Credit cards go through a Thai clearinghouse, and transactions can be reported to the Revenue Department.

even foreign credit card ?

My epson printer scanner does not allow you to scan if you run out of ink . I was thinking of using for scanning but now lay on wayside .

the only requirement is to report once a year to immigration using a tm95 and that's only if you don't exit Thailand in which case the 1-year clock starts again

anyone has experience reporting  tm 95 to their local immigration yet? Trying to avoid going to Bangkok or exit country for annual check in. I live in chiang mai . Thanks 

I got mine yesterday in chiang mai for about 500 baht . my thai friend who owned land/house (value less than 5 mil bah)  said no tax for them. Is property tax for expats with condo only?

Scuba3,

thanks

Does anyone know how condo owner’s unit are accessed our annual property tax . I guess it is per sqm but is it the same for all ( Thai Or foreigners) and  is specific to the local district tax. Appreciate 

Thanks everyone. My findings :

i went to the icare in central festival . This is the same company that has offices in both central airport and maya.

not satisfied with their level of technical expertise / service so will try below as suggested .

Appreciated all your comments 

Hi,

Any recommended places to repair ipad out of warranty in  Chiang mai . I am aware of the ICARE in Central Airport/Maya plus the Studio 7 in Central Festival and Maya. I called Apple directly. Apple Support advised to go an authorized dealer. Apparently, authorized dealer can repair free if it is not a hardware problem and also they can give you a estimate price to fix it. There is no cost to estimate to repair. Any thoughts much appreciated/.

From some googling this morning I get the impression motor shows are a small part of Telsa's marketing plan....along with avoid "paid" advertising.  Apparently it's common for Tesla  to skip many of the biggest auto shows worldwide...selective in what exhibitions they participate in.

Tesla absent from China’s largest annual auto show - Global Times

 

 

 

 

To add to Pib's note, Tesla do not have distributors too. Luckily for Tesla, I understand from Youtuber Electric Viking that in China currently, about 20% of the distributors are making money. China is going through a rough time in the automobile sector. 

Second after Toyota , bkk motor show .

Never dipping below 100k in a bank account used for health self-insuring --  be interesting to 100% prove. Probably asking only for end-of-year statements would be the solution.

I did my ltr with a health plan insurance .
Anyone if one can change from insurance coverage to the self insure 100 k during the 5 years?

Does the 100K cash have to be one account account or can be spread to a few accounts?

EV used car market is a huge unknown at the moment as finance and banks aren’t to g lending on used EV at the moment

interesting info. I am sure this is bad for the ev resale market as I would think most buyers finance than pay cash . Ice cars going to be around ..

Due to recent floods, I read on Facebook that car insurance does not cover water damage battery due to flood . Is this norm for 1sr class insurance in Thailand ? For those who bought cars that includes insurance , I hope flood and fire is included . Any thought about which insurance company has better coverage ?

can confirm the new 410 models all have PM2.5 filtration, the cheaper model does not display the PM2.5 level, it probably doesn't have the sensors but it does have the filter.

thanks , good to know that it have pm 2.5 filteration , only does not have sensor to display the readings, in/out . Appreciate your reply .

Andrew,

thanks , my bad . I meant the 50kwh standard dynamic 410 for 899k model . 
I am sure the BKK motor show will confirm if this model has pm 2.5 filteration present .
Thanks . 

Pm 2.5 is essential here up in the north. I  am sadden to read the new 2024 BYD Otto dynamic 480 priced at 889k does not have it . It might be an omission by the media publisher . Anyway at least the next model, 945k Otto 3 premium 480 has the pm2.5. 

JB,

I saw this on Facebook of their pm2.5 reading here in chiang mai .

it is certainly not 5 .

That brand new car price for Bt889K the dealer quoted is probably below 

 

 

 

aarg, found out that Byd took out the pm 2.5 filter from the dynamic . Guess BYD had to cut some stuff out to sell it at 899k. However they did upgrade battery 50.25 , continental tires and reduce 100k. 

looks cool , same price as current BYD Otto xtd, 1099k with similar upgrades as the BYD Otto 410 , 949k . All coming after may.

I can just see me in the drive thru, with the clerk scratching his head and calling higher authority -- while ten cars behind me are warming up their horns... I've got a few months to decide about Star Visa. They're a lot closer to me than Imm, plus no parking problem or streets to cross. Beside, hey, I'm a Wealthy Pensioner -- why worry about 1000 baht

It was a no go with central festival immigration . They told me to go Bangkok for tm 95. So star visa must be dealing with someone at the airport immigration. Hope it is true that chiang mai immigration can process tm 95.
