    I believe Schwab would close your account if you told them your address is in Thailand. Schwab International is very good. But as mentioned you need 25K US dollars or the equivalent in stocks to open an account. With Schwab international you can use your Thai address and thai phone number Also getting money from an ATM or wiring money to a Thai bank is free. You do have to ask to get the ATM card, a separate form to fill out.

    I don't know how they say unprovoked attack when she slapped him first.

    I know of one relative that was placed in a care home for awhile but they eventually took her back out of it to save money.

    Farang is not a derogatory word. You just think it is.

    Makes you wonder where all the garbage in Bangkok ends up. Anyway the river does look a lot cleaner nowadays compared to say 20 years ago. But I have seen a fleet of ships going up and down the river that skim garbage from it. Hopefully fixing their problem doesn't mean installing a roller blind so no one can see them dumping trash.

    If it is hidden how did they find it?

    I've seen them cut the fittings on both sides of the pipe and pry the fitting off. Just deep enough to cut the fitting and not the pipe. So they can be removed.

    Hopefully the girl fully recovers.

    I'm sure there are plenty of foreigners living in Thailand that don't ever use this forum. They most likely have never heard anything about having to pay tax on their overseas income and probably never will.

    I roll coal in my daily pickup... it is only 4 yrs old, no annual inspections until it is 7. I am aware of that exemption but most of these vehicles are already past the 7 year mark.

    After smoking they wanted a piece of pai. Mr. Donuts was already sold out.

    I've always wondered how all those pickup trucks that bellow black smoke when they accelerate pass the annual smog check.

    Looked like the guy running away had something in his hand. Perhaps he stole from the delivery driver without paying.

    I'd say 80% are getting paid less than 12,000 baht/month

    You left out the inflated hospital costs.

    Bangkok hospital in Ratchaburi a nice private room is 8,000 baht/night. No idea how much they would charge for a ventilator per day. My wife had a titanium inplant put in her neck, She was in the hospital for about a week. Total charges were about 150,000 baht. This was at Bangkok hospital.

    So you start off by losing 5,000 baht just for entering the door.

    I have recently purchased it on Lazada for 69 baht.

    If you have less than 2,000 baht in an account after 1 year of no activity they will start taking out 50 baht/month until all the money is gone. I was able to reopen an account I had not used in several years with no problem.

    We went to a restaurant yesterday and when we left about 10 of the staff, including the owner all lined up and waied us as we left.

    It's been quite a while since I have signed for a package. Order COD if it's an issue for you. Then they have to contact you. Of course that won't work if you are ordering on Amazon or such. I have not had any packages stolen from me but we live sort of out in the boonies.
