The figures I gave were what lands in your Thai bank so include everything.

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
When I bring money into Thailand I usually use Wise whose MO is to take my funds in my home country and use their own funds in Thailand to square me up. They show on my bank statement as funds received from another (Thai) bank. Who is remitting in this scenario? If as suggested Thai banks may report funds received from overseas as a tool to identify taxable funds to the RD, these will not be reported as remitted by me but by Wise. What could happen here?

You can compare the two on line. As I'm typing this, for £1,000 GBP Wise will give you 45,506 within seconds and XE will give you 45,416 THB. XE app says delivery time is "Typically within 24 hours" but I've not actually used them to know how accurate this is.

Do bots count as staff and are there settings you can adjust to improve the quality? The current regurgitations (eg from Pattaya News) read poorly.

Soi Honey / Soi Diana One way starts 21 May
I hope to be down there tomorrow and if I remember I'll take a pic for you. Maybe you could do the same if you knew where it was.

Soi Honey / Soi Diana One way starts 21 May
I walk/taxi Soi Honey almost every week. It's always a trafffic/pedestrian madhouse when I pass through so don't understand the "dead" comment.

Superrich Struggles as Savvy Tourists Opt for Travel Cards
Agreed, and if possible choose one of each processor, Visa and Mastercard, to have a backup in case one network has issues. I have that from two different UK banks.

I use bank transfer from my UK bank and as long as the amount sent < 50,000 THB it's almost instantaneous too- Superrich Struggles as Savvy Tourists Opt for Travel Cards
Damini in Soi Post Office give a better rate and are open 24 hours but don't have the branch network of TT. When withdrawing at ATMs the exchange rate is set by the payment processor, usually Visa or Mastercard, unless you choose otherwise. With no bank fees this is one of the most efficient ways to get cash abroad. It was similar in Thailand before the ATM fee came along.- Vandals Strike Iconic Pattaya City Sign at Laem Bali Hai
OP-bot has just re-written this article and juggled a few words about to make it sound original. All 5 paragraphs contain the same information and written in the same order. Verdict: Must try harder. https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/13/vandalism-defaces-iconic-pattaya-city-sign/- What Options For Extending My Stay After Multiple Short-Term Extensions?

If converting from GBP then you're correct up until about £1,200. After that Wise beat Revolut on cost.- Thailand Plans AI-Driven Revamp for Airport Operations Inspired by Beijing Model
Must be the entry gates then, not the exit ones which are much more recent?- Had a small accident
Stop being obtuse and ignoring the context of my reply. How can anyone read the OP and not make an intrepretation of what is said?- Had a small accident
Not how I read it. My version: Moto taxi stops to allow passenger to alight. While getting off passenger drops a bag into the road which unseats a passing motorcyclist who can't avoid it. A small accident is farting and following through. Causing a motorcyclist to crash by dropping something on the road in front of him is much more significant and the OP will (rightly) be owing some damages.- 800k Wise Transfer for Non 0 Visa
Does the article have a date on it? That appears a significant change if this article is correct. On further reading it's mandatory to issue a FET if the value is over $50,000 USD. Maybe lower value ones are a grey area or down to the bank local practices?- Thailand Plans AI-Driven Revamp for Airport Operations Inspired by Beijing Model
Wow. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit is on the ball. No looking back now. And replacement of the automatic passport-checkers? I hope not the exit route ones as they've only recently been installed. Or is the whole story just another slew of words with no basis in what's actually going to happen?- Fire in villa complex, Na Jomtien
Why? It's a villa resort complex which offers extra beds if required and a 24 hour reception.- Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.
That's certainly a good data point for others using Nonthaburi.- Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

It's >13% who have moved or not found a resolution to a big problem. That's around 1 in 8, so at least one on every floor of most condos, maybe even 2 or 3 depending on the size of the place. If there really was that many on each and every floor that would be a huge problem IMO.- 800k Wise Transfer for Non 0 Visa

If it's a dual jet bridge the upper deck economy section will get off using the upper level door, so behind a maximum of 56 First and Business Class passengers. It is supposed to be a better economy experience upstairs. - Wise fees are going up again.
