  1. I can login to my KBank mobile app, and wire $50,000 USD to my account in the US no problem. I can wire that amount every day until the account is empty.
  2. The problem with estimating revenue is that it is not just a question of views. The ad revenue depends a lot of the types of ads your videos attract. For example, during the crypto craze (as FTX was approaching disaster), channels with trading content were getting disproportionate ad revenue because crypto scammers were willing to pay a lot more for ads presented to people who considered themselves traders. Many of these content creators reported on how their revenue dropped precipitously after FTX went belly up. So, the revenue you can generate will depend a great deal on the advertisers and how they value your audience.
  3. Survey says..... absolutely average.
  4. "De-Dollarization" is a psyop.
  5. Have I ever met one? Hell, I have funded several! And, as you say, lipstick on a pig might look nice... ...but wait for that "oink".
  6. Sorry. I should have been more specific. I saw in Thong Lor, Bangkok.
  7. Give him solid advice on the pitfalls to watch out for. Keep an eye out for signs there is something terribly wrong. Then let him get on with learning about life...
  8. It seems to always be available at Villa Market.
  9. You do not even meet the truly hot women...
  10. The new hub of dead horse beaters.
  11. An article on Bangkok Post clearly shows that they are discussing taxing worldwide income. Currently, only two countries on the planet do this. The USA and Eritrea. This is a desperate act by the Thai government, and demonstrates that things are not good.
  12. It is interesting. The gold sitting in my safe is not asking me to fill out any forms, nor is it reporting itself to any government agency...
  13. Because you cannot purchase quality cigarettes, American Spirit for example, in Thailand. Why on earth the monopoly cannot produce a quality cigarette is beyond me.
  14. i have a Bangkok Bank account set up specifically for my (US) social security deposits. While I have no debit card for that account, I am able to login to my account online and transfer money directly to my KBank account, which has a debit card that I use for spending and payments.
  15. I have used the same agent for 10 years. If you can afford an agent, it is recommended.
  16. I recommend the retirement visa. Avoid the marriage visa, unless you cannot afford the 800K deposit for the retirement visa.
  17. Thank you for following up with this information. When I did my passport in March of 2023, this option was not available. I actually preferred just sending the bank draft, but this is roughly the same effort.
  18. I was (last year) able to pay for my new passport using Pay.gov. I was using a US Credit Card to make that payment. This was the craziest part of the entire process: You need to go to a Thai bank (they recommend KBank or Bangkok Bank, but any bank will do). You show them a document that the embassy provides you that explains to the bank that you need a "Bank Draft" (I cannot remember the exact name, but it is the equivalent of a "cashier's check" in the US). You must send this bank draft with your application to cover the return postage. There is no alternative for this. You cannot send them a return envelope. That will bin it.
  19. Why didn't the captain of the Titanic think of that?
  20. Maybe that will help all of those who registered a post-paid sim in their wife's name... Hope so.
  21. A consideration that increases in importance as one ages.
  22. Oh dear. Nighttime robbery. He will regret that mistake.
