  1. It's not just the transfer fee. The difference is negligible. Compare the euro-baht conversion rate. Odds are you'll save thousands having wise convert, rather than western union or the receiving bank. The wise website will tell you exactly how much you'll receive to compare to the western union or bank websites.
  2. He's looking at this wrong. Thanks to the wonderful medical procedure, he now has one leg LONGER than the other. Shirley, that must be a great advantage as a kickboxer!
  3. It seems the ceeceepee will be punishing the man. ⛷️
  4. The original article didn't say he was Chinese, just "believed to be of Asian descent." With the poor audio, I really couldn't make out anything, just that it sounded vaguely Chinese-y. Cantonese is my default fallback for when I don't have a clue what the person is saying. But physically, if Chinese, he looks more northern-ish.
  5. Not really. I lived in China for a decade, speak more of a southern dialect of Mandaran. This fellow is from Shaanxi, where the local version of Mandarin is, how you say, unique. I watched the video yesterday. The audio was rather poor, and I couldn't make out much of what the man said. I was guessing it was some version of Cantonese.
  6. Why? He didn't break any Chinese laws. Nothing expected from the Chinese authorities, unless Thailand contacts them, but highly unlikely. If Thailand wanted to prosecute, he'd been in jail now. Any action by China would be embarassing....for China.
  7. Less than not much? I don't expect a boycott would have much effect. The people that Maylaysia doesn't want to visit threaten not to visit? “Oh, Br’er Fox, I don’t care what you do with me, so long as you just don’t throw me in that briar patch over there. Go on and barbecue me up, Br’er Fox, but please don’t throw me in that briar patch.”
  8. I get it. How much of the Malaysian tourism industry?
  9. Your topics appear on the general interest list on the right, so everybody sees them. Wouldn't know which sub-forum a thread appears in unless reading thru the entire fine print directory list after clicking. You might contact site administration to have your sub-forum removed from the topics list and keep your echo chamber safe and effective.
  10. I saw no mention of Malaysia in your link. But if you think catering to ~3% is an effective strategy, well.....hold my bud light.
  11. Oh, no! A tiny few of a tiny minority won't play tourist in Malaysia? The Malaysian economy is doomed. Doomed!

  13. How else do you not see an 18-wheeler directly in front of you?
  14. You can download the immigration sec. 38 app for your phone to register your rental property in the database. Once confirmed you can then do a TM-30 for the occupant on the app.

  16. Any advice on how to simply and easily legalize a will? I had read on this forum in the past to simply take them to an Amphur to be stamped/registered. My wife and I wrote up our wills, tried to register them at our local Amphur, also tried at the main Amphur in Korat, but were told "foreigner, no can."
  17. No need. They'll out themselves when they dump a newborn in a petrol station rubbish bin.
  18. This is in a southern province with a large muslim demographic. Possible she was dressed in abaya and was able to conceal it.
  19. Have Thai banks reduced their rates? This was several years ago, and at that time my wife was paying 28% on her cards. (Just before we closed all her accounts.)
  20. I don't believe the article stated the girl's age. 12 or 13 is the assumption based on the average age of grade 7 students. I'm not familiar with Thai schools. Do students ever begin a year or two late, and is it possible to fail grades or be held back? If so, age could perhaps be 14 or 15.
  21. Yes, you can get a secured credit card from a Thai bank. Kasikorn offered me a credit card with a 50K baht limit, if I paid in a 100K security deposit. As it was explained to me, the security deposit does not earn interest, nor is it used to pay the accrued balance. The charges are separate and incur a 28% interest fee. What's not to like?
  22. Really, TAT? Why is it always a "cunning plan"? Now you're going out of your way to specifically target TikkyTokkers and Youtubers, knowing they'll come to livestream the experience for clicks, knowing they'll be creating the most insane and dangerous and annoying performance art for their followers to like and share? This will end well..... Thailand - Hub of Ininsured Gofundme Beggers
  23. Headline is not correct. The man obeyed the signs to the letter.
