My pleasure. If you need any advice on making a small fortune as the town's premier provider of natural, home-made ice cream in northern Brazil, or as the village baker (and hub of the community) in northern Peru, let me know.

Why don't you and your better half, armed with passport and ID card, visit the nearest AIS mall lounge and ask if they can do it before the bank demands that you to do it? Better still...

Sorry she didn't work out for you. She was cute but.

We do that, accumulated fresh veggies from several family and friend's small "garden" plots. All home grown and as organic and fresh as we can. Delivered and/or collected at the house for cleaning and sorting in the pre-dawn. Then given to another relative to sell on her market stall. Quite lucrative in the cool season (right now) but forget about it come March when it's heating up and bugs need serious pest control. Very (short) seasonal income. Scaling up would probably mean investing in land, pesticides, etc.. Another source of seasonal or opportunistic income is from foraging. Depending on the season, frogs, waterbugs, ants, land crabs, snails, mushrooms and other short-lived but quite expensive flora and fauna makes its way to the relative's market stall where some city slickers will pay (almost) a king's ransom for some weeds, grubs or furry critters. Keeping an eye open for a natural bee hive full of wild honey is a tidy little earner with some happy to pay upwards of 400 baht for a large Saeng Som sized bottle of the stuff. The other one that keeps us in beer and skittles is the roadside food stand that, as already suggested, specialises in something that's NOT already offered nearby. No need for somtam wars in the moobahn! Minimal dine-in as it caters for locals either going to work in the morning (closed after lunch and rest of the day) or, the evening commuter headed home. The latter is a bit less busy with a greater possibility of a dine-in request. You may also need to offer more than one specialty dish too (open late afternoon and evening only). Thai landlords are as mercenary as the ones back home so if any chosen enterprise avoids paying rents, leases and inflated utility bills, it's going to be more profitable (take longer to die). Good luck

And with all those blue checkmarks, that looks so much like a circle jerk. As granny Loban used to say, "Self praise is nae honour."

You mean 2 week billionaire. Musk's a billionaire.

The evisa is single-entry. A old fashioned single entry visa would be stamped "Used". If there's an electronic version of the "Used" stamp on the immigration database, is the exit with a Re-entry permit even an option? That would be using a single-entry visa like a multi-entry and I'm not sure if that's permitted.

Don't know anything and never been there but wanting advice on what sort of small business would work in Isaan? What has she suggested?

Does anyone have experience or recommendations for setting up and registering a non-resident UK company online? This will be for business activities and services conducted outside the UK. There are many sponsored links on a Google search for UK company formations, so I'm interested in sorting the wheat from the chaff and not necessarily the cheapest and fastest set up. Being able to open a business bank account as part of the formation would be a bonus. Thanks, NL

somehow there's some unwanted and possibly malevolent software on your pc. you should NEVER have clicked OK time to nuke and pave

Or Croydon British? Or Lewisham British?

Och aye, th' noo. Hoots mon,Scooby Doo an' Howe o' the Mearns!

Oh, would you look at that? A mind that's narrower than the Walsingham Light Railway.

At least. Too much of a leap for the average UKIP/Brexit/Reform voter's brain though.

Yes Nigel, right Nigel.

Probably are. Possibly a couple of generations too considering how wonderfully expansive and inclusive the British Empire was. I doubt anyone can pigeonhole another's nationality based on their ethnicity, skin tone or family name any more but, if it floats your boat, carry on.

Bugger all to do with the Buddhist faith. Thou shall not steal is the 8th of the Christian faith's Ten Commandments, 7th if you're a Catholic. So, what would the good Christian do?

All Lancashire lads, born and bred.

Ah yes, twin Strombergs.

If you insist on taking this discussion off-piste, at least avail yourself of some salient facts. Change in Total U.S. Debt by President Below is a table of debt by U.S. presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries.

There was no riot, no attempted insurrection, nada. It was nothing more than a picnic, a marshmallow toast, a clambake or as Hawaiians like to call it, a luau.

I won't be paying as much attention to the 'news' as I felt compelled to do under #45's administration. Don't forget, when America sh*ts the bed, the whole world has to lie in it.

Is the 'wallet' that they asked you to create not the same thing as this 'new account' that they want you to use? Maybe that's a default message sent to all those making AU transactions, despite you already using their preferred method? Mind you, I wouldn't waste time asking forum members to guess on this issue. I would ask Wise.

The ones with pending applications to join the 'deep state', whatever the heck that is?

Do I detect a wee bit of alcohol in all of that?
