Thai Credit Score system
digbeth replied to Na Fan's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
what kind of accountant don't even know what credit score is? even motorcycle or mobile phone shops knows how to run credit score before any lease or hire purchase, their keyword is 'Credit Bureau' maybe pronounced in Thai accent and you'll get there in most banking app there are option to request credit score for a fee, or you can visit KTB bank (they're government bank) or the credit bureau in Bangkok has a few physical location you can walk up to get your credit score Typical path for Thais with no previous credit history is starting on cash advance cards, some cards can be used to buy things on credit, maybe 0% for 10 months, easy and cheap way to build history She's unlikely to be granted a credit card in her own name, If you have a lump sum you can help her with, have her open a bonded credit card, say 100,000 baht in an account the bank will use as collateral to give her a credit, any credit accrued won't be taken out off this amount automatically like a debit card be she has to pay either the whole amount or the minimum plus interest just like real credit card, this will show on her credit report, and if she keeps up the repayment and don't have overdues bigger loans can be granted Also don't run her credit report too often, this will show up as 'tracing' and is red flag looking like someone trying to game the system or shopping around for loans, -
Kbank require connection over sim card with the same number you registered with as to have the packet header they see match your number they have on file, so you can't connect using wifi or use the app on any other phone, I think afterwards you can toggle it to be able to connects over wifi

If you want to be isolated in a quiet town, there are plenty of smaller town south of Prachuab all the way to Chumporn like Baan Krud or Thap Sakae and Bang Saphan that to an expat functionally similar: no night life, small community of expat, but without the busy streets of the capital town with government canters and businesses, and they all have better beaches

They have been in 5 since the late 2000s, only the past couple of years during the Covid reprieve that they disappeared and maybe you thought that was the norm Same with the African drug dealers, I remembered sitting in Took Lae Dee watching coppers chase them down the soi Since the office block upstairs was converted to hotel and mall it has always been intended to serve Arab clientele, that hotel and renovation was a decade ago You'd have to go back to the 90s to see that Foodland be frequented by more civic 'international' crowds from wireless road.

Story Of My Thai Citizenship Application
digbeth replied to dbrenn's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As far as the bank is concerned, it's not 'own account' you are transferring overseas to another bank, the bank would consider this 'others account' even if you have accounts from multiple bank, transferring between them is done under 'other accounts' in most banking apps, if there are options for you to select as 'own accounts' it would be in error if you're transferring to another bank or country even -

If your insurer has provided you one but it was lost in the post just buy another one, at 600 baht a year it's hardly the end of the world if you've lost yours to be reissued one, the insurer might ask that you make a police report that it was lost, another trip to police and DLT, how much is that in wasted time

Given how much flight Chiang Mai sees from Thai holidaymaker alone everyday, the market is there, if the flights can be cheap and regular enough, anything sure beats the traffic and roadworks on Rama2 road, Huahin has been quiet the past few Thai long weekends and the bad traffic and potential accidents on Rama 2 road sure put people off coming

digbeth replied to 5davidhen1's topic in IT and Computers
