Lorry

Addressed to individual taxpayers. Me too, a friend too, and another member mentioned this letter a couple of weeks ago in one of the tax threads

Interpol does not review cases brought to them. That's why a government can easily get a red notice for a dissident who fled the country: they just accuse him of terrorism

I have had BBL staff copy picture page and also visa page, at a routine visit, as a long- standing customer. Very obvious, because a very small branch and you can see them making the copies. I remember very well because it pissed me off. And I had, not long ago, read on TV that they do this. So I was like " oh, they really do this" I think they even made me sign both copies, but I could be mistaken. Whether they always had done this before, I don't know, I never paid attention.

Happened to me in 2021 at CW There was a thread about this at the time, I was not the only one Later others sometimes reported the same

It sounds like you compare your country's public system to Thailand's private system. In Thailand's public hospitals, you can wait months for a specialist. I don't find Thailand's health system very good (even the private system). It is very good considering that Thailand is not a rich country. The Economist compares it with surrounding countries. But they also compare it with rich countries. A main metric the Economist stresses is the high life expectancy of Thais, longer than Americans and Europeans (they don't say whether their statistics of Europe include countries like Russia and Ukraine, probably yes). But Thais are by far not (yet) as fat, immobile and lonely as Westerners. They have a combination of a (still) reasonable lifestyle and a (already) reasonable health care system

A minority, maybe 30% or 40%

But you know that foreigners have been deported because they wrote things on the internet that were considered unflattering for Thailand? And of course it would be libel to name the school

If they got only 3 shots, that means no XBB shot That's the one they need now

People in Taiwan now wear even less masks than in Thailand. Old people usually do wear masks, but their young relatives don't. Since May, masks are not compulsory anymore in healthcare facilities. They do sell N95s in convenience stores, though. The disinfectant craze of the last years has completely disappeared, it's hard to find a dispenser, and then it's empty or out of use. That's a problem, because the lack of value Chinese culture puts on cleanliness is what brought us covid in the first place. And, as mentioned, the constant barrage of the anti-vaxxers and covid deniers has finally had some effects in Taiwan, too.

You can insert first Bangkok into the search box, click to get results, then insert Phuket into the search box to get a detailed comparison between Bangkok and Phuket Phuket is not on the list, but it's searchable.

Doesn't have to be a poor family. Even if she is from a middle class family, the wealth gap is usually so big that "going Dutch" would be very rude. Some guys do live from their Thai girlfriends, but most follow the rule "each according to his abilities". Which is good, but expensive.

We all know that your wife is a rich, highly educated Chinese Thai from a wealthy family. So are the wives of many AN posters. I hereby explicitly exclude them from my post.

Correct. Reasonable if they want to sell to farang. I would expect this. Surprisingly, I have never noticed a building in Thailand without a 4th floor, but many without a 13th floor. Protect the falang, but let the Chinese die? 9 is a lucky number for Thais. (8 for Thai Chinese and Chinese generally)

I have heard of this practice (only return once) at another store, not JIB. Is this common practice in Thailand?

The biggest cost of living in Bangkok: 1. You have to pay for your girl(s), either because she is a whore or because she is just so much poorer than you. Not mentioned in the site 2. Health. Not mentioned in the site. 3. Education. Mentioned in the site. But it is a very interesting site.

Tell us whether they agree with Everyman.

She can do it at every cash deposit machine, using OP's card and PIN or her own card and PIN Yes, you can. It's the land of the free, here.

In Thai the order says นำเงินเข้ามา Ask some Thais what this might possibly mean - in conversational Thai and in legalese. To make it not sound out of context, ask them what is นำเงินเข้ามาประเทศไทย Then you have the whole sentence.

Yes, but you have to give her the PIN of your ATM, too. So she would be able to empty your account. But you don't have to give her your card. Give her only the cash, she can use her own card to deposit the money at any bank account, not only hers. She can also do it with her ID card. No, the bank will not allow her to use someone else' s card. She can go there with her ID card

In the meantime, I inquired in my home country and in one more country. Both don't have what you describe, there "virtual debit cards" are completely different things. What is called a "virtual debit card" differs from country to country.

Increased foreign condo ownership could make housing less affordable for Thais Translation: "... could make condos more expensive" - that's the whole idea, isn't it? After all, Srettha's background is real estate.

Today, 10 am, about 30 passegers at the reentry- area at Suvarnabhumi. Some of them seemed to come in small groups, like a family of 3. 1 IO working. It certainly didn't look like he was handling 1 client per minute, much slower. Re-entry queue seemed to move slower than the line of people getting their exit stamps

Mr Luca said taxable remittance means "having a bank account in Thailand and repatriating funds into your own bank account in Thailand". He is very clear and sure about this. Order 161/66 says "bringing money into Thailand" (นำเงินเข้ามา) I watched the Swiss embassy video again and couldn't find where the lawyer from the TRD said ATM withdrawals would be considered remittances. Did he actually say that? Am I hallucinating?

Yes
