real question is that does it do away the need for hand drawn map? -
some of my powerbank double as usb hub, useful for when your computer only has usb-c and you need to plug regular usb-a things in the only way to be sure is to charge the powerbank, and use the charged powerbank on the phone later

Going back to Australia, in cities you notice horns for what we who are accustomed to in Thailand, to be inane reason to reach for the horn, like the light turn green half a second ago? honk, cars making a u-turn in front, horn, like we both can reach for the brakes, dinging each other and spending 20 minutes exchanging insurance information is not worth it even if you're in the right.

Good idea to have the banking app's PIN they ask when transferring money and such not be the same PIN as your phone unlock code, otherwise if they had remote access to your phone, they could throw up fake lockscreen while queuing up transfers in the background, the moment you try to unlock your phone, poof goes your money. Although most Thai banking app seem to be pretty vigilant on not running on the same phone with anything suspicious like screen sharing/remote access now, the scammer could be really advance and use undetectable method

Some banks require initial facial recognition to be at the branch or ATM, It is mostly to deter mule accounts where some poor folks open an account and sell to scammers for 500-1000 baht, and scammers use it to receive money via phone scams or online gambling, the facial recognition just makes it more difficult to transfer out to other accounts in bulk, these accounts get shut down often as victims report them. If the app lets the user do the initial scan themselves there's no protection against the scammer in control of the accounts scanning their own face instead of the account holder's name on the book, unless the banks has access to the Thai ID database they can compare against It also protects in case of compromised phone to prevent hackers from emptying accounts

Did you know this about 7-Eleven (Thailand)?
digbeth replied to george's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Perfect for the populace to spend that digital wallet -
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?
-
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

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

Minivan passengers pass out from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning

These vans are likely running LPG, you won't smell the exhaust like diesel -
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

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

Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
digbeth replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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 -
could it be that because it's hotter here and it takes more time to cure?

Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
digbeth replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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. -
Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
digbeth replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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 -
Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
digbeth replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
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.
