  1. It can translate what it is given according to the programming provided, which of course will include limitations and biases and assumptions of the programmers. "What's that in the road ahead?" "What's that in the road, a head?"
  2. Sooooo soory. Cannot. Missing fossie.
  3. Excellent. Use third rate software to auto-translate obsolete fairy tales. Hub of futility.
  4. Just for funsies, assume on 65K baht method, sending $2000/month. ACH domestic wire from bank to wise is free, send $2000 Wise charges $13.75 and converts to baht at 35.37 (Aug 15 4:30pm) No Thai bank fees. You get....................70,250 SWIFT from your bank to Thai bank $25, fee deducted from total, send $1975 Thai bank converts at 35.20 (Aug 15 4:15pm Bangkok Bank) for 69,520 Bangkok Bank incoming wire fee of 0.25% is 175 baht. You get....................69,345 So........income method guy pays an extra 10,850 baht per year.
  5. The transfer fees might not be that much different, but consider the exchange rates. Wise offers close to the live forex rate. Conversion of your funds at an incoming bank much more costly, and adds up quickly with 0.15-0.25 baht/dollar rate difference. Current GBP-THB rate at bangkok bank Aug 15 44.32250 45.23500 1000 GBP = ? 44,322.50 minus your SWIFT fee, and then 200 baht fee from the receiving bank. [ Bangkok Bank incoming wire 0.25% of the transfer value (minimum 200 baht, maximum 500 baht per transaction)] Current rate from Wise 44.7854 1000 GBP minus fees 44,499.67 (slightly higher if sending from own balance) Current XE.com live rate 44.798707 1000 GBP = 44,798.53
  6. the xe.com number i quoted was the mid-market rate, not the conversion rate if sending by xe.com. wise quote seems to match the live quotes. for information only, to compare to the actual wise conversion rate. i checked bangkok bank, but they haven't updated the forex rates on their website since friday.
  7. currently xe.com dollar-baht exchange is 35.324468 wise guarantees an exchange rate of 35.3200
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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.

  12. 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."
  13. 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.)
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. One is born here and is of superior stock. The other is a dirty foreigner, always and forever, regardless of passport.
  17. Naturalized Thai. DLT won't permit it.
  18. Sometimes they get it wrong. Thai immigration sometimes incorrectly refers to an extension of stay for purpose of retirement as a "retirement visa."
  19. What do you mean by red "check"? One of these ✔️ or one of these ❌? In Americanglish, ✔️ is a checkmark or tickmark, ❌ is an x. Once submitted, your status should be pending, and have one of these ❌, meaning click the red "check" if you want to cancel.
  20. Define "broken" and you may get better responses. Doesn't turn on at all? Runs but doesn't blow cold air? Leaks? Did you contact your landlord at any point over the past 3.5 years about the broken AC?
  21. Press the power button and the default screen should come up showing all your apps. Pull down the dropdown menu, there may be a secondary notification at the bottom of that. Or...........you could try file transfer by bluetooth.
  22. See if there are any hidden or secondary messages on the dropdown menu hiding on your smartyphone screen. When I connect mine using the USB cable, it defaults to charge mode. The hidden message lets me switch to use cable for data transfer, and can then access files on the phone like any disc drive.
  23. When do we get the rest of the story? How much damage did the ladyboy do to your apartment?
