Experience At TTJ Bank.
digbeth replied to NoshowJones's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yeah, opening an account usually is done at the sit down desk, not the teller's counter so a different queue, a person arriving later but only for the teller's queue might get seen before you and that's normal, this is same for hospital and paying mobile phone bills, the letter before the number on the ticket is there for a reason, if you're perplexed at how a person arriving after you might be served first, life's gonna be difficult -
Experience At TTJ Bank.

if they let you have an app, most of the big bank like Bangkok Bank, SCB and Kbank let you withdraw from their own ATM using just the app on your phone without charging out of zone fee, no yearly fee for the debit cards either, but then you are locked in to using that bank's ATM if you opt to not have the debit card -
They're correct that there is no timing belt on the Ciaz, it uses timing chain, which should last longer than 100,000km maybe the don't understand what chain means

you just save yourself, after the wait they'd have just said no, cannot open account for foreigner and why did you choose that bank in the first place? if you've been on this forum long enough you should know there's only a few bank that's known good in being able to serve farang customers, let alone in Nakhon Nowhere -
for condo with freehold title, in case of damage like fire that's enough to make the building unlivable, to dissolve a condo requires unanimous vote by all co-owners, same with say 40-50 years down the line if the building become dilapidated and a developer come knocking with offer to put the building down and build something else, each co-owner would get their respective share of the proceeds, ie. the value of the land and what's left of the building, other option is for all owners to chip in and rebuild the building, which is unlikely the insurance are also unlikely to cover enough for replacement either I don't think this has happened yet to freehold condo in Bangkok, earliest building with condo title in Bangkok are probably 40-45 years old, there's bound the be one soon,

Cannabis leaf are classified as produce and don't need to incur the VAT right? Just pay the corporation tax on the income if your shop is registered as a company Being high value, you could launder a lot of income, say you clam to sell 2-300kg a month and pay legit tax on that, come filing day next year, the tax man are not gonna come looking for evidence that you've grown all the weeds yourself, the fertilizer, water and electricity bills

Kawasaki introduces 2 new 400s at the Bangkok motor show.

Apart from the engine sounds, I doubt I'll be able to appreciate or enjoy the difference the 4cylinder 400 over the less expensive 650, definitely not on the roads of Thailand -
Cleaning a cassette type in the middle of the bedroom could mean mess all over the bed as oppose only 1 wall of the room, even if it needs cleaning less often than the wall type, you wouldn't want the tech climbing over your bed to service the unit maybe

had an installer refuses to install an oversized invertor unit stating that the ballpark figure the sales guy did was wrong and oversold us, claiming that being oversized means it will run 'throttled' all the time and will not feel as cold as what we're used to, this was a Mitsubishi dealer that only sold one brand, they took everything back and refunded the difference and deliver us the proper sized unit later. apparently they had spades of complaint and return due to the invertor unit 'not feeling as cold' as the normal units

Utapao is convenient if you can get someone to pick you up, but to get a taxi from there when you land can be a ripoff now that Air Asia no longer fly the route it's not so convenient now

it used to be that it's registered as 'members only' club probably due to licensing and not competing with other retailer, you're supposed to get a day pass even to enter if you hadn't bring your card even but if you turn up at the cashier and say ' no habe' when they ask for the membership card, they'll happily scan the card for 'no member' they have at the till instead. They still have rules that don't make sense is that in order to get a membership, you need to spend like 3,500 baht in a day to qualify for the free membership, For businesses, membership means you get the full VAT invoice without needing to ask for it, and that's it For credit cards They only accept Citibank cards, but now that UOB has taken over Citi's Thai operation all UOB cards should be accepted too QR codes and TrueMoney is also accepted

Run your own ground from the adaptor for sensitive device

not for the life of the vehicle, but if you want to retain the warranty then yes, it has to be serviced by authorized centers If they want to retain such rights, the only way they can enforce that is by leasing out the vehicle/battery only and never letting you 'own' your own car Even for ICE cars, Thailand don't have provision for you to change oil by competent person such as yourself or outside garage and the Manufacturers still honoring their warranty when something big like engine blows up

I thought healthcare in Thailand was supposed to be cheap?
digbeth replied to Startmeup's topic in Health and Medicine
Took a relateive who got referred to a second or third tier private hospital to have an ultrasound where the local government hospital was too busy and they have a partnership with this private hospital, this was in very industrial part of Samut Prakarn and was surprised to see they were quite busy with middle eastern patients, while they were close to the Airport, there are no good hotels nearby and bussing the relative in from Nana is gonna be tedious in traffic, but this hospital has team of translator just like in Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad. I doubt they'll be charging at the same level as Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad. The business must be good that this 'brand' of hospital are sprouting locations with numbers like 4, 5 after their name all over the place, on the same stretch of road I also see different chain hospital doing similar deal, and they have JCI accreditation. Probably only a few of those branch is the 'international' wing of their hospital and the bulk probably handles social security of the factory workers in the area -
Wife Drove Over Neighbour's Dog

put some dent in the car and counter the neighbor with a repair bill from a garage -
the location of charger close to amenities like entrance and toilets is already making the spot being iced, if the charging spot is the only spot with roof in car park/ service station without roof, it's even more tempting to be blocked in by clueless ice drivers

while the X-ADV 750 id definitely the better bike, for grocery shopping the underseat storage on the 750 is a lot smaller than the 350s, maybe parts will be more expensive, when the first gen X-ADV came out things like footpegs and rear racks are only available out of italy and they cost a lot, not sure if there's more aftermarket parts now NC750 has same engine and transmission and bigger wheel that'll actually go off road better too

The weekend 'sprinter' service to Pattaya (Phlu Taluang) is the only route that class of train is being run at all, last I checked in January it's still being run on saturday and sunday the route no. is 997/998 as opposed to the regular service https://www.railway.co.th/Service/PopularTrainDetail?value1=00DE5502B5AA7B42A92BE9FF953D8EBD010000002459500A5C30461B1381CE058A2E7EBC40464F5672DFBA095EA22401B63E8AFB&value2=00DE5502B5AA7B42A92BE9FF953D8EBD010000002EC18817C2BAD533A2A75DDD750BF121F2B674E04DB31EC724C9C00CE0AC5819

Hua Lampong, Bang Sue is for Northern and Southern routes for now, Unless you really enjoy trains, bus are better options, there's only 1 train a day, and un-airconditioned on weekdays, BTS ride to Ekamai and coach to Pattaya and even with the worst traffic you'll still beat the train

Honda never officially made jacked up wave here in Thailand (unless you count the CT125) For current Model there's Suzuki Crossover for past models, in 2008 there's Tiger Smart CX , Tiger Smart was Thai brand's Wave copy, the CX model came from the factory with braces in the frame from the factory plus other off road looking farkles

If anything goes wrong it's probably gonna be an ambulance ride to the nearest hospital, of which there are many in the area, surprisingly the mall this clinic was in was full of beauty clinics probably for the same reason. We went to had a look and felt confident with the doctor, low cost would probably from him being efficient with his time, having the patients prepped and lined up, the surgery was only 20-30 minute tops, the doctor and 1 assistant plus a few nurse was a very tightly run operation and earning enough to justify mall rent despite only operating 3 days in a week.
