  1. keyword is you want to be enrolled under "section 39" provision for voluntary payment
  2. They only mention the VISA section, this applies mostly to Thai nationals, if you don't need VISA to visit the UK. this doesn't concern you at the moment, If you find this hard to understand, you'll struggle to navigate through life
  3. class 2 covers the other party in vehicle to vehicle accidents only, plus fire and theft but only repairs the other party vehicle, your own you pay out of pocket for any repairs class2+ covers your own vehicle too, still for vehicle to vehicle (define as anything with licence plate) ie. if you hit a pole, or a bicycle, you're not covered also the insured value might be limited, say a 1million baht car the first class might covers up to 950,000 where 2+ might covers to 3-400,000 baht only, you can negotiate more with higher premiums of course
  4. Honda has already started their production in Thailand on the e:NS1 or whatever they're gonna call the ev version of the HR-V, last year they had to scrub the launch due to the price of the Seal being unexpectedly low While it's a different shaped car segment altogether, compact SUV/Crossover Vs Execytuve Sedan, Thai people like to compare between segments and see what they can buy, and the Seal is a better EV than the bolted on battery nature of the EV HR-V Now with the Atto 3 being reduced, there's nowhere for Honda to go pricewise, with their ICE model as it is, they can't make the EV the same price as the top end petrol hybrid either,
  5. Look at the BYD's Atto 3 'Discount' it's not the same car, different spec batteries and all, so they could claim it's not the exact model you bought that was discounted, but rather new model
  6. And Korea would have a nice chunk of that middle class tourist market, even moreso with thai teens' K-Pop craze Not that there aren't Thai working illegally in Japan Maybe there's less of a market for illegal Thai workers in Japan than South Korea, Why does the problem in Korea became so rampant that airport immigration are now jeopardizing genuine tourist? Some would say the South Korean economy needed the illegal workers
  7. Thais also can travel visa-free to Japan, why is it less of a problem there? Japan is still activel welcoming Thai tourist
  8. Liked it when it was Homeworks, has some higher end stuff that Homepro didn't have, but then Homepro has improved, especially in their own store on Sukhumvit to North Pattaya, the one in Big C not so much. Since then Central Group has taken over Thai Wassadu and that's their main home improvement store brand now, the stores is aimed for contractors more, looks like Central has ceded the market for middle class DIY home improvement to Homepro, the rebranded Baan&Beyond never gained traction, when it was Homeworks there was 8-10 stores in Bangkok, there was only a couple of stores nationwide for Baan&Beyond and looks like it's gone from Pattaya now one thing I never liked about them is that for electronics items, there was never consistent pricing, in their 'PowerBuy department, between the store on the dark side of Sukhumvit, one on Klang and in Central Beach Rd. and what used to be in Homeworks/Baan&Beyond you would find the same items have different prices
  9. Sinthorn Tower, grab a coffee in one of the shops to validate parking otherwise it's 100baht an hour last I checked
  10. During the rice pledging fiasco years back, political opponent of the scheme were angry with the Government Savings Bank for giving loan to the scheme and start to withdraw money in droves, causing a mini-bank run that they had to pause service. If the economy is at the point that the big banks needed the deposit protection scheme, I don't think the government savings bank with their 100% deposit protection can do any better, the government will have been defaulting on lots of things by then
  11. if there's cash prizes, I can see the organizer won't bother with how to do a withholding tax for foreigner and potentially non-residents, for the big marathon maybe they can afford it, but for local provincial or amphur level events, forget it, but the participation medals/bibs shouldn't be any different
  12. the tv aerial should be grounded right? what issue could arise from tapping ground from the co-axial cable that's likely unused these days, but in condo building these would have been ran through splitters and amplifier to your room, would the ground still be good
  13. I've seen case where organizer would claim that insurance for foreigner is more expensive, or opt out of having insurance for foreigners at all, but I've never seen where foreigner can't win the prize even if they exclude all foreigners from certain prize, you can hardly claim it's racial discrimination as african athletes are equally excluded as european ones
  14. If the developer hold the deed to the road and hasn't registered the easement, if he has a plot next to the road, he could well within his right start building on the road, or registered easement is for only 1 meter wide pedestrian access road only, there might be 16 meters wide road when you were sold the plot, but years down the line subsequent owner could acquire the road and start building on it
  15. a lot of the newer build 'loft' style condos with duplex aren't actual duplex in the deed, the sq. m on record will be of one floor only, and the second level is actually classified as 'furniture' like bunk bed, these loft/duplex room will have same floor space as non-duplex room below, if they were to only use the floorplan sq meters, it'd be unfair as they actually have more usable floor space
  16. I doubt the likes of SCB or Bangkok Bank and even KBank would fail before the government bank, the 1M Baht guarantee is for a very hypothetical situation, if it comes to the point that the main commercial bank needs the bailing out, your money in Thailand'd have been quite devalued long before
  17. an easement is and agreement between two landowners giving access through their property, it will be recorded on the chanote and at the land office simple one would be giving access to the 'landlocked' plot in the back of your plot say, a road certain meters wide through the plot owned by you
  18. either the road has a separate chanote, then all 7 owns a share in company owning the road, this could make thing like utilities easier too if the electric company makes you pay for extending the power pole into the back plot or you could hold on to the chanote to the road, but potential buyer of the plots would be weary of the status, I've been in situation where they 'developer' has mortgaged the road and technically could build anything on it later on or the road is in the same plot as one of the plot, then record and easement for the other six into the chanote
  19. I've seen case where in order to get a lost key reprogrammed, without the barcode tag present, they don't even bother and proceed to order the whole ecu new to the tune of 3-4,000 baht
  20. if it's keyless fob, you only got one from the factory, make sure you take care of the barcode on the keyring, it's needed to program another key in should you need a second fob or lose the original
  21. 2 factor token generator are available and used already on commercial accounts for most Thai Banks, I'd happily pay extra 5-800 baht a year to use it with my personal accounts
  22. You only watch them stay 'stationary' on the app, they don't actually show up to your location, some even drive in the other direction away from you even
  23. Try hailing a taxi in front of popular shopping malls.... the rank full of taxis and tuktuks blocking traffic that's conveniently ignored by the police would be evidence otherwise
  24. if they cancel, they lose 'reputation' with the company and would get less job sent to them, so they'd lie and say their car broke down or whatever
