Porn is illegal in Thailand. Especially making porn.

Do you mean the cash in your brokerage account? They have money market funds available, just buy them. If you want a traditional interest bearing savings account then open one. But the money in your brokerage account is there for trading, not to just sit there.

This reminds of another annoying problem where listings show nearby beaches or bridges or buildings. Anything except the inside of the room.

What’s with the reactions to my post? ffs i hate geriatrics

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime was released in 2016. You shouldn’t expect it to still work. Time to get a new phone.

…yes?

In a year when nothing has happened the hysteria will have grown even bigger. I will take a decade before everyone forgets about it.

You don’t need a calculator. The number is zero.

Well then we will leave, or schedule our time to be outside Thailand most of the year. It’s not rocket surgery. If somehow farangs are made to pay, they will look at which is cheaper - leaving or staying. Most will leave. I certainly have no intention of paying anything. Thailand has changed immensely in the last 20 years and not in a good way. I’m happy to put it behind me. Good timing I guess. But this is a country that can’t stop people driving on sidewalks. The tax thing will go nowhere.

The TIN was his American social security number to comply with US FACTA laws. Nobody else has been asked for a THAI Thai ID. Everyone keeps waiting for these enforcement milestones and then nothing happens. So they say oh, it will begin at the next milestone. And then nothing happens. In five years people will still be banging on about it and nothing will have happened.

Sometimes people in this country are literally insane.

All mobile phones support huge text sizes, and many have huge screens. The text can be several inches across if you want

I cannot understand why anyone wants to use the PC version of the online banking apps when the mobile versions are so superior.

That’s a disaster for people for people with non-government pensions. I am baffled why people like to praise immigration when they constantly change rules to screw people over for no reason except to be cruel.

No, there is an interprovincial withdrawal fee of 10 or 20 baht. It’s small but it adds up.

The account and the branch I went to were both in Bangkok.

Your account will have been officially relocated to another branch. You have to go there and get a new passbook. I think you should call Bangkok Bank and ask them which branch is your new one.

You just tap on cardless withdrawal on the Bangkok Bank mobile app and follow the instructions.

I updated Bangkok Bank with a new passport at a different branch than where I opened the account. Make sure to bring your old passport.

You slide it down because you are supposed to pretend to have read it.

Until they add a section for income except due to DTAs it’s not clear how foreigners could file taxes correctly anyway with regard to this.

What issue? There are so many data breaches, including from credit agencies, that you just have to assume your information is out in the wild and act accordingly by checking your credit score/report and not re-using passwords.

I am not aware of the disappearance of any ATMs in Pattaya, although almost all of the BBL ones were out of service for a long period last month.

Greedflation is inflation + economic conspiracy theory. Also I don’t believe your story. Everyone’s overhead costs have gone up.

It is possible sure but illegal and a bad idea.
