  1. if your sim card can receive SMS while you are outside thailand, than you can set up any bank app no problem. and of course, your thai phone no. has to be registered with the thai bank. than the bank send SMS to confirm your number,and the app can be approved.
  2. bangkok bank has this form for new accounts. did'nt ou sign it when opened the account? i think it is sufficient. do not worry about FATCA because thailand is not part of the reporting world.
  3. i only wish, seriously, that she will not be raped or sexually harrased on her way back home. just from seeing this photo i get but worried. why those three idiots are standing like that besides the poor woman? pathetic and disgusting.
  4. YOUR questions are the answers. propably when the husband died the business started to disfunction. hungry neighbours eyes saw an opportunity to take over some properties, and when the woman showed weakness - they called police. remember that in thailand the snitch gets 30% of the seized assets, legally, so it is a motivation strong enough to keep an eye on each other.
  5. IT IS all politics around this pandemic, which many doubt it was ever a pandemic. i follow the changing restrictions from different countries around the world, and see how it is all based on politics and not so much about health issues. For xample, entrance from mexico to the U.S. is much easier than from Brazil to the U.S. although the pandemic is much worse in mexico than in brazil (mexico admitted to cheat with the numbers).
  6. in the famous FOZ DO IGUACU park, there are four prices: one price for brazilians, one for argentinians, one for south americans and another one for all the rest. makes sense to me, becuase it is like "national" park, and anyway not a product you consume daily. health services, on the other hand, are another realm. much more complicated. i was never charged more when i went to local clnics. but i am still upset with the 8000 baht i had to pay for 3 PCR tests when entered thailand. propably the highest price in the world. total rip off.
  7. sure doctor, but investors also consider all factors, and they do not wait in line for thailand. the world is full of so many better options.
  8. wait i have a better idea ! 1 mil.foreigners and 2 trilion baht....nowait, make it 3 ! yes 3 triliion baht investment !!
  9. i was wondering indeed what happans if i get infected. now i got the answer. how could it be any different? milking the farang as much as they can. on the other hand, thai are also forced to get into isolation in A state facility, but in much worse conditions. i guess anyone coming to thailand should expect this. but not anyone is aware of this.
  10. WHAT was you % return on investment in USD within those 7 years? than compare it to the same investment in your home country and see if it was worth it if you do live in thailand than it is a different story, but even than you might be better off renting in thailand and buying in a stable free market country.
  11. me too. in worst case senario they might confiscate all foreigners properties and tell them to <deleted> off, the way it happaned in cambodia in the 70's. another reason is that the return on real estate in thailand is very bad, hardly bit inflation in hard currency terms, propably because of the same reason - no investor will want to put his or her hard earned money in a country that looks half built and full of ever changing strange laws and regulations, like allowing only 49% ownership in condo building ...what da....give me a break .
  12. interesting to note that while all over asia, ex. japan but incl. singapore and of course china, foreigners are not allowed to own land, in farang countries - EU US UK AND THE AMERICAS - chinese thai and asians can come and buy all the land they can pay for.... just to remove any racist feelings, the definition for "foreigner" is not based on race but on citizenhip. i wonder what will happan if 10million farang will get citizenship in thailand and will start to buy land....hmmmm....that will be a chalenge to law makers.
  13. WELL, welcome to LOS (s-scams). when they do not reply to you it means the answer is no, but still they are afraid that you will leave and want to avoid confrontation. what the school did was simply to take you for a fool and to cheat you. As for the thai labor laws - well, truth is that there are no laws in this country or at least there is no way to implement them. to sue the school will cost you dearly, with very low chance of success. the school did what it did in elusive ways so it will be hard for you to prove it in court of law. Now it is your choice if to stay with them, and how to stay with them. What i would do is paying back in the same selfish manipulative manner: keep on working just to get the benefits while looking for ways to abuse their system, and for another employer, maybe even in another country.
  14. YES you can enter from colombia but not via sandbox. you will have to go for full 14 days , yes you need yellow fevr vaccine if you come from colombia or brazil. for more info check IATA site. or skyscanner.com
  15. I got an online ad about a new way to become a billionare within few months, involving investment in crypto. it is promoted or operated by a billionaire called takhsin, do you think it it a good investment?
  16. the point is that you can get free flights that cost a lot of money. no other card gives it. in some countries trading in miles is big business and you can sell them for cash, but not in thailand. anyway, say you spent half million baht with you card in a year. it is worth 28,000 miles on cris aliance - air ticket to europe, 2 way.
  17. I also used to suspect taxi drivers for taking long routes and demanded from them exact change, but than i saw a post here in this forum, explaining how poorare taxi drivers in thailand are, and how the meter system makes them work so hard for so little. it made me realise that it acctually does not pay the taxi driver to take longer routes, and anyway the price is so cheap - around70-80baht for 30-40 minutes drive, and from that day on wards i started leaving the small change as tip for the driver. say the meter says 63 baht, and i pay 100 baht, i will take only 70 baht as change. they deserve it.
  18. 3 MONTHS after getting the non-O itself or 3 months aftergetting the one year ?
  19. i have a question regarding re-entry permits. when should i pay for annual multi entry permit, or whatever they call it? can it be on the same day i get the non-O visa?
