    Personally, if renting, as I do here in London, I would slide in a new secure lock (1-4,000 Baht). Done same in my Bangkok Condo that cannot be key copied. Keep the old lock/key and swap out when you leave. No need for insurance and enjoy total peace of mind. Simples no?

    Depends on whether you have a private internet router or shared WiFi. In my Bangkok Condo you would get 900/500 MBPs. In most shared environments you would get far,far less. Mine is 750 Baht/Month. You get what you pay for. Good luck.

    Yes. Agreed. But isn't the topic of this thread about Thai acceptance of a foreigner's card requiring proof of identity? Are they using contactless for foreigners withought having to show passports/ID?

    This site uses Cloudflare to distribute load, speed up pages and prevent DDOS attacks. Generally OK. I, and many here, would prefer not to rely on Thai internet "geeks" regarding internet access given their track record on delivering Thai govermental institution projects such as TM30 and 90 day reports. Online immigration appointment (Bangkok) booking has worked OK for me ,though not for others.

    Not long before they will want ID for cash acceptance too. Then no cash transactions. Great Reset anyone? In London, more places will no longer accept cash.

    Finding anywhere in LOS that accept AMEX is as rare as Rocking Horse <deleted> so fair play to BigC. At least, airline mileage/hotel points are credited.

    <deleted> that can be a pain in the <deleted>! Ps. Loving the censorship ????

    You rate us that highly? ????

    Real question is: Do Thais have to show their ID when making a purchase using a card? Never happened to me (Yet).

    Happened in my ex-wife's village too. Strange times then. More than a few. Nakhon Si Thammarat.

    555 There's plenty of duplication and redundancy. No escape.

    Good point and my thoughts too. How could the west strike back without escalating to Thermonuclear War and major destruction? I'd rather be in Thailand than London. Can they wait 2 weeks please?

    Aren't the 3 Thai seasons: "roo doo Ron" Hot season "roo doo Fon" Rainy season "roo doo Naew" Cold season 3 seasons maybe but never really cold for us weterners. Thais will shiver and suffer at anything under 25C. Always makes me chuckle when I see Thais on the BTS wearing padded winter jackets when we are happy in shorts and T-shirt.

    Thailand is a more exotic and cheaper Spain for many here. Some great full English breakfasts in Bangkok and Pattaya for sure.

    Great promotion for them by you!

    Totally agree with you. If internet is so important (it is for me) then always be self sufficient with a phone and internet sim card or two. Hotel Wifi is often slow, drops out, can't connect or weak signal and that's before security implications if not using a VPN.

    What advice has your lawyer given you regarding this?
  18. soi3eddie
    Hardcore?
  19. soi3eddie
    No. Non immigrant visa does not require return/onward flight. Neither by airlines nor Thai immigration.

    Good news for us from the UK. King Charles III on our coins. The real issue is; how, if possible, will the new monarch's head be added to the upcoming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to be issued by the Bank of England? It IS coming... Will he be seen smiling on apps and websites or tokens or what? Or will it be Lord Kwasi and Lady Liz? Who do we trust?
  21. soi3eddie
    Unlikely. So long as your withdrawn crypto/money is now moved somewhere safe beyond their reach then what are they going to do? Extradite you to the USA?
  22. soi3eddie
    Enjoy overpaying at Phuket. The same fare in Bangkok would likely run 350 Baht.

    Do you trust the Thai nominees who own 51% of your assets?

    Any, half decent, IT mall should have Mono Laser printers. I bought mine in Pantip Plaza, Bangkok a few years ago. Althought there's few shops still open there, there is a printer shop on the one of the upper floors. I use Brother lasers in Thailand and the UK and they have never failed me.

    Can't see the dealership allowing a valuable new vehicle to be driven away unless all the finance was in order.
