To clarify, are they saying that at the end of jan I will not be able to go to the url www.ktb site on my laptop. But still use the ktb next app on my phone. Is this correct?

Is this post for real? OP please read the footnote above of member brianthainess.

What do you mean by this statement??? Closing where?

same with that farang selling chicken on that busy road. Was in the news

The most accurate and sensible comment on this thread

Are you trying to stay at nana plaza short time hotel. It might be the problem. Select a higher class option. You will be fine

In the interest of full disclosure can you tell us if you have a diving business on the island or any link to one?

How do you know he was healthy? He could have had heart disease or anything else. Heart attacks are common near 50

The owner of this land paid money years ago to have it raised. During the wet season last year it was all still under water but thats another story. The water level can go quiet high in the wet season on that river Now it seems he has built an amazing state of the art retainer wall on the river bank. A great effort with no expenses spared. In any western country nanny state the neighbours would grass you up to the local authorities within 5 minutes and a massive fine would be liable. Also probably the tabloid press would run with it. Name in the paper for sure. But here its just ignored or is it just ignorance on an epic scale. Now it seems that other people are dumping stuff on his land. Another day TIT

This is exactly the problem. What is wrong with Thailand. Dont the M pass people know that MFLOW doesnt bloody well work in their systems. <deleted>

RIP. Should have named them

hahahaha America is a broken country. Jan 6 last year radicals storming the capital. Mass shootings a common thing Police state of the world. IRS out of control. Cant even open a bank account here Need I go on?? Thanks to god Im not American.

Sorry but can I clarify something. When you say 'foreign currency accounts' are you saying having a USD account at a thai bank? But Thai baht accounts have 1 million protection. Is this what you are saying? thanks

I dont know but that rule at GSB might have changed now. I was in this week and they said I could download the app on my iphone and I signed the form. The manager was out and it was late afternoon so I left it. I will go back this coming week and update this post. But it looks like farang can now have the GSB app on their phone

Referring to the attached photo, if my income is 1 mill thai baht per year is the amount of tax that I would pay be around 115,000? (sliding scale) Or is it 25% of 1,000,000? If its 115k, how can I get that down a bit?

I had this and went to an ENT dr. He prescribed a powder solution to put in water and squirt up the nose and antibiotics. When I paid for the pills at bumrungrad and collected them I was surprised about how many the dr allocated me. Pharmacist asked me if Im on other medication which I stated yes (heart pills). Turns out I could not take my pill with the one prescribed. They gave me a 5k refund. Moral to the story is that one should tell the dr to write down the pill name on paper and tell them that you will buy it elsewhere.

Its Thais who cant be assed working. We have a small business and so hard to find long stayers. New yrs is a shocker. Many stay in Issan for another month. They dont care about being permanent employee on social security. They just quit and come back part time. We are so desperate we do accept them back. Nightmare relying on thai people let me tell you.

Nonsense post.

Very true in our case. In our city its VERY difficult to find skilled workers for our business. They quit so easy and move to competition or head back to Issan whenever they want to. I have a WP but it was hard to get it. I wish we didnt have to rely on thai nationals

Get real. Stop spreading FUD please

Are you thai national with farang female wife?

You should pop in and see them. When I did it took them 10min to find the requirements. For sure you will be rejected if you dont have a WP. They tried to put me off getting an account. They said the govt will scrutinise all deposits to the account. I think this bank is not farang friendly at all!

A foreigner can open an account with agric bank. Need WP, PPort, salary evidence, marriage cert, yellow book

Whats your evidence for this? I hope you're correct. Would like to know your source thanks

Thats bc they are government owned banks and solid as a rock?
