He might have been offere a 'bonded' credit card that works just like credit card with a proper credit line that shows up on your credit report, only caveat being you have to have a fixed deposit covering the credit, this deposit doesn't get deducted once you use the card, you have to make a payment every month, as little as the minimum payment, running up interest while your original amount sits in the bank untouched. In theory this is offered to those with low or no credit history, once they show a pattern of repayment and source of income, they can apply for a proper credit card, which for foreigners in thailand not working - never. bonded credit card has some benefit over debit cards, such as proper chargeback protections and other perks like points or cashback discounts and there are many situations where debit cards are not accepted, like try renting a car at airports. Question is can the 'bonded' deposit be used to satisfy retirement visa requirement? you get a fixe deposit passbook that runs interest but you can't withdraw, if you put in 400or 800,000 in and get a bonded credit card against that allowing you to use money you can't otherwise touch.

last I looked the existing franchise in the area has first refusal as in, corporate wants a cut of the action, you better cough up the cost to open another branch next door or opposite, not easy if you don't own the land, otherwise they'd find someone who would or corporate would do it themself and drive you out of business. this is usually triggered after your existing store has reached a certain threshold of takins per day, 10-15 years ago it was 60-80,000 a day

an analog meter might be able to see the fluctuation between the +5 and -5v of a square wave

I always shop between Jib or Advice, for online things like parts that I build myself, rarely had to interact with them, same day or express 2-3 hours delivery in Bangkok from these two is very convenient If the pre-built name brand are out of stock, they can build you one to spec Invade IT for stuff I can't get anywhere else, as their price is a bit higher, if you need to speak or email someone in English, I supposed they're worth it For more mom and pop store, Compute and More, not sure about their online service but used to have a chat with them at their store in Palladium and Big corporate, I successfully order direct from Acer and Dell, never Asus

The Bank's logic is sound, in the past they might have to cover loss to phone scam, so making remote access while using the app impossible, the irate customers are going to be in the minority and every time a big scam case hit the media, the mass are ready to blame the bank for facilitating the scam Unfortunately there are no Thai law protecting disabled access for people that might need screen reader to use with the website they discontinued

if the car's under finance you'll need a permission from the finance company to take it abroad (not likely) otherwise the owner just take the relevant document to make that car's permit (essentially a passport for the car) thai citizens can apply for border pass without passport, but they'll be limited on where and how long can they visit

even if you manage to get the app software to run, using android emulator that replicate a phone OS like bluestack, the banking app probably can detect it's being run where it shouldn't, normally they would even refuse to run when you have root mode enabled or the phone jailbroken already if the above paragraph doesn't make sense to you, just getting a sim card dongle and plugging it in your computer's not gonna work

It's supposed to require card and PIN to use the deposit machine now

to be fair to the Thai banking system, how many western country let you transfer directly between individual bank accounts with just mobile no or qr codes without the need for third party company or apps? and for the cost of free?

What makes you think they don't ask Thais for their ID? even at automatic deposit machine you can't use without inserting your card and identifying yourself, it used to be that you can just punch in the bank account number into the machine and off you go

The Piri Piri place seem to be modelled very closely from Nando, but looks like they're closing down in many place, most of their mall locations are gone now, only the tiny one in Sukhumvit Soi 17 in Bangkok where the trendy building is left I think

If a business never register their product or brand in Thailand, anyone can legally register that name in the same business field no problem Recently there was an 'Al-Baik' (Saudi Copy of KFC styled fried chicken) that was famous in the middle east that appeared in Bangkok but seem to not be connected to the parent franchise unless they copy everything down to the trademark logo, then the parent company would have a case, but would they bother suing a company in country they never intend to have local presence? Western brands like Taco Bell might seem to only sprung up in the last few years but the franchisee that own the name (Yum Brands) have had the business in Thailand for a lot longer than that

4-5 years ago I used to go to Chiang Mai regularly from there, when they still used the old terminal buildings, since then the road connection has got better with the hwy 7 extensions opened, before I had to use the 331 to drive down there but after covid, many flight had not returned, like Air Asia, looks like Thai Lion Air only has one flight to Chiangmai Taxi situation to get to Pattaya hasn't improved either

We had to replace the water mains in our condo, it is agreed that the main pipes to the meter comes out of the common fund, (the meter was the condo's not the water company) and anything behind the meter to the room belongs to each room's owner, as long as the work is being done any owner that wanted to can replace their pipes when the work is being done, any that didn't agree can keep their old pipe run but if they wanted to replace it a later date, they'd have to pay for the removal and fixing back of the ceiling at their own cost granted, the run was only from each floor, I don't see why if only 1 guy' power cable need replacing and the whole condo should be responsible for it

normally she won't know where the amount came from but to make a deposit to transfer, you need to be identified at the bank if you have a bank account here, you can also transfer the amount from your bank, unless she goes to the bank concerned with the source of the deposit/transfer into her account she won't get any details of who sent her the money in case if's you making a deposit in person, they'd have to look back at cctv footage to find the time you made it, dig to the copies of your ID that they had made, the bank won't do it without valid reason like she suspect she's being scammed by being sent money? or a court/police order

it's probably easier to offer this service as a mobile ISP, can't get fiber in your condo/apartment rentals? call us.... and lock you in whatever sim/mvno plan you have, come and install it just like the wired isp those that don't have the means to check and compare speeds between providers won't care or bother to switch providers or sims anyway

if you have access to or keep a sim from back home with roaming, single roaming sim could potentially access all network in Thailand in the right equipment relatively easily, no need to swap sim

must be the golf course, nothing to stop people in the fairways from walking down taxiways or driving balls into the flightpath plus some of the publicly accessible road on the east (airforce base) side looks like they can be driven into airside

It'd be easier if the company selling the router let you take it home, test drive it and return it if it's not for you due to the government requirement regarding mobile simcards sign on requiring ID, it'd be hard to get the router with multiple sims to try, a good network engineer might already has all the tools needed to see the signals, evaluate what level of data you actually need according to your usage, but these engineers aren't cheap there used to be a networking dealer company that let you pay a 20-30% deposit, and would let you have the brand new gear or a demo unit, after you have satisfied that the thing you want works, pay the remainder to get a new one or keep the ones they sent, but they only deal in certain brands and then the selection of mobile router quite limited, an independent retail shop could offer this with selection from all brands a lot of online retailer already has generous return policy so you can try them all out and return them if you need to

The issue could arise If a Thai passport issued in Thailand was being used to enter Thailand for the first time without previous exit stamp, or entry of the exit on immigration's computer you could present passport to the exiting immigration officer, explain your situation and persuade them to stamp you out on the Thai passport as well, the worst they can do is link your EU identity with Thai identity in their system claim that you used the auto gate to exit, hence no entry stamp... but only at land border where they don't have linked computer, be sure to have detail regarding flights out and how long just enter wit Thai ID card, they can't bar thai citizen from entering, keep the thai passport for next exit

it was reported in Thai that he put the angle grinder blade in the trimmer

having a shower and putting on a shirt helps

It's all over Thai social networks, no even the national TV news on multiple channel for weeks, What local newspapers do you read? if you don't read Thai and only rely on print like the Bangkok Post that's your problem

was it a cruiser? 650? usually a twin, Only Honda has 650 4 I think Ninja 200 and 400 are fours of course

is it still the case that in the UK you can ride up to 125cc with only car licence (with CBT) etc. There is no such provision in Thailand so unless you have full UK motorcycle license, you'd be considered unlicensed for the motorcycle
