Sad way to live. You must be very lonely.

Just stating facts. Take it leave it. You're the one emotionally involved.

I pay $10/month for a dedicated unlimited usa skype # that calls any phone in America any time. Had it for over 4 years. Voice quality great 95% of time. Just a normal call for anybody there to you. Can't send sms or do video call though except if the receiver has skype, even free version. I use mine as you want, mostly business, bank etc. Good luck.PM me for details if you want.

OK. I get it. Beautiful troll BTW.

Uh oh! The windup begins. Find some sober time alone and consider the chances of such a 'coincidence happening to you. Tread very lightly and carefully and take lots of time before making decisions. Read every word given you for replies here. Some replies will of course be nonsense, but the truth is there too. Good luck!

I'm talking about the difference in the vote counts not colored dots on a map. Normal people don't require colored pictures to understand issues

There is a saying? Hmmm. Never heard it. Is this the recent election or all past elections? I could swear I remember some Democrat presidents in the past. Trump edged by, hardly a mandate. But by all means carry on with your fantasy ride.

Shameful pandering to power. Disgusting. Is there anything associated with these two that isn't?

The OP picture tells the story. I was replying to the OP. BUT......again like it or not, humans all use their own personal form of social profiling on those they encounter. I judge people by the way they dress,the way they act, and how they speak among many other factors. Who doesn't, whether they admit it or not? I certainly do. What I stated is my form. I'm sure you have your own form. BTW, stereotypes are real and often very definitively correct.

I'm speaking of large areas of skin. Not little bunnies or flowers.

Exactly my point.

Fair or not having tattoos can and often does carry a social stigma. If nothing else it's certain that such folks crave attention. Nobody paints their skin unless they want to be noticed.

When people ask me what I think Trump will do I tell him to just stop. Conjecture is worthless and just causes emotional distress. What I tell them is no matter what you can imagine what will actually happen will be much worse. Identify Trump's policies that would personally affect you and focus on mitigating any harm for yourself and stop worrying about other people and the problems he's going to cause them.

If it is drawn down to nil the bank closes it in time. No worries mate.

Good info. Thanks

All good thoughts. Thanks. My 1 MHz organic processor is all I need at this point in my life!

I did exactly the same this year but had OA for 5 years immediately before with no violations of any kind. To a my amazement when I went to convert to the type of Visa they actually challenged the 800k I had in a timed account for several years as to whether it came from foreign sources. So I had to jump through my a** to go to Bangkok bank and get complete record showing that all of the money had originally come from foreign Bank transfers and it took 2 days to get all that information and then they finally allowed my O Visa. That was totally unexpected. Hua hin office. Might be good for him to clearly prove his 800k account before doing the visa conversion. Good luck.

I like your reasoning and humility about your knowledge on this subject. I feel the same. I, like you, have an account here built over the years. However, since I am almost positive that my social security payment is fully exempt, I transfer 1 million thb from my Wise 'baht jar' to my Thai account each year. I don't need any more than that to live comfortably here since I own my house outright. Over each year I put money into the baht jar when the exchange rate is good. I NEVER use a foreign credit card here, only an ATM card from BBL. So my question was mostly about whether a Wise debit card transactions has visibility to TRD. I have chosen to play defense on the Thai tax situation. That is I retrieved and documented my usa bank balance over the last five years as proof that I had substantial usa funds well before 2024. I also keep records all FTT (foreign telegraphic transfers) into Thailand every year. I even went to my local BBL branch and had them provide records ,in great detail, of all my incoming transfers for the last five years. This included precise dates/ times and even the exchange rate of the transfer. I needed this early this year when immigration claimed I had to prove that my required 800k bank balance for conversion of my OA visa to O visa was from foreign sources even though it has been in a single timed account at BBL fir over 5 years set up specifically for that immigration requirement. It was lunacy for them to challenge its validity. BBL staff was happy to accommodate and immigration accepted their records. So I will not seek a TIN until forced to. At that point I will have documentation of years past to prove I owed no taxes here and thus cannot potentially penalized for not filing earlier. Other posters are correct: keeping detailed records is the best policy. As you say, I will watch the situation unfold but won't panic at all. ====/=========/====== BTW, my CPU is pretty old too. I got my first one in 1976, a KIM 1. It was a single PC board the size of an A4 sheet. But it had a real engine under that deceptively simple hood! 1Mhz 8 bit MOS TECHNOLOGY processor, 4k of UV Rom, and a full 1kx8 bytes of static ram as well as a 6 digit 7-segment hexadecimal display AND a 16 key keyboard. I did all the programming on machine language. Programs were stored on a cassette tape player. Who could ask for more? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MOS_KIM-1_IMG_4211_cropped_scale.jpg PS: I sold it on ebay this year for $1,900!

I agree with your perspective but don't know for certain that you are correct on all counts though. What I am sure of though is that I also filee FBAR (FATCA) every year with my US taxes and all they want is your final balance of the Thai bank accounts at the end of each tax year. I give them no other information. Personally I also find it hard to believe that the Thai government has access to credit/debit card transactions (not ATM) in Thailand which leads me to believe that if one uses debit cards like the Wise card for purchases here in Thailand there will be no record of it. So if one were to purchase a large amount of precious metals let's say with a debit card then I doubt there would be a record of it but that would be the equivalent of bringing money into the country. I also presume that if the quantity spent at a gold shop was large enough and the vendor wasn't paying any credit card charges on top of it then I suspect they would be amenable to the situation. Does anybody have a perspective on that situation?

This is the sad ending to so many of the things I purchase here. That's why I choose many times to just tackle the problem myself rather than wasting time with the people that are so called experts on the problem. If nothing else it gives me it a reason to buy more tools!

I opened Wise in America and have the physical card. You say I can use on Shopee online. Have you used it with lazada? Thanks

A puppy crawled under my front gate and entered my property June 5th 3 years ago. She was covered with fleas and dirty and nearly starving to death. The vet said she was 2 to 3 weeks old at the time. I washed her and took her to the vet and had her spayed a fewmonths later and she's been with us ever since. It's a real joy and a great addition to our lives. Yes? She will grow out of it. Puppies don't really grow a brain until they're about 2 years old. Until then it's a problem to keep up with them. It's all part of the joy of owning a dog. I guess if you can't take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

Thanks. Now that the bank transfer issue gas been cured I'll drop the True money idea

Don't despair. My contact and documentation caused BBL to correct the issue within 24hr. Now you too can use that service that I got restored for all lazada users. Don't think for a second that this was a problem unique to my app or my browser; it affected everybody who attempted to pay from BBL with a bank transfer. They proved that by taking immediate action. What have you done this week that helps that many people? Besides adding snarky remarks that helped nobody.

Lots of politicians sell influence. Specifically I'm saying: TRUMP IS THE KING AND PATRON SAINT OF GRIFTERS. One politician acting badly does not excuse it for another. clear enough? end of
