  2. Any Thai having a foreign spouse may purchase or accept land as a gift with no consideration and register the ownership of such land during marriage under the condition that the spouse must jointly provide a written legal confirmation stating that the entire source of funds for such purchase or gift is solely from the Personal Property (such as defined by Thai laws) of such Thai. Without written confirmation from a foreign spouse, the request for such registration must be referred to the Land Department in order to obtain an approval from the Minister. Any foreigner's minor having Thai nationality may purchase or accept land as a gift with no consideration and register the ownership of such land if it does not appear after investigation that he/she has done so to avoid the law

  8. It is illegal to sell. All testosterone drugs you can buy in Thailand are fake. Exept made in Thailand Cypionax. But fake doesn't mean useless, they work as real brand name drugs. BTW Rotexmedica doesn't exist after rebranding in 2019

  13. "Don't use a debit card Want to avoid identity theft? Never, ever use a debit card. I don't own one. I never have and I never will. I don't recommend them to anyone — not my family, not my friends, not you. As I said at the Google talk, a debit card is certainly and truly the worst financial tool ever given to the American consumer. Why? It's simple: Every time you use one, you put your money and your bank account at risk. Instead, use a credit card. I use one for practically all of my purchases, even when I'm traveling abroad. With credit cards, federal law limits my liability if there's an unauthorized use of my card." Frank Abagnale is a former professional impostor and the author of the best-selling memoir, "Catch Me If You Can." He is one of the world's most respected authorities on the subjects of fraud, forgery and cyber security.

  15. When you buy stock in BABA, you technically don't own shares in Alibaba Group itself, but in an offshore shell company that has a claim to its profits. If you buy BABA on the New York Stock Exchange, you are buying ADRs that in turn have a claim on the Alibaba VIE. If you buy Alibaba as '9988' on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, you own a stake in the VIE directly. BABA shares are convertible to 8 shares of 9988. Either share represents ownership in a VIE, not the company itself. That presents some challenges. VIEs are not technically ownership claims on companies but contractual agreements to part of their profits. This means that BABA shareholders have no vote, and no direct ownership in the company's assets. Some have speculated that the CCP could ban VIEs, leaving Western shareholders holding the bags. On the whole, Alibaba's VIE structure is a real risk.
