There may be a physical limitation (size of dispensing slot) which in turn limits the amount that can be withdrawn. I know I have a tight fit at the 18,000 amount (Bangkok Bank ATM), which requires some effort to pull the stack out of the slot. I'm not sure that ATM can go much greater than 20,000? The home bank may have a limit (say $500 per day), which limits the THB to ~17,000/18,000. The dispensing ATM may have a physical limit. Some folks say they do counter withdrawals, where the limits may be higher.

In the smoking areas outside buildings ~ half the smokers are vaping. And the sidewalk/night markets are awash with vape devices and juice. Most of the clubbers have a vape dangling on a lanyard. Did I mention online sales? The "government" (& police) don't care to enforce this ban, maybe occasionally there is a raid/seizure but that's all for show.

There is Duty Free on Arrival after Immigration, within the baggage carousel area. Savvy shoppers know the price/volume of items they buy consistently, so they know what represents a price advantage. For me, scotch/bourbon in the 2,500 - 3,500 range represents a significant value at DF, vs. in town. At the airport, you get 1L for the same price (or slightly less) as a 700/750 in town. So a ~25% savings.

I think CW requires you to write your phone number on the TM7. I recall mid-2021 where this was added. And that's how a certain visa agency was able to cold-call so many in the months leading up to their renewal.

All but 2% of the populace have already formed an opinion about Trump, either positive or negative. So there are very few "undecideds" left to sway. It's going to come down to turn-out. And fewer than 100,000 people will decide the election in PA, MI, MN, WI, AZ, NV, GA, NE (2), ME (2). Last week, Trump was a shoo-in, with an Ivory-soap number. Now with VP Harris, her VP and JD Vance, we're back to 55/45 for Trump. He's got the Electoral College in hand. IMO, if Trump focused on four or five issues (including Women's Health Care), and offered reasonable solutions, he'd win easily. But he's not really an "issues" guy.

A search would yield some valuable information as your question has been posed many times. Google schwab site:aseannow.com In general, people here seem quite happy with Schwab, and my recollections of posts over the years here is that Schwab is expat friendly, offer ATM fee rebates, free SWIFT transfers (initiated online), and a no-foreign transaction fee Visa credit card.

We've had limited success "extending the reach of a LAN" over WiFi. On the plus side, that "Extender" is mesh/super-mesh compatible with your 3BB/AIS router. It does have an Ethernet port but I think that is 10/100 only.

Ranked in order of "Scaramucci's"? A Scaramucci (or Mooch) is 11 (sometimes 10) days and is named after the length of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci's tenure under ... When a male (preferably white) manager/leader challenges staff to perform he is deemed a leader. When a woman acts the same way? Well she's called something else. Tracking turnover in the Trump administration President Trump’s “A Team” turnover is 92% as of January 20, 2021 https://www.brookings.edu/articles/tracking-turnover-in-the-trump-administration/

What service do you have from 3BB(/AIS)? Speeds? I believe this only supports (up to) 100 Mbps. Maybe it is CAT-5e? Which can support speeds up to (beyond?) 1,000 Mbps (1 GbE). Any special applications? Gaming? VPN? For this sort of application, we've used a low/mid-end WiFi router (for example: TP-Link Archer C-6 is a good budget model) configured as a (secondary) router (DHCP off, dedicated IP), and connected to the primary router (from 3BB/AIS), via Cat 6 cabling.

Rumors swirling that Trump is suffering "buyer's remorse".

More comparable to a toilet flushing.

IMO... Apple TV+ has less but higher-quality original programming. Netflix has much, much more original programming. I have/watch both. (plus HBOGo, Disney/Hotstar, Amazon Prime) I'd take the free Apple TV + for three months then evaluate if there is value for you? Then maybe try Netflix for one month. You can watch reviews of both on Youtube. Especially focus on those YT channels which review each months' offerings.

Download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. Install them BEFORE attaching the device. But I think you can attach this camera to your PC with a USB cable, where it will show as a "drive", just drag the files to your PC.

It looks like there are twenty (20) channels on AIS Play, I'm using the mobile app, prepaid AIS SIM, and casting to my Chromecast attached to my TV. It's pretty easy to use the phone as a remote, essentially. This is how I watched previous Olympics where AIS was the streaming partner here.

The skim on this will be ~ 35%.

In the OP two expats have strong opinions. Angry? Meh. I'm certainly not angry that others have more options now. AFAIK my extension of stay based on retirement remains a valid option for me.

Now we get to see if old age is a disqualifying state for everyone.

Some of us get reimbursed for the ~ 220 THB local ATM fee, while getting the daily VISA exchange rate. Some of us have credit cards that get the daily VISA rate and have zero foreign transaction fees. Some of us get SWIFT wire transfers with no fees (other than the Bangkok Bank TT rate and their 200 - 500 baht fee).

Did you forget where you were the other day? Can you offer any of these sources to support your prediction? Ms. Clinton is 76, and we're told that everyone wants younger candidates.

At this point it seems inevitable - Biden withdrawing from the re-election campaign. But coordinating all the moving parts will be complicated. For example, does he remain as the President? Harris has no chance, we're just not ready for a woman president, certainly not one of color. What also seems inevitable is that Trump will surely be elected, with a massive electoral win (295+), and maybe even a plurality. And the Republicans will keep the House and take the Senate, with two - four seats there to spare. Alito and Thomas can retire and be replaced with much younger Justices, including Aileen Canon.

He's just telling his audience what they want to hear.

FWIW, there is an AIS Play app in the Samsung Apps store/library.
