  1. see the colour of your money scam
  2. A separate TOU meter while your previous house meter remains on the old tariff is only possible with EV charger though, they don't want you having the best of both worlds, this is only done in PEA area and not MEA (Bangkok)
  3. The news that the government is going to start collecting VAT on the previously exempt under 1500 baht shipment only applies for online merchant that has presence in Thailand (like Lazada or Shopee) that they can force the VAT on from the moment of purchase. The post office don't have the manpower to check every packages so if your orders slip through the net, it'll continue
  4. How would you check in your pets at the terminal, some airlines allow pets in cabin now.
  5. she 'owned' multiple villas used in her business on the island and has access to a lawyer's service, I'm sure/hope she has proper state of mind to get her lawyer involved in the will before procuring the firearms to end her life
  6. Hopefully for most buyers all they stand to lose is the deposit/ downpayments, the rest is between the Banks and developers, whoever put cash for the whole unit 100% off plan when even when you can wait until completion and there's always units available, the discounts for buying off plan is not worth it
  7. The 'maid' better pray the media circus goes away quickly, or people will start asking how the French women is able to own land, next thing the government will be forced to act and scrutinize use of shell companies to hold land for the whole island
  8. Usufruct was suggested on both his and his wife's Chanote to guard against being absentmindedly giving away the Chanote due to senility he has 1 Chanote, his wife holds the other, if he has his name on the back of wife's Chanote, she can't sell without him agreeing, and vice versa if she is on his Chanote,
  9. Interesting way to list the item, though it's only time they're found out
  10. having anything recorded on the back of the chanote like usufruct or superficies is enough to put off any creditors or banks, so you record a usufruct or superficies on each other's plot
  11. Many other countries would have clearly defined how many days in a year you can stay using visa-exempt the previous and oft-cited 180 days in a year sounds reasonable, could even serve as a guideline for current regime where anything above you're pushing your luck but could be let in after stern warning would no back to back exempt entry or same day re-entry and land border be reasonable? no genuine tourist would pass up a chance to explore Laos, Cambodia or even Malaysia, Would anyone be caught out by this?
  12. Advantage of superficies is that you can sell/transfer or lease out the superficies, but in either case if they don't want you there there's plenty of means where legal protection isn't worth much
  13. Hasn't there been cases where immigration showed up and asks that Juristic office keep a file on all foreigner and TM30s
  14. 300 baht sounds like local cable, are you in Pattaya or someplace like that with Local Cable company? they re-broadcast digital terrestrial as well as some international channels over the cable in both digital and maybe still analog, as long as the new TV has aerial input you'll be okay, most new TV should still have them and able to tune into the cable's channel, wifi and internet are optional and you don't have to use it
  15. The way the air force sees it, AOT, the airport authority is a private enterprise that is depriving them of their perceived income from use of their 'land' the fact that the land goes back to the government which them reassigned to whomever they see fit has no bearing on this
  16. Previously what did you watch on the old TV? the TV that has wifi or internet connection usually don't require it to watch broadcast over the air like off an aerial or cable box
  17. In case where the Juristic person isn't involved in showing the room and they wouldn't know, you are allowed to have 'friends' over, and if they are concerned about TM30 filing, they are welcomed to help you file it
  18. security updates and latest android version are really required for online banking, if you don't do that on the phone you can continue to use web browser for a few years after it's no longer supported. the lack of distributor in Thailand and parts availability is more of a problem
  19. How much of a discount did you get? I usually buy mine from Apple due to better return policy and customizable options, but if the retailer's discount is big enough, might as well look for a sale with them next time
  20. They accept cards for over 200 baht, foreign credit cards works there still the only reason to use true money app linked with credit card is to circumvent their not accepting cards for purchases below 200 baht
  21. It is unfortunate, the cycling track used to have a bracelet that you use to enter the gate that you can load money into and use to pay for things within the track but they have phrased the using of the bracelet to pay for things out now, but most shops inside there is only setup for cashless since the beginning. SCB bank was the main sponsor of the track and they sort of trialed the bracelet payment but it went nowhere after people start using QR more There used to be that for non cyclist visiting you can get a card from the main office that works like the bracelet and load money onto them like food court card, you can get it from either the office or there's a booth between the food stalls you can get the card from
  22. Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Hongkong banks can use Promptpay QR to pay in Thailand now, and vice versa for Thai accounts holder going to those countries so cross border qr are becoming more common. QR linked credit cards seem up to each merchant to accept, as they'll be paying the usual transaction fee if their customers pay be credit card via QR, if the mechant is stupid enough to pay out someone in cash when they paid using QR credit card the burden of the transaction fee is on the merchant, regular people with just bank account can't accept QR payment using credit cards
  23. You can do that in Thailand.... and lived?
  24. I as afraid the cardless ATM was going to be a new 'lock-in' forcing customers to go to their own bank's ATM to withdraw money from apps, but now that interoperability is here it is welcomed, do you see some standards forming like PromptPay that now has some regional interoperability now Also, If you are at liberty to disclose, What's the uptake for withdrawal by 'Bangkon Agents' ie: at 7-11s like? I don't imagine many takers for this option in urban areas with readily access to ATMs
