  1. The "supporting" documents are pretty much indentical. The thing to note is that the documents you get from the bank need to be done on the same day. So you need to get those again on the day of your appointment.
  2. Now I am confused. ^_^ The OP was posting for a friend in "Pak Chong" wanting to "border bounce to Cambodia". It was @Yagoda that had the "Cambodian long term visa". Correct?
  3. And this is what happens when you start to hand out free money. The queue of outstretched hands becomes infinitely long.
  4. After 7 days, they can fine you up to 5.000 baht. It is almost universally 2,000 baht, unless you pay the "not polite enough" tax.
  5. Based on the English writing of my first wife, I could easily tell she was from B1tchranistan.
  6. It is a slap in the face of the Thai people!!
  7. He does not have a lot to offer, compared to other players, but the push to exit China is a solid tailwind. Best make hay while the sun shines.
  8. He was out of the country, then decided to come back in?! He needs to go to jail for being stupid.
  9. And, as in my case, owners of the company also do not pay or qualify.
  10. So, he is no Raymond Reddington. Just 104 more to go...
  11. And, after this stimulation, the economy will still be in a shambles, but with raging inflation. Good times!
  12. Sounds like the dentist administered nitrous...
  13. The only abuse of press freedom in this instance is by China.
  14. In a three story townhouse with a drain pipe from the third floor to the ground floor that had no access, the maintenance guy had a "snake" that was able to run down the drain pipe and clean it out completely. It was excellent.
  15. I believe the word "masterminds" in this context is only "relative" to those doing the arresting...
  16. Are you sure the AI is not training you?
  17. Absolutely my experience. Thais in Isaan, for the most part, speak Thai just fine. They will often slip into the local dialect with friends and family, but they will speak Thai with you just fine. And could make for a fun time learning, as you will be exposed to both, as well as the wonders of Isaan (donning flame retardant undies...)
  18. No expert on the Kroner, but it looks like the same problem seen in other currencies - central banks and monetary policy. https://corporate.nordea.com/article/80791/nok-update-nok-will-remain-weak-for-now
  19. Please, do not. One thing I have learned in all those years of Wall Street is to listen. Because the best ideas come from the most unlikely places - and people. While many "quants" these days are PhD level mathematicians, there is so much about investing and speculating that cannot be summed up with math.
  20. Been working on WallStreet for over 30 years. Building real-time trading systems that leverage risk-arb and statistical anomalies.
  21. Came to meet a girl (in 2001), but fell in love with the country. I stay because I really like Thai people. As well as the food, the weather, the girls, the low cost of living, and the entertaining news.
  22. Investing is a long path that requires little time each week - maybe a few hours. Investing does not produce "a fortune" until a couple decades have passed and compounding performs its magic. Speculating, on the other hand, requires a full time commitment in order to produce "a fortune" in less than a decade. Many investment advisors are investing their own money for the long run. They are not speculators. While I agree that a large number of investment advisors are subpar, there are good ones who are worth their price.
