I know the police is all over the place in central pattaya but how is it around darkside, is it possible to drive around the bars up there on a motorbike without getting caught by the bibs? I dont get drunk and drive but a few beers might happen.

Bump this thread. How is the stats today for pool leagues around darkside? Stil going on mondays and wednesdays?

I know a Thai guy got fined 500 baht for staying in his girlfriends home.  They reckon the farang price is more likely to be 5000.  As for the curfew midnight is fine by me, just go out earlier - but then you're likely younger than me, most people are.

I prefer to go out when the heat is gone, best time is between 10 pm until the sun goes up. You guyes who lives here could never have been in Thailand. 

But I have to admit that even if I like Leo a lot the beer is better here. 

There is a lot of stunning ladies here though but I would never take that risk. Oboy what that can be expensive..

But you can have sex with Lao ladyboys without the need of marrying them 😉

 

 

Might work for you Jose but not my cop of tea and what I seen so far is if you are into that Thailand is still a million times better.

It's certainly a consideration if you were thinking of spending a lot of time there and are still "active" in that department, the same in Vietnam I think (at it was it was years ago).  The good news is that the ladies don't care and hotels will generally let you stay together, I think it's more of an issue if you would go to her hometown or she yours and stay in her/your home - then you may well receive a knock on the door.

You understand what kind of issues you can get if they want?.. And then this thing with the landwide curfew. Thailand is a million times better then Laos, I am out with the first flight as soon as I get my new visa.

I see where your priorities lie`by your comment.....

And you show what a loner you are. You don't socialize with people and you dont have sex. Dude you are extremely rare... 

Been in Vientiane now for only 2 days and havnt seen anything then the area around the nightmarket where I live. I am surpriced how cheap food and drink is compare to Thailand, and tasty as well. Accommodating though isnt cheap, its about same as Thailand or a bit higher. But I might live in a pricy area now, 100m from nightmarket. People seems nice and Friendly but Thais are a bit faster to give you service. Here you might have to wait a few minutes before they give you the menu, but for me thats a good thing. So far its nice but for me nothing beats Thailand. But I might change, just 2 days here and 12 years in Thailand 😂😂

The really downside to Laos is that its illegal to have sex with Lao ladies unless you marry them first. But there is always the option of import from Udon Thani 😁

what documents did they ask for? workpermit?

no docs, only passport and bank book

I am going to Vietiane to get a new Thai visa and the only time at the embassy was on a friday so I guess I am stuck there over the weekend and wonder what to do.

Is there any things to see in daytime, night life.. ?

Any tip appreciated 🙂

Would you be able to take your Thai wife to the Phillipines and live there together 3 years?   Just wonder if its as easy for a Thai to extend a visa there?

Why would you like to move from Thailand to Phil? After reading this thread I am convinced, not Phil for me.

I'm going to give the Thai government my US TIN which is my US Social Security Number? I think not.

Thailand will be members in OECD and get your info

Good morning,

 

I would like to close my SCB saving bank account and repatriate all (of my income) to Switzerland.

Until last year, the SCB authorized international transfer to Switzerland, whereas today the countries authorized for transfer are limited and Switzerland is no longer one of them!

Is there another bank that will authorize international transfers to Switzerland?

What about Kasikorn or Bangkok bank or is the transfer only allowed for business customers?

Are there any other ways to repatriate this income?

Most transfer sites/services (like wise) do not work with Switzerland and I would like to avoid having to leave the bank with cash.

I need a path that is traceable since this money is also declared in Switzerland.

I am grateful for any suggestions from you.

Sincerely

There is no need to use deemoney, I have Bkk Bank and its now possible to transfer up to 2 milj baht/day directly from your Thai bank app and money arrives the next day so much faster than deemoney.

I did this mon, thu and wed this week and worked perfect.

But first you need to visit your Thai bank and ask them to open up so you are allowed to transfer 2 mil/day, was easy. In my Bkk Bank app there is an service named SWIFT, thats the one to use.

Btw I transfered to Sweden but should be the same as Switzerland.

But dont tell its income from Thailand, they might not like that you transfer that out of the country.

I just sold my house and wrote Personal Expense and SOLD PROPERTY in the app and they never asked me for any proof.
