How many times do I have to tell you the facts, he didnt realize they were in his baggage. If you have comprehension problems, please cease and desist from your unfounded comments.

People always have excuses, how ridiculous is it to even say that he didn't realize.

Next time he will be smarter maybe.

It's good to have some Thai friends ... but just a couple of close ones.

Expats friends,  well no,  because all you ever get from an farang is whinging ....  they always see the negatives in anything, never the positives ... as such I stay away from them.

I do not mess with low so farangs...

Hello, any update or recent experience ? Thank you.

Dude.....calm down.

 

Different folks different strokes. I never grew up with any silver spoon in my mouth, and I've just been trying to provide a good future my my family and myself. You don't agree with my methods, that's up to you.

 

I will say one more thing to you though. I don't know how many Thai friends you have, but generally speaking I would say that foreigners in Thailand don't have many, if any Thai friends, but I have found Saudis on the whole to be very friendly people, and I've made goods friends. Some of the guys I work with are great guys who would go out of their way to help you in the best tradition of Arab hospitality. 

 

It's a very exciting time to be here right now what with all of the social changes going on. 

 

I'm fairly sure if I knew more about your life there would be things I'd disagree with. But live and let live. 

 

I'll still be sleeping well tonight, as will my family. 

I have no interest in Thai friends and I am sure to be even less interested to know any muslim of this world, even if they would pay me to socialize with them. I have face and pride.

No LOS anymore but LOC ! LAND of CHAMPIONS...

I love reading all your grumpy old man posts <3

Jealous that a teen can make more money than you all reunited, right ? hahaha

I'm guessing that I'm not typical from most of the posts on here. A lot of people seem to be of an advanced age.

 

I left Thailand five years ago aged 35. Took a leap into the dark and got a job in Saudi. I didn't want to be wasting the biggest earning years of my life in Thailand, wake up at 50 with some hazy memories, and most importantly no cash in the bank!

 

The first three years in Saudi were spent getting on the ground experience, and finding our feet. Thai wife and two kids have been here the while time too. 

 

The past two years have been spent working for the Saudi military on a very good number. The kind of cash that the vast majority of expats can only dream of. Recently purchased a very nice villa in Hua Hin cash after just two years of saving, so absolutely no regrets about leaving Thailand on that front. 

 

Downsides have been that Saudi has been hard for my wife for obvious reasons. On the other hand we tapped into the Thai community here and made some great friends, some of which I would like to think are for life. 

 

My final thought would be that Thailand is for when you're young and single, or when you're old and retired. 

 

The years in the middle are better off being spent elsewhere. 

 

I left at 35 after 12 years, in hindsight I wished I'd left at 30.

Even for $100000/month I would not live in any retarded territory.

How lucky is your family to live in that sh*thole just because you were not able to make good money in Thailand.

Poor them.

Do you mean that you have any other wrong information ?!

I am wondering if for such a long overstay it would be better to take an illegal boat to China or Japan and then declare overstay there just after arrival ? They would send her back to Thailand, not Korea I guess ? Please tell me if I am wrong.

At least if she got bored with Korea she could discover a new country, even if sent to jail there :-)

Thanks again. Can you tell me what to buy to make a dry car wash ?

Ohhhhh why does it have to be so complicated. I have reached out to three attorneys and gotten three different answers also. But they all want money with no guarantee haha I'm not that stupid

I understand them, sorry but it seems easy to understand that you start from far...

The company register you as a director of the company. Once you are a director you can apply for a non 'B' visa for the purpose of 'conducting business'. The documents you will need to provide the Embassy/Consulate varies, but evidence that you are the director will be the main requirement to meet the reason for your need to visit. It's possible to get a 1 year multiple entry visa.

Thank you !

You could become a Director (non executive) that would qualify you to get a Non-immigrant ‘B’ visa. You can be a Director without a work permit as long as you’re not involved in the day to day running.

 

Being an investor is not a job (work) and doesn’t qualify for getting a work permit.

How to be a director and get a non B ?

Thank you.

Thank you, how much did you pay ? For sun cover you just needed a cheap tarpaulin, why paying anything custom made ?!

I have found this, best quality and most famous in Thailand it seems, do you know them ?

Thank you.

So lucky that so many people keep reporting their life. Never reported anything and will never, so these people keep focusing on you.

You start from far...

If it's good enough for the locals, then it's probably good enough for me.

Some foreigners are just too good to mix with the local populations.

 

I quite like Filipinos, very friendly, unlike Thais whom I distrust.

I used public transportation when I was young and not smart enough to make a lot of money.

Aren't we supposed to improve our lifestyle ?

I do not plan to travel like a backpacker when I will be 60 hahahaha

Many things are good for the poor, local or not, but not for me !

I wish that anybody working in a kitchen or selling food would wear one.

To the OP, I reckon your ultrasound devices will work to a certain extent, but not as advertised.

 

They will likely boost your self confidence while dealing with the dogs you encounter, but that's it. And sometimes that is all that is needed.

 

If someone can show me these things working successfully on a security dog or attack dog then I might start believing.

 

Personal opinion of course..........

Yes, self confidence is the only problem. Show to a dog that you are scared and he will attack you. Show that you have bigger balls than him and he will cry.

I have never needed anything even against big aggressive dogs.

I just signed up to Omise for a test account and it looks like you can register a live account as an individual or a business. Different documents are required to approve the account type.

You talked about individual in this post.

As individual, are you sure ? In the past they didn't allow.

Im looking for a means of accepting card payments for my Thailand based company and a potential software application we want to sell so thanks ryanhul for the mention about Omise as I hadn't heard of them before,

 

I already contacted SiamPay and they emailed me a long list of requirements which we probably could accommodate but we are just starting up the project and just want to test it out and it looks like Omise might be a bit more easier to get started with on a smaller scale and with what potentially maybe lower fees. The system looks similar to that of Stripe. I'll probably try to sign up. Anyone else had any experience with a merchant account for a small Thailand based business?

 

Also, our Thai company was given a savings account at Bangkok bank which is an account that doesn't have a debit or credit card available and all transactions are 'over the counter' only with a company stamp so its not possible to pay for online services such as advertising, hosting, and everything else, from this account.

 

I asked at one of the smaller Bangkok bank branches and they told me I needed to ask for a checking account at one of the larger BKK bank branches although I remember asking for internet banking for the company account a few years ago and they just said something along the lines of 'not available for this account'. I wasn't able to find an English speaking employee at this particular branch and so it was difficult to make any headway and regrettably my Thai language isnt good enough yet to negotiate corporate banking facilities. 

 

Does anyone have any experience with a bank that is 'straight forward' to obtain a business debit or credit card for a Thai business or are there any restrictions and/or requirements to meet? 

 

Also I suppose a personal visa/mastercard debit or credit card would do in the meantime to test things out but it would need to be for my Thai personal bank account. Im with Kasikorn bank and im not sure if the debit card would work online or not? Any ideas?

 

 

Why using a company account when it is so easy to use a personal account.

Also, Thaiepay is a lot easier to set up a payment pateway, especially if you use a Thai name, no need to register any company, just as with Paypal !

I set up online payment for Thai who makes 100k+/month profit and they also never paid any tax.

You should read up on canine psychology its way more effective than any of these devices will be.

 

Have you ever seen how wild dogs/wolves etc hunt? ...running is the worst thing you can do!

You are right, so many people in this country are not even able to control dogs but dream that they could control Thai women.,,

Leaving no, but also leaving in Cambodia that is for sure a better choice for the future.
