  1. Wise is not a bank. No safety. No office. No real contact person. Use it as transfer only. Dont park money.
  2. Just visited Nai Harn again. Paradise lost. Only Russians and traffic. Forget Phuket. Dead by arrival of the Chinese for sure. You need to find a place with a supermarket and a hospital nearby. Probably Krabi area but not the main beach area. We should investigate together:). Feel the same. Greetings from Bkk
  3. Landhaus near Ari. Nice garden plus cats plus fan plus best bakery:). Best shop at “Natural Garden” coffee shop outside Bkk little bit but worth a visit. I work there too on my latop at Landhaus, Ari. Cu maybe
  4. Stay max 15 days without Visa. 30 days between each entry was my last information.
  5. Issues with Wise like that are based on the fact that WISE is not registered as a bank:). Money wont get lost but you have to be concerned about WISE as a customer in general in terms of getting the right person on the phone:). You cant visit them too???? Money is also not secured with any umbrella funds by WISE. Dont park money just use it as a transfer machine:). WISE is by more and more banks not accepted as a transfer contact. At least they stop transfers and asks questions. Just bear in mind that some people use WISE as a support possibility for not so “legal money”. Use it for money transfers only and check it with 10 USD for a first time transfer if accepted is my recommendation for all readers. Mostly its working!
  6. Own capital only:). But no European Bank shields. You dont know what you are writing:). Just copy and paste google ????. When no o w n capital in case of any issue by WISE —-> no umbrella:). Easy enough? Do you understand the risk? To say it simple: Wise is not a bank. Fact! Therefore your money is not secured as it is with or by a bank (i.e. with 100.000 Euro by government etc.). Conclusion: Dont park much money by WISE for security reasons. Just use it as a transfer machine. Further on: Money Laundering controlling is an issue which will affects Wise in the near future for sure. You will hear it when it is too late. Recomendation: Mark or cross by transfers the reason: “monthly life expenses”. Some Wise users transferred high amounts and then they block the money due to “investigations” in terms of “where is the money coming from”. Whatsoever, any issues with WISE you have an issue of greater dimensions because you cant visit them:). So far all good until a next crisis:). As a transfer company WISE is best. ????????☺️ I
  7. No, definitely not registered as a bank. Therefore no security umbrella like the 100k Euro shiel in Europe:). Fact!
  8. When does Lichtenstein plays against East Timor?
  9. wise is not a bank. therefore the money is not secured with any funds. have fun when you have an issue with them.:) Dont park too much money there. just use it as transfer machine.
  10. Which country is that where you get your “admin” bill by an email?
  11. You wont get a bill by email in your home country. And your home country would not translate a bill in Thai as well.????
  12. all cheaper at home because of luxury tax in Thailand
  13. She should have up to 3 or 4 accounts by different banks:). Also an shared account is an option. Tax in terms of the last will starts by 50M Baht. Point is your residence actually. Be carefully in case of tax requirements in your home country, no matter if the Thai will is based on the Thai law. Dont have Real Estate i.e. in home country.
  14. They dont have the updated vaccine for BA5 in Thailand so far. Think twice and look for the adjusted mrna-booster.
  15. in 40 years no working at all due to survival issues:).
  16. This is a desease which can be treated in a good hospital for sure. I ve seen many with such a skin issue innBkk. Some say it is transmitted from pigeons. Its just money. Invest in your cat and dont wait.
  17. Due to the fact I was shouting in their office I was not allowed to enter their perimeter and my passport was lost. I went to my embassy and they told me some have a system to sell illegal such passports. Does not mean they do but come on. What kind of people work there? Some girls on front desk are friendly but behind the desk you see sometimes unfriendly older woman (owner and a middle aged man). They sit in another room. Further on they ask for a resideny certificate 2000 Baht. Not realy cheap anymore… 90 day report round about 400. Do it online. Yearly visa update over 8000. Its very easy to extend your visa yourself and use the saved money for a good steak:). Meanwhile I do all by myself. By the way: Dont use BuddyBangkok as agent also. Same same….
  18. AsiaVisa Tour are one of the worst. Avoid them. They lost my passport!!!!!
  19. Just import yourself from abroad. Many world wide deliveries for “home food” suppliers I get mine over R24 supermarket in Germany:).
  20. Just set an exchange rate as a limit for the exchange under WISE, i.e. 38.10 then when reached automatic transfer follows:). Dependening on the time frame you have you can adjust the limit conservative (lower) to speculative (higher rate). Easy with transfer Wise and placed limits:)
  21. Filter, sensor, petrolpump.
  22. Wise is not a bank. No money security like the 100,000 Euro insurance etc. Nothing! Dont keep money on a Wise account! In addition: No customer support over telephone really working. If you have an issue you have a big one with them, even by mostly perfect transfers.
  23. Drainage only for rain level higher than 5 cm. Otherwise too much water in drainage? Water below 5 cm is draining in other areas. Capacity issue of the chanel below I guess.
