  1. Banking here is very scary here, I don't care that some of you have "great confidence in Thai banks." My wife finally sold her condo yesterday and after all the paperwork at the land office she was issued a cashiers check from a big bank. When she went to deposit it (at the same bank) she was told too bad the system won't allow it. After spending 2 hours at the branch and contacting the person who issued a check, she was finally "allowed" to deposit it. Imagine this happening to a rose colored glasses Farang. He wouldn't even know where to start.
  2. From developer, right? They usually have a list of brokers they deal with. I suggest you visit another branch. Wife should know a friend of a friend who works for a bank. Wife is selling a condo and it sounds exactly like what buyers are going through. The property being new, you should be getting a much better "deal". Most will even do 100% LTV. On that note, are you sure there is no some "special promotion" where they offer like 2 years mortgage "free" or some other similar "free" perk. These are usually not free, but actually added to your loan.
  3. My wife who has been in industrial manufacturing for 20 years and deals with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda etc.... swears by Yaris. She literally thinks it's the best car for the money. She drives Honda Jazz, but only because she got amazing deal on it. Personally I don't like Hondas. Very uncomfortable for Farang. Maybe Accord would do there days, I don't know....
  4. Don't worry.... computers at immigration are to play solitaire and check facebook
  5. I was gonna ask her out, but now I changed my mind.
  6. Hard pass for me too. I canceled my Thai insurance 2 months ago after they denied the claim on two different occasions. Even if they eventually pay up after I take them to court, the stress of waiting is not worth it. I have saved more than enough for emergencies. My wife has connections with some hospitals which is better than insurance itself.
  7. And when exiting us it's 10k. And knowing USA it will be confiscated if not declared.
  8. Looks like she's enjoying every minute of it. Must be a hoot to hang out with. Call me.
  9. All the savings will be futile when tourists will need a lung transplant after visiting Thailand
  10. So the buyer is paying cash after all? Because otherwise this makes no sense.
  11. Waste of time. The real reselling opportunities are on the Northern border Mae Sai
  12. Excellent. This is where I would come for medical advice also. Good job. That being said it may likely be reflux since you get it while lying down.
  13. Last Wednesday I took grab to immigration. On the way back I was bored and didn't know what to do with the rest of my day, so I walked to the bus stop, opened google maps and saw that bus number 166 goes to Victory Monument. It is an old blue Aircon bus. The ride was 22 baht and it was very quick as most of the trip is on the motorway. Pleasantly surprised. Just make sure you go the right way. It is the bus opposite of tesco lotus and big c, not next to it.
  14. Do these air filters really help that much? I know when I turn on my xiaomi it all looks nice and dandy and the digital indicator shows healthy air, but when I wake up in the morning I still feel stuffy and generally bad. Also, I remember clearly during covid there seems to be almost no air pollution at all, at least here in Bangkok. Can this really be blamed on fires or something else? Did they stop burning during covid?
  15. I was googling Air Quality in Ukraine. Looks so good.
  16. Chinese car. HARD PASS
