control? I thought I read on here somewhere CW is taking weeks to process these at the moment, so their problem not ours? -
Whats gone wrong with the Asean Now tweets?
Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in Forum Support Desk
Tried it on another PC with Linux and fresh install of Firefox, same problem on X - no explanatory text about the tweets, photos only. On Android devices, the Tweets look OK (as in your posts above). -
Is this perhaps a Skype related problem only or do you get bad microphone on other apps also? For me I cannot figure out how to get Skype mic sound to work on a laptop these days whereas all my other sound apps work fine. I resorted to making Skype calls from an Android phone instead!

Whats gone wrong with the Asean Now tweets?
Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in Forum Support Desk
Well I am confused if it is just me. I tried it on multiple browsers on my PC, went to another PC with a clean install of Win11 and made a new X account, and still cannot get the text as you have using Edge browser. All my other received tweets from other accounts look normal. Very strange. -
Whats gone wrong with the Asean Now tweets? In the past the tweet would at least include a semblance of what the subject was about before we clicked on a link if it interested us. In the two examples below from today (and they are all like this now), there is no clue of subject content at all on the link. The second tweet is just a photo only with no information at all. Why would anyone want to subscribe to that on X?

If you are going to tell us its been running 46 years you must be referring to Noel Edmonds, Angela Rippon and Tom Coyne!

Nationwide cuts on products and services to boost Thailand economy
Digitalbanana replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Shouldn't the subject title be Nationwide Price Cuts rather than Nationwide Cuts?
