Tom cruise would say something along the lines of…

If y’all gonna fly jets, may as well fly the best ????

The video of the police reminded me of when I was a kid visiting my grandmas house when all females in the family were there talking, lots of neurotic women all talking over one another, no one actually listening, but all desperately trying to be the one who’s talking.
 

A gaggle of geese etc..

Yes, to all the anti-Westerners “America’s the cause of all the world’s ills” out there, would you really want to live in a world in which Russia or China was the dominant power?

why only rent in future? How long did you own and what problems did you come across?

I didn't make any money on the property, I probably broke even compared to renting. Meanwhile investing in property in other countries has seen good returns. I wouldn't put others off owning its just where I am personally renting would be my preferred choice going forward most likely. 

My 'too little too late' comment referred to the government offering schemes to foreigners to invest, whereas for me I wasn't allowed to buy in my name only my wife's name and its too late as she/we already sold. If I were able to obtain mortgages in my name (even after paying taxes in Thailand long term this wasn't an option for me as I didn't own the property), then we might have held onto it longer, maybe.

It wasn't even affordability, it was the fact I had limited options (and my wife had fewer financial options than I would be expected to have)

In addition to this, the point is foreigners have their hands tied when there is no need for this other than to disadvantage foreigners who have setup a life in Thailand.

Does this help? ????

Just do it through Dee Money.

I looked at Dee Money although it seems cost effective for smaller amounts. Bank transfer worked out cheaper for larger amounts.

Its been a while since I needed to do this and my wife now needs to send just overt 1 million baht to the UK. She has Thai baht in a kasikorn account. She asked at the branch and they informed her she needs to give them one days notice in advance about what she intends to do..?

Has anyone had any issues transferring Baht from Kasikorn or other bank to UK recently?

Also I'm guessing it will be better to do the exchange at the Thai bank rather than the UK bank, is this generally the case?

In the UK? Last time I was there I found I found places that accepted card or cash, I found places that only accepted card, but I never came across anywhere that only accepted cash

Two penny slots

If it was any other building it would be a travesty, however since its a bank, he’s a bloody hero!

That’s too bad. If anyone deserves the death penalty, then it would be this POS.

I'm normally against the death penalty although I hope karma visits him whilst in jail and he gets what is due.. 

out of curiosity does anyone know if one can be scammed taxed upon entry with Thai gold jewelry..

..even i it was exported from Thailand in the first place?

Yes and medical

Are you sure you need residence certificate? I never had to show one before, only the medical. 
 

also what if I’m no longer a resident during the year I need to renew based on having to travel out of the country but I need to maintain my license

- I doubt you need to be a resident.

Fir driving maybe but it does come in handy as a thai government issued id card 

Commodities (metals,oil&gas, agri, etc) and military defense stocks.

You do know that cruelty to small animals is a precursor to psychopathy don’t you?

..and this is the beginning of the implementation of the 'real reason' why the covid lockdowns have continued for so long, i,e, they want rid of this image and for this to go underground, Thai style!

This is Putins attempt to bully the countries NOT on his list.

Typical spoilt schoolboy narcissist tactics.

The omicron variant is on a par with measles for transmissibility, every other man and dog will soon be infected so I don’t know why they put on such a show for one person. Good grief!
