Frenchman loses 6,000 euros to foreign sex worker in Phuket
In Thailand, the term "farang" (ฝรั่ง) is commonly used to refer to foreigners, particularly those of European descent or with light skin. It is derived from the word "Français", meaning French, but over time, it has come to denote Westerners more generally.

Frenchman loses 6,000 euros to foreign sex worker in Phuket
Because withdrawals fees at ATM are high and Visa rate of exchange bad. Before using wise, I always brought cash with me then deposited it to Bangkok Bank account after conversion at SuperRich or X-One. ATM with thai card or App only.

TM 30, or not TM 30, that is the question.
I always stay at the same condo whenever I comeback to Thailand. I thought I could use the same TM30 but I noticed that the owner had filled in the check-out date which is mentioned as optional on the printed TM30. So I guessed a new TM30 was needed now that I am back and I asked my owner not to mention the check-out date which is optional. He tried but told me he was not possible to validate the TM30 without mentioning a check-out date. Is there a bug in their application ? It is supposedly optional but you have to fill it in.

Opening a Thai bank account as a foreigner questions
I never transfer euros. Bankgok Bank rate of exchange is very bad. I convert euros to bahts with Wise which uses the real rate of exchange then transfer from Wise to Bangkok Bank. Small conversion fees. I usually plan an automatic conversion when a given ROE is reached. Wise charges small tranfer fees (44 bahts for transfer equivalent to 4000 euros) Bangkok Bank charges no fees when received from Wise

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
For more than 179 days It starts at 180 days But I think they will count the days including the day of arrival as 1, so I think it should be no more than "western" 178 days

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
What would have happened if you didn't go to the Customs ? If in all cases you cannot get your parcel, maybe better to try and not get there if they don't force you to ?

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
My doctor answered me by email that Permixon was not essential (only more urination) but I preferred to buy it anyway at Chula MD Pharmacy . It cost 490 THB for 30 tablets, around 13.40 euros. 625 THB at Boots. In France it costs 15 € for 60 tablets, which I need for one month, and I don't pay.

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
Thanks But is it safe on Lazada ? Real drugs? You seem to be knowing Permixon

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
Thanks. Equivalence/ generic is a not a problem but buying in a pharmacy is probably safer, even with generic. Many fake/counterfeit drugs online. They have Permixon in Thailand. Boots could get it within 3 days

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
I understand this pharmacy is cheaper than Boots but are the prices cheaper than in any other "real" pharmacy like Chula MD Pharmacy 942 25 Rama IV Rd, Si Phraya, Bang Rak which is much closer to my place ?

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
Thanks for your anwser. I am staying in Silom. The medicine is innocuous. It is Permixon used to to treat symptoms related to benign prostatic enlargement. It would be 2 boxes with 180 pills each for 90 days treatment. What would happen if they cared ? They would just confiscate it of would I get in trouble ? I just felt it was stupid to pay a high price (arround 190 euros at Boots' price for something I had for free). In France I need a prescription from my doctor. Apparently no prescription is needed in Bangkok. It takes 3 days fro them to get it.

Send medicine from Europe toThailand
Hello, When preparing my baggage for my current travel to Thailand, I left homee some medicine which I need. My family is willing to send then to me but I have few questions : 1- Is it legal to receive medicine by mail ? 2- If legal would I be charged with taxes, VAT or else, and if not legal what would happen ? I can order this medicine at a pharmacy in Bangkok (I asked Boots) but for the duration of my stay it is very expensive. In France I got them for free. Thanks
