You can either set up a BitKub account, link your Thai bank account and purchase crypto here, then transfer that crypto anywhere you want. The choice of which crypto is upto you. Or use Binance. I use Binance P2P, so I pay cash to someone in Thailand and they transfer the agreed crypto to my Binance account. Both ways are easy if you know what you are doing.

I've been to many places in Isaan, aside from it being sort of nice to see some countryside for a bit there isn't really anything there to make me want to go back, and definitely nothing that would make me want to live there. I think Bangkok is the only place worth living full time.

I can't imagine many tourists use a pool like that. Most hotels have free pools for guests.

Better yet, don't move into somewhere that has damaged or stained anything. Have some standards!

I'm more interested in the 'Beheading'

My thumb is 2 cm in width. My ankle is 8 cm in width. I think you are mixing up width and circumference.

He didn't say that at all. You can just walk in and shop like any regular store. No need to sign up for their card, no membership fee.

A lot of people that wash up on these shores certainly seem to only have half a mind ????

I hope it's not both parties as one of them is dead.

That is a great scam. How did you find the place to book it in the first place?

I'm well under 70 and have lived in Asia all my life. I am working on being able to finally move to an English speaking country. I'm sick and tired of living in an Expat bubble and only being able to enjoy interacting with 1% of the population. I've found myself a Farang GF who I will marry maybe next year and then within a few years hopefully I'll be able to afford for us leave Asia. I have no interest in learning Thai and my fiancee doesn't want to live here long term, we want to be able to put her daughter into a good school without paying millions of baht and when her daughter turn 21 we don't want the family to be split apart because she won't qualify for a dependant visa anymore. Options and choices are very different living here if you are a farang family. I should point out that I love living here except that I don't find Thai women appealing as long term partners. *IF* I was going to stay single (ie hadn't found a Farang GF) then I would stay until I die. But now my situation has changed I am planning to one day leave.

He said he doesn't want to immigrate in the near future, not he doesn't want to immigrate at all. He want to have 10M invested here in fixed deposit or Govt bonds for when he does want to immigrate. Always nice to have options and places you can escape to if things in the country you are living change. Plenty of people out there for whom 10M is pocket change and well done to those people for having figured out how to make lots of money. I wish people who don't have that sort of cash would be a bit less jealous about people with money.

Not a waste of time for some people. In 8 years my step-daughter won't be able to stay in Thailand as my dependent because she'll be 21. At that point I would happily invest 1 million USD for her to be able to stay (assuming she was). The rule that kids cannot be dependents after they turn 21 is terrible as it means kids who've grown up here and no know other country have to leave not only Thailand but their home and their parents!

OK Boomer.

I've lived in Asia for 49 year and after dating quite a few Asian woman and knowing lots of friends who've dated and married them, I am happy to say that my GF (who I met in Bangkok) is not Asian.

Current AI is a lot better than you realise. How many AI tools have you even tried? Are you using the paid version of ChatGPT? Do you even know what the current state of large language models is?

Pretty sure you have no rats now.

What are "phone calls"? Every single person I know sends text based messages through whatsapp, line, fb messenger, telegram, signal or discord. I don't know anyone who uses voice.

I'd believe you. I struggle to understand why anyone likes him. He has zero redeeming features.

I would try Kasikorn Bank. Been with them for 15 years and have nothing but good things to say about them. However I am in Bangkok where things are sometimes easier than they might be in the provinces.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who have less than 500 million and more than 10 million. These stats make it look like there are just super rich Thais and super poor Thais. Very misleading.

Depends on your age. Looking at it on Google Maps I would say it'll be a boring, provincial place with no sophistication at all.

Everyone talking about staying up to work. Didn't any of you do 24 hour or longer drug parties?
