  1. Many photo printing shops reduce a colour copy of your passport and visa page to a credit card size and laminate it. Around 100 baht, easy peasy!
  2. I believe most foreigners living in Thailand are at poverty level in their home countries.
  3. When you enter the reason for the transfer, the arrival times differ, by quite a bit! Personal expenses, etc., are the fastest, you can see what works for you.
  4. I would strongly suggest this is a problem on your computer(s). I have had not problems on either PC or phone app. I guess if you can't log in, your only alternative to call one of their helpline numbers: +44 808 175 1506 +32 262 03 420 +1 888 501 4041 +1-888-908-3833
  5. Agree. And to make matters worse, the locals are basically untouchable, by the cops or anybody else!
  6. I wish this forum would not allow repeated posts every few minutes, it would keep a topic from being hijacked by a couple bickering members....
  7. So, same story as usual, big private hospitals insisting on expensive unnecessary treatments, I for one, will be boycotting them for the forseeable future!
  8. First of all, we DID extradite him once to face trial, where he was proven innocent by the courts, then he returned to Canada. We can not just keep on shipping people back and forth according to wishes of any country, Canada HIGHLY values human rights. You had your chance, France, now give it up.
  9. Because Putin does not want to be tried in an international court and jailed, and asked his buddy to do the needful?
  10. Great to see a Thai in power talking sense! Putting these "entertainment complexes" into already overcrowded major cities is a recipe for disaster. People wanting to go to a casino will easily travel 30 minutes out of town for the privilege!
  11. He was NOT "jailed" as stated in the headline, he was only given house detention!
  12. You're switching from April, one of the most expensive, to Pacific Cross, one of the cheapest?
  13. If this continues, AirBNB will be banned (again?) in Thailand. And why are they focusing on this one condo? I bet all of them in the Nana area have this problem.
  14. Agents can do many things that we can not. Approach a reputable one, and see if they can do it for you.
  15. Hey, she didn't step on his head, or even his feet! She apparently stepped onto the base of the statue!
  16. In view of the treaty signed in Budapest in 1994, the US agreed to help and defend Ukraine against any military invasion by any party. Can the Supreme Court in the US now take up this issue on an urgent basis, and rule that the US has to immediately re-instate all military aid? In other words, can the Supreme Court rule against Trump's knee-jerk reaction to a petty personal squable, to save lives in the Ukraine?
  17. If all your business is in the UK I don't understand why you want to open any type of company now in Thailand. Continue with existing operation in the UK, and deal with taxes as your accountants in both countries advise. When you open a guesthouse in Thailand, do it via a Thai company of which you own 49% and your wife also 49% and the 2% balance in the name of a trusted friend / lawyer.
  18. Trump is, to me, an enigma. It is yet to be proven if he is a blustering fool, or a genius. Federal employment needed to be trimmed, so he gets a point for that. Whether or not his debacle with Zelensky was simply to strong-arm them to signing a deal for minerals, with giving away Ukrainian land to the Russki's for a permanent cease-fire, remains to be seen, as it did not materialize. Whether or not he has the kohona's to stick up to the protection treaties with Taiwan and Phillipines has still to be known. I dunno. Waiting and watching.
  19. Yes, for those of us who drive, soalbundy, a little more information would be really helpful, such as the name of this unusually efficient insurance company also. Thank You!
  20. Don't believe it for a second! At the least, the captain and others on the bridge would have been aware, because there have been reports they do maneuver around to hide behind other boats to do the dumping.
  21. Been through many airports with it in the carry on, never a problem.
  22. Anybody familiar with this road? Could have been a one way road, could it not?
