  1. UOB seems to be one of the last bank to still has online banking through webpage
  2. Looking through the news there were article about storms blowing house away earlier this month, but not this week what's funny is that there's a lightning strike yesterday that kills 6 buffaloes... actual news that gonna be hard to explain if that family's ever got a sponsor down in Pattaya
  3. Perfect for the populace to spend that digital wallet
  4. while you can switch passport in the air or airport border, can you do at land border? does Thai immigration expect to see Lao or Cambodian exit stamp for the same day coming in on the same passport? if yes those with multiple nationalities can double their stay in Thailand without appearing to have 'stayed' in the country that much, or will the system flag up the date of birth and name? if you could change your name in one country enough would they still notice?
  5. if you came in on one country's passport, switched while in Thailand, when you try to leave on the other passport, there won't be records of this 'new' passport coming in to Thailand
  6. Leaving the country's gonna be a problem if you switch passport and they have no record of how your identity in the other passport got in
  7. These vans are likely running LPG, you won't smell the exhaust like diesel
  8. looks like Tesla has managed to get locations outside of malls and be near the road/highways for once the supercharger in Central like Pattaya is ridiculous, making it to the top floor of the carpark in a destination where most hotels have AC chargers to use overnight and not worth a detour through traffic and up the carpark if you're heading out further like Rayong The one in Huahin while in a mall is right on the entrance, The Chumporn Garage is interesting, being a new player, not existing petrol station operator or mall now what's to be seen if he can build a business (rent) around the charger It's understandable that Tesla can't get permit from the electric company for stand alone connection and it's easier to go piggybacking off existing supply like malls, but other operator manage to get DC charger in petrol stations fine, There are many Thai roadside business from coach stops restaurants to souvenir shops that has the location suitable for DC charger that don't need to be in petrol stations
  9. cremation only should be around 30-40,000 at the most expensive Bangkok temples, what's expensive is the nightly service with the sala rental, the monk fees, flowers, catering there are Christian denominated cremation site but most Christian churches just move the body to Buddhist crematorium after the service at their church
  10. For most new builds in Bangkok 3-7 years back Thais would be queueing to buy off-plan on launch day and could even flip the deposit for profit
  11. could it be that because it's hotter here and it takes more time to cure?
  12. The system's working since January, to renew road tax means all outstanding tickets is brought up to be paid
  13. First come first served, it's maintained per building so not attached to a specific room so you can, and if you sell to a Thai, the foreign quota for that condo became available for others, the Juristic Manager would know if the quota is used up or not.
  14. Is the 'potential' higher resale value be worth more than the worse exchange rate if you were to transfer the funds in through proper means that can provide FET to satisfy the land office? vs just using money already in Thailand or transferring in though other means that won't have FET? The condo being in Thai name doesn't mean you won't be able to sell into foreign quota later if the condo's quota isn't all used up
  15. only reason to want foreign quota is to sell later on, you'd have more opportunity and price if the condo is still in foreigner quota but are there anyway for a Thai to hold on to foreign quota? I don't think so, short of using her foreign identity to but the condo with associated paperwork like FET if the occupancy is not filled up it may be still possible to transfer to foreigner while the 49% is not met, but this can't be guaranteed won't be filled by the time you want to sell.
  16. you have to activate online or at atm to set a daily limit for online shopping, but in my experience they rarely work, I think they only work with payment gateway that support Visa/Mastercards 3D payment where they send you an OTP, which in western world is rare even contactless for Bangkok Bank's MasterCard Debit cards don't work in shops most of the time
  17. If you can avoid being reported to 'checked in' at a hotel you can save yourself the trouble of re-reporting yourself when you're home, for the immigration office that insist on it say you had a weekend away and the hotel reported you moved there say in Phuket or whatever and you didn't report that you 'moved' back to your usual place, would this be a problem when you present the initial TM30 at immigration that might not match where they had you last in their system?
  18. I would ask her that I have many other activities that I was going to be doing to myself and I would rather not be taking a job from a Thai and does she offer such service
  19. Some hotels won't let you check in with just Thai driver license now, 'policy is for passport' What exactly is required of them in order to report T.M. 30? the passport number on driving license might not be current is understandable for hotels that is this strict about reporting I doubt pink ID card would be acceptable too, it's not like they can put you down as a Thai person checking in
  20. What's the objection? they don't have to use it if it's there, or are they afraid they'll be enjoying themselves with it? I know in malls and such that don't have them is that some thais spray it on the floor to clean their feet or whatever and it's a big mess with people walking out with wet shoes
  21. Yes, there is no such thing as 'Thai Quota' but if you're advertising a room for sale, would you put down 'not in foreigner quota' or 'thai ownership only' in your description? When 'foreigner quota' is an already understood concept, 'Thai Quota' while inaccurate if you're being pedantic is an easy shorthand
  22. While they're not in homes, water chiller tower are used in malls in Thailand, but even then the chilled water are never aerosolized indoors, they pass through the cold split unit in sealed pipes
  23. having grown up in CoE, I find evangelicals at ECB fits the description you are looking for better than proper Anglican church the american-styled service takes a bit to get used to the pomp of Anglican church though
