Why didn't the captain of the Titanic think of that?

Maybe that will help all of those who registered a post-paid sim in their wife's name... Hope so.

A consideration that increases in importance as one ages.

And AI will actually improve over time.

Oh dear. Nighttime robbery. He will regret that mistake.

Another example of why it is smarter to distribute assets before you are dead.

SO correct. The channel has 2.5k subscribers. Almost NO one was watching those videos.... until now.

Capitalism is not "failing". Governments are.

AIS in BKK. US speeds generally run around 300Mbs. For the past few days, it has been struggling to deliver 100Mbs.

I walk out of shops that do not take cash. I can understand a few setups where this might be justifiable. I still walk out of those. Life is surely going to get more difficult for me over time...

Not that I have seen, and not for me. I do not go to a market to save money. I go there to enjoy something that is unique and entertaining for me. Seems a lot of Thai people agree with my sentiment.

I agree. Years ago, I needed to move a small amount of items from one condo to the next. I found a local who charged me 500 THB to use his truck for the afternoon. He came, I loaded everything into the back of the truck, he drove to the new place, I unloaded my stuff.

The absolute worst case is that immigration rejects the application. When this happens, the passport will be stamped with 7 days to leave Thailand. In other words, you get a guaranteed 7 day extension, if not the full 30.

It is the "western mindset" that we (if you are over 40 yo) have been brainwashed with - ownership. If you are young, and can leverage a mortgage, then okay. If you are older, it makes less sense. Not only could the return on the investment of the capital exceed the cost of rent, but.... liquidity! Often overlooked, and often far more important than returns.

Yeah. It wouldn't have anything to do with the number of incoming tourists jumping to the millions.

With all of the very affordable and immediately available means of transportation here (at least in any metro area like Pattaya), I cannot understand why anyone would operate a vehicle under the influence.

The competition, which is fierce, combined with their inability to wait for the reward, is what prevents that.

This. You cannot remove the bribery without paying a living wage, which the current salaries are not.

I bought my "model 2" 6 years ago, and, as I look on Lazada, that model is long forgotten. They are at "model 4" now. You may be able to find one used. I recently gave my extra purifier (moved into smaller place) to my maid.

I have been quite happy with my Xiaomi Air Purifier Model 2. I paid about 1,800 THB. An important consideration is filter replacement, and I have had no troubles for years getting Xiaomi filters. They have cheaper models, but not sure of coverage: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/xiaomi-youpin-usb-i5043681774-s21326509670.html

Do you see this addressed in the DTA? It may not actually be considered a pension, so it might need to be specifically mentioned the way that pensions are.

Charlie don't surf.

Not sure about "long term funds" overriding the requirement. That may be possible. But in my case, I kept the cash in a safe to avoid having to file a FACTA. The transfer out and back cost me about $230 (spreads and fees). Not terrible.

The funds must be shown to have come from abroad. I explained to the officer at CW that I had worked here for 9 years and saved up that money. The officer explained "That is good. Send it to the US, then send it back to Thailand." No alternative was even suggested (other than the envelope option, which I declined).

1970s I believe Along with checking for elephantiasis.
