worst case is they don't assume the foreigner has anything and go shuffled around hospitals and died en route, which did happened good thing foreigner under the social security still gets their social security card, so the emergency service going through their wallet can get some idea and take them to appropriate hospital

at least you don't have to take the green card they used to leave in mailboxes to the post office to pay -
Buying a car at the Bangkok Motor Show
digbeth replied to westsail's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
there's an incentive from corporate to have certain numbers of deposit taken at the show to count as a sale, so they might work harder , offer more for your money it only works if the dealer the sales person you got paired with at the show is in convenient reach, say in Bangkok, as at least you'll have to be there for the delivery, red/white plate swap, you can arrange for transport to your home of course but that might cost, sales side of the dealer really don't have much say in service department so if the brand is good you just go to the dealer closer to home for service, unless it's troublesome warranty issue the being the car you bought from them might get better chance at claiming certain things on warranty -
If the bank just pays out to whomever turns up with a will, how could the bank verify that the will is the most up to date and hasn't been invalidated by newer will? or should there be a next of kin option, how would the bank ensures that the deceased hasn't been taken advantaged of and a relative/mistress took them to change the benefiting next of kin on file to circumvent probate yes it from the perspective of a loner with just a thai wife it's overcomplicated, but for thais with substantial assets to require probate, most of the time it'll get ugly, and it's better sorted in the court

A 'friendly' branch manager would of course advise Mrs Somchai that she didn't tell them Mr has died and to make the withdrawal using the POA, or not look too closely at the signature on the slip By the Way, being appointed estate executioner (probate) is free at the prosecutor's office, but there's a lengthy queue and it helps that the widow /son is somewhat literate and able to sort through the relevant documents themselves
-
or at least give them a list of accounts under the deceased name, which branch informally of course, normally they don't give out information like that, it's required in the letter presented to the judge to start to proceed the probate/ estate manage hearing that it's written that the widow try to withdrew funds etc from the accounts and was denied.... If you're both known to the bank manager a pre-signed withdrawal slip and copy of your ID might be accepted with signed power of attorney (usually on the back of withdrawal slip)

Thai factory closures, a victim of Chinese imports surge
digbeth replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
the protectionist 200% import tax to 'protect' the local auto industry seems to make the local japanese manufacturer complacent rather than innovate and compete, equivalent models honda were cheaper and better equipped and cheaper in Europe built in the UK no wonder they seem to crumbles at the slightest invasion from China -
are you sure it's not air purifier or even better positive pressure air filtration system, or some sort of portable air conditioner setup an actual AC compressor dumps lots of heat in the room, aside from that there's no other pollution to worry about
-
unless ordered concurrent with start of construction, I doubt any manufacturer are able to plan the production and deliver rolling stocks in such a short time, 2027 when the west section is open is probably more realistic or they already negotiated with manufacturers in advance of the court rulings knowing full well they'll win

spraying chemicals vs bait I've had success with both, for old build house unless you are willing to drill through concrete floors to spray under the house bait would be better choice as spraying along the perimeter and along interior walls won't reach underground beneath the house

Foreigner and Thai woman get into heated argument on BTS (video)
digbeth replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
it's the same as bad driving on the road - being dangerous and cutting people off, undertaking in the wrong lane, going the wrong way is tolerated, but the moment you honk your horn you're the bad guy and violence against you is justified -
So how about tax and tax invoices on Lazada and Shopee?
digbeth replied to CallumWK's topic in General Topics
On Shopee there's an option to request tax invoice and to type in the details you required, but only a few shops seem to respect that, often you need to chat with them to provide tax invoice but shops that don't offer tax invoice at all will not have that option available on things like office supplies, I often see the fact that they can produce tax invoice advertised in the picture in thai or as description, the expectation would be that most shops can't provide tax invoice and shops that do try to differentiate themselves -
So how about tax and tax invoices on Lazada and Shopee?
digbeth replied to CallumWK's topic in General Topics
For most people, they only allow individuals to file tax invoices as expenses for personal income tax deductions during special 'promotions' to stimulate economy for the past couple of years, it was for purchases during January-February of that tax year and limited to 50,000 baht, for last year it was only from shops that has e-tax receipt where the shop also file it electronically with revenue department there are special case where you classify as 'freelancer' then you can use tax invoice on purchases as deductions It's usually always better to register as a company to be able to get more opportunity to claim expense -
Surprised the new boxy, cheap(er) toyota champ aren't flying off the dealer, rare on the roads usually when either Toyota or Isuzu launch a new model the big fleet buyers has them the next day the first current body hilux 'revo' is around 9 years old now but in this economy they don't need replacing as yet All the Hilux Champ I see are either used by independent contractor or boys' toy to go camping not many fleet use or even as food truck to use in markets, for use as market truck, the toyota champ and even the current model Suzuki flatbed truck seem almost too big, and for market traders, even at swanky hipster markets in Bangkok they seem quite content to buy 2nd hand truck rather than new There are no currently proper small truck/van like the Japanese K-cars, there used to be a few petrol models imported from China of dubious quality, if there's some proper box van/pickup as ev this could be another section of market that's untapped

Laotian would understand Thai quite well due to exposure to Thai media and can modify their vocabulary for Thais to understand A Thai might understand some spoken lao as well as Issan, but would struggle with writing from signs etc Issan people from Thailand will have easier time in Laos compared to Bangkok Thai for sure Lao and Issan use mostly the same verbs and common words, but nouns of things will differ, it's sill mutually understood, but like some words has been replaced with weird choice of a thesaurus, more marked diffrence in modern coined or loaned words

น่าจะเป็นคนไทยมั๊ยครับ words like เจ้าของโพสต์ shows familiarity with thai internet vocabulary whereas a non-natives would maybe invent a new translation

the online platforms, Lazada, Shopee and maybe Aliexpress are supposed to collect the tax before it ever enters, previously anything over 1,500 baht get assessed by the post office and you get a card in your post box to come and pay the tax at the post office, making this for lower amount would mean more workload for the post office, plus most of them use their own courier now

British yoga teacher stranded in Bangkok airport over passport tear
digbeth replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
would the transfer gate be available only for connecting flights that your luggage can be booked through. not sure if such facility is available to low cost airlines, I don't think it's even available to transfer luggage between low cost flight even if it's on the same airline even, say you connect at Bangkok, you have to collect your bag and check in again -
They won't transfer your account to another 'home' branch if it's only a temporary closure, which on their website only list Kamala branch as temporary closure https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Locate-Us#tab1 last time I had branch closed and transferred to another branch I was able to keep the old passbook and account numbers These days there are only a few things that can't be done unless you're at a *home* branch - getting new passbook in case of lost books fixed term deposits most other things can be done at any branch
