  1. Dial phones were the replacement for clicking the headset holder to personal operator service - lost a lot of date options with that invention. VHS was a poor excuse for Betamax but due to numbers became the standard. Believe there are pills for stamina? ????
  2. Consolidated entries should not be an issue if you provide bank statements (as many of us using income have to do now). Best to us another account for normal money usage and just use your name only account for money in account and or deposits and then transfer working funds to another account - books last much longer that way. Edit: As for immigration using QR codes don't have a clue as I do not use myself.
  3. True enough but on the point of phone banking there are very valid concerns as the loss from apps can be much higher than we would normally lose from a lost wallet and banks have been very reluctant to offer much protection. Anything electronic is subject to intercept and manipulation. Not safe at any speed. Yes, the young adapt well to such devices but safety is a totally different ballgame.
  4. There are two very separate paths using Wise to transfer to Bangkok Bank account. You can transfer funds to a Wise account and then use that account to transfer to BBL or you can just transfer directly from a US account to BBL account. But believe accounts have to be set up first - US account believe is by logging on through a 3rd party via Wise and foreign account with a test transfer/report amount. Once set up all accounts will appear as options on Wise screens.
  5. Was not talking major card places - they have no choice - but those that often deal in cash will often charge more for cards. This was most apparent to me with soi travel agents (which suspect many are actually money launderers and could care less about selling tickets).
  6. In Thailand it has often been a reduced price paying cash, and still is for some things - card use would be a higher price.
  7. LINE? What's that? Some of us are zombies without a phone.
  8. Actually ATM robbery has become a rather large issue over the last few years and believe many not located at banks or 24 hour establishments have made the decision to remove. Not only a cost in cash but a cost in machine as they are often destroyed. Of course this has been even more as many smaller branch banks also closed during pandemic. But in turn more people have turned to phone/QR code and such so no longer require the cash machine for either cash or banking transactions. Expect keeping the machines supplied/monitored/protected is an expense banks would prefer to eliminate.
  9. Data harvesting. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/19/tiktok-has-been-accused-of-aggressive-data-harvesting-is-your-information-at-risk
  10. Just to be clear the requirement is 800k for 2 months prior until 3 months after extension. 400k remainder of year. For bank deposit retirement extension.
  11. With the relatively low cost of SSD drives, and the speed/heat/weight advantage for laptop, believe this is best course.
  12. As said the simple and best is physical destruction - remove drives and destroy. Anyone wanting to use laptops would not what them anyhow - they would want an SSD.
  13. Daughter and any surviving spouse if no parent per below. https://www.samuiforsale.com/knowledge/inheritance-laws-thailand.html
  14. As your post does not state any price point not sure how tight your budget is but for me BMAX B3 mini computer makes sense here and have bought myself. Everything in small box with no heat or noise - plug and play on any monitor or TV via HDMI. Hook up mouse/keyboard and good to go. I bought this for 8k and very happy with it. If you need gaming computer would not be that great but for normal usage very fast and takes up no space. Edit - you posted further while I wrote - sorry this a bit above your price point but would consider the BMAX B2 versions under 5k - I almost went with that myself.
  15. Then you do not want to watch ch27 one minute ago for the full video.
  16. I understand that - can't you accept agreement? As for cost that sticker is likely only a fraction of a baht all told so really no motivation to remove (unless you have total monopoly and that fraction of a baht adds up to more than a normal producer gains in brand awareness).
  17. Not supporting stickers and when I packed eggs on family farm some 70 years ago there were none. But the packing does help prevent damage. As for fruits buyer wants to see is selling point - but on open shelf issue becomes buyer drops.
  18. Because they are packed in egg crates and have been for a century.
  19. 200 baht here for 10 sheets of 10 (100 pills). https://bangkokdrugstore.com/product/amlopine-5-mg-10s/
  20. Actually that is how it is done here in Bangkok - prisoners - and for them a very positive job. The drains around homes are normally only a meter or less deep so mostly scoop out and run bamboo through pipes between.
  21. If the normal gray/rain water drain system government septic tank truck workers are not supposed to work on them (although some will off-book) here in Bangkok and suspect other locations. Private septic tank trucks can do or people can be hired with buckets and bamboo poles to clean them out.
  22. Can't speak to card issue but 8-10k would seem a confirmation amount so perhaps that is an issue - know when I used US debit card for more than few thousand baht get a verification code to enter direct from bank prior to its being approved. But have not used AliExpress for years as once they took over Lazada most items because available on that platform without 1-2 month waits for shipment.
  23. As a rule doctors work at hospitals rather than have clinics or medical centers as often is the case in other countries. Clinics (other than beauty type) often have a doctor that dispenses many packets of pills on the cheap - but often with little diagnostic procedure involved. In many cases not much of a step up from a qualified pharmacist.
