I see 4 issues with pedestrian crossings. First, they are often placed within 5 metres of a 4-way junction, often times there is a building on the corner, hiding the crossing from View. Secondly, they are so dirty. They are often impossible to see, only people with local knowledge know they are there. Thirdly, pedestrians seem to think they are supposed to wait for the traffic to stop before stepping out, this is incorrect, you should step onto the crossing and appear to be assertive, not timid. Finally, the vehicles seem to think they have priority and won’t stop for timid looking pedestrians. I step straight out onto them, assertively and make it clear that they will have to stop or hit me. I’m always ready to jump out of the way but it’s rarely necessary..

I can't remember whether it was GBox or Aurora Store, I had to install "Downloader by AFTVnews" first then enter the code to get Smart Tube (28544). It's the same process I followed on a couple of Android TV's.

I successfully loaded Smart Tube yesterday, now I can watch youtube in the car without adverts. I also loaded Waze and ABRP together with updating Google Maps, I will test them this week.

I very much doubt it is a wind up, this is exactly what I would expect if I sold over GBP 10,000 crypto on (say) CEX.IO and transferred the funds to my UK bank account without pre-warning the bank and getting their nod in advance. In my case I would point them to the transactions I made 18 years ago transferring significant funds from their bank to Thailand and suggest that it's not unreasonable for me to have bought crypto and want to bring it back. I'm not sure how they would react to bypassing Thailand's exchange controls, hopefully that wouldn't interest them.

ITAC is a technology for AWD affecting the torque at each wheel including negative torque if needed to correct skids and even predict them before it happens.

And an insurance company regulated by Nevis would have no problem in telling you who the underwriter is in your policy document. The important part of my post you removed, let me add it here ” One of the bad reviews on Trustpilot points out that 6 of the 5* reviews are made by officers or associates of the company. The contract been insured and insurer is based on integrity. Clearly, when the CEO and officers of the company have none on Trustpilot, that is a big red flag for me. “ Additionally, many of the 5* reviews appear to have been written by a review agency, there are word-for-word duplicate posts from different customers and some even talk about the wrong type of product.

It’s currently about 12,600 baht per night which is completely ridiculous. You can fly return to the Dusit Princess 5* resort on Phu Quoc and stay one night for the same cost. Nearly 90,000 baht for a week at the KataThani, yet it’s fully booked.

This is my favourite wine at about 750 baht a bottle from VinesToVino in Pattaya.

The Thai tax code specifically defines crypto and if you bought it on an authorized Thai exchange, you add the profit to your taxable income.

My understanding is you would add the 50k to your taxable income.

I saw that one too. Australia is very different to Thailand, here electricity is cheap, even on the fast charging network which is huge in Thailand. I’ve never seen a broken charger and I would have no hesitation in driving from one end of Thailand to the other and I wouldn’t even bother to plan my stops. Charging stations are rarely further apart than 20Km here.

You add it to your taxable income.

The big companies all have credible underwriters with massive funds. There are a couple of insurance companies who don’t exist in Thailand (escape the Thai regulator) but sell here through agents. They appear to both be registered in Nevis and one of them in London as a broker. I think they are Ponzi schemes. One of the bad reviews on Trustpilot points out that 6 of the 5* reviews are made by officers or associates of the company. The contract been insured and insurer is based on integrity. Clearly, when the CEO and officers of the company have none on Trustpilot, that is a big red flag for me.

The OP has been exceptionally foolish. AMLO kicks in at GBP 10,000 or unusual activity. He should have discussed with a bank branch manager first and got approval to do it. Now the bank will want to see where and when he bought it. HMRC will also want their cut, I think it’s CGT but I’m not sure.

Another tip is check your insurance company on Trustpilot especially the bad reviews, at least one insurance company operating in Thailand appears to have paid a review agency to boost their ratings, with obvious errors like praising the wrong product.
