Every country has its dialects and even in a country like Germany you can encounter situations where people do not understand each others (for example tourists in Bavaria). Also Switzerland has different languages. The main point is to learn at least some basic Thai conversation. I travel often in areas where English is not understood. Even if my Thai is far from perfect I am always able to have basic conversations with locals. Of course in some areas it is more complicated but these cases are rare.

I suggest you check with your mobile provider. They all have English speaking call centers. Or just drop by at one of their shops. I am using postpaid since so many years and cannot remember the requirements by AIS.

Postpaid Sim cards are not only for Thais, I am using one since many years. I know others who do as well.

Yes, but be careful. Some shops sell grey imports without official warranty in Thailand.

She can invest in a long term stock mutual fund and deduct this in the personal income tax calculation. Tax-Saving Funds (RMF/Thai ESG)

Only to be used for short term use. You will damage your eyes in the long term. And most people do have different eye strength for both eyes which no cheap glasses can cover.

It does not really matter how large your cup is. It does not mean that there is more coffee (quantity of beans used) inside. You can see that at Starbucks serving large cups with weak coffee. A cup size is relevant only in regard of the water quantity used in the coffee. 1 Americano by international standard is always 1 double Espresso (usually around 18 gr. of beans) filled up with water.

I personally found the seats on Dreamliners very narrow with unsufficient leg room.

Where did I say that? The point is that a security app like Kaspersky should not be able to see what you do within your banking app. Otherwise the information could in theory be sent to Moscow. The banking app has to prevent access of other apps into the banking app.

Not for Pattaya especially but Thailand overall. I highly recommend to visit a hospital and get the eyes tested by a professional. My experiences with the shops selling glasses have not been very convincing. Let a doctor give you a prescription and order the glasses outside the hospital.

I had a similar case with SCB app last year. In my case it was Kaspersky Security. You have to disable all other apps able to read or interfere in banking apps. You should check out settings, security/permissions.

I got a message from Tiktok that I am now eligible for 3 different monetization programs. I can for example partner with brands and get cash rewards, I think this is to do promotional content like short advertisements. I can also join Tik Tok shop for creators and share products to receive a commission. I can also do promotional videos for artists to receive commissions. And yes, you need lots of subscribers for that.

A good friend has filed in Pattaya and paid around 30,000 Baht in taxes last week.

As pollution levels are very high at the moment I would like to give another update regarding PM 2.5 filtering. I did some really intensive testing during the last few weeks. First of all filter paper taped to the aircons can bring only a slight improvement with air so bad during this time. I suggest to use them only in addition to air purifiers. For those who use taped filter paper onto the fan I can assure you that it simply does not work when pollution is high. Even the air purifiers have to work hard to bring the AQI levels to green. Summary: buy a decent air purifier, if possible several of them in case you have a house or a condo with several rooms.

It certainly is in the news. You just missed it.
