  1. Don't worry, your funds are safe with your bank. The transaction was declined due to a technical issue. The bank will typically reflect the funds back to your account within a short time. If you're concerned about the delay, you can contact your bank directly and reference the declined transaction. If you're using a Thai credit card, they should be able to expedite the refund process, often completing it within 24 hours.
  2. GF means not wife right? At least in paper. If no, then it is no. You can however don't pay your tax and tax man if they came for you. You may gift them.
  3. It depends on where your land is located. If it is in the south or central part of Thailand, I would plant durian trees. However, they are not easy to manage. I have spent 9 years and approximately 30,000 baht per rai annually on maintenance. Each tree can produce up to 80-110 durian fruits per year. The market rate for each fruit is 100 baht per kilogram, meaning that each tree can generate up to 36,000 baht. Under Thai law, you can plant up to 25 trees per rai, so each tree should earn you 6,000 baht per year. If you have 10 rai of land, you could earn (25 trees x 10 rai) * 6,000 baht = 1,500,000 baht annually. However, durian trees are very difficult to maintain. There is a chance that they will die. It takes 7-10 years for them to produce fruit. *My wife owns 20 rai of farmland in the south. The durian trees are already planted there, so I did not have to wait for them to produce fruit. However, it may take some time for your investment to pay off. In my opinion, the price of durians will only go up. It is very unlikely that they will go down. Teak trees would not be profitable because you can buy teak wood at a much cheaper rate like 1/10 cost in Myanmar & Laos.
  4. Yes, I live in Phuket. My house humidity is quite high because I live near the sea. When I go back to my country for a while, for example 4-5 months, I turn on the dehumidifier for 1 -2 hour daily during midnight, as midnight is usually the worst time for humidity.
  5. I apologize for the late reply. The wattage of a dehumidifier depends on the size of the area it is used in. I am not sure if your condo is a studio or has separate bedrooms. I am currently using 4 WIDETECH Dehumidifier 12 L (WDH312NW1) units in my living room, study room, and 2 bedrooms. You can set up the timing through the Xiaomi app, but the machine will need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to do so. The model I am using is 125 watts and can cover an area of up to 25 m2. However, I believe that they can cover a larger area if they have to work harder. I do not think that the electricity costs will be too high. However, if you run them for 1 hour every day, the costs will add up. Maybe set aside 400-700 baht per month to operate this machine?
  6. You could buy Farcent Charcoal Disposable Dehumidifiers, or you could buy tons of charcoal and place them inside multiple rice bags with some kind of ventilation to allow air to circulate.
  7. Just get a widetech dehumidifier. you can set up the timing interval daily, weekly or monthly. The water tube outlet can connect into drain.
