  1. Also many living/working away from where they're registered as living and can't get the time off to travel back home to spend it.
  2. From Wise' website: For Kasikorn Bank, ‘Trade Finance Deposit' marking is equivalent to ‘International Funds Transfer’.
  3. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbicxnGqNk
  4. Lots of ideas in the previous threads: https://aseannow.com/topic/1327550-legal-strategies-to-reduce-thai-tax/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1317007-legal-tax-minimization-for-foreigners/
  5. Recent thread on the same subject. Pick the good information out from the nonsense. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331630-using-sim-card-internet-at-home-instead-of-normal-internet-package/
  6. I'm not. I was answering the question I quoted and showing when a wire transfer is better than an ACH transfer. In your case it appears your money is already with Wise so not applicable.
  7. There's still one before Door 1 on departures level.
  8. No idea - I bought it at home (UK) and brought it here. Just found another item I ordered and it's the same make but a lower spec so might be of interest to the OP if he can find suitable availability. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/23054525283
  9. A poster suggested you learn about the quote function on Monday morning so no, not taking the piss and yes, really necessary. Thanks for making the effort.
  10. Congratulations on finding the Quote button.
  11. https://aseannow.com/topic/1303849-concrete-floor-paint
  12. I wore only one for years as advised by my provider in the UK.
  13. Reported as being open at 8:30pm last night but closed again by shortly after midnight, which ties in with the midnight closing mentioned a couple of posts up.
  14. Closed altogether? I'd seen reports of it being closed about 12:30am but thought it was maybe closing earlier than before.
  15. I can't speak for the OP but I use SIM routers for a couple of reasons: 1) It's widely report that using your phone as a hotspot should only be done short term and not as a permanent setup as it's detrimental to the phone's life. 2) If I go out with my phone in my pocket then any other internet connected things at home lose connection. For me these are security cameras, heating and any other users, and there are numerous other devices around the home available now which require connectivity. OP. This was my latest one. https://www.strong-eu.com/app/uploads/4_GROUTER_1200_UK_LL_LR_EN_20-06-22.pdf
  16. Bumping this post as the OP seems to have missed it.
  17. Your replying to a 16 year old post. How helpful.
  18. The router specs could vary considerably giving different outcomes. When I was looking into it last year I went for the cheapest Chinese knock-off router and it worked, but having installed a couple more since then I know there's much more to it, and I still haven't really scratched the surface. Hopefully someone will be along soon with details, but maybe read up on what channels your preferred mobile company uses, what channels each router supports and what you need for carrier aggregation. Check also for signal coverage in your area, especially if you're out in the sticks somewhere.
  19. Nobody knows yet what rules wiil be applied, or if you apply your preferred rules whether these will be accepted by the Thai tax authorities should it come to an audit.
  20. Depends on the value of the transaction and how it's funded. The calculator on the Wise homepage currently shows estimates of seconds to Tuesday 9th July depending on these, and the Wise guide to Canadian Dollars says:
  21. It was brought up a few days ago but not much/any discussion on it. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331051-data-breach-warning-email-from-wise/
  22. This reason (long stay) was introduced a few years ago to replace "tagging" accounts to force the routing via BBL and ensure the International Transfer annotation to deposits. Choosing this means the deposit will land in your account just after 2:00pm the next day (same day if you're up early enough). "Tagging" was introduced after a change in Wise' procedures meant a lot of people relying on the International marking were left without it for a while causing issues with Immigration for many. The reason about purchasing property also goes this different route as condo purchases may have to show the funds coming from overseas.
  23. It's not standard for BBL to sit on inbound funds so if they are in your situation try to change things about until they don't. Different reasons for remittance, higher value of transaction, funding method and source of funds can all affect the process so there's no "right" answer but only "right for you". You just have to find it and it could easily be Wise.
  24. Definitely not the only one going by posts on here and elsewhere. Most reports I've read seem to be transferring from North America. Are you in that boat?
