  1. Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has taken a shot at MicroStrategy chief executive officer Michael Saylor, calling him a “total clown” after the latter called the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency “inherently unethical.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vitalik-buterin-calls-microstrategy-michael-045100945.html
  2. You can't create a new card, even if you are an existing customer. Mine expired, as they do every 2 years, and the only option is to get a hard copy with involves a yearly fee The "available soon" remark is there since June 2021

  4. I consider closing the bank account that I used for my retirement extension, and not sure what I'm gonna do with the funds yet. The account has never been below 800K. At the same time I have other accounts that hold at least 800K baht, and that since before I applied for my retirement extension. Can I just close the account and use the other ones on my next renewal?

  6. Actually we shouldn't care about, because technically it is only 3000 baht total you can get refunded each year, which is peanuts of course, but then again they also pay peanuts for interest. Tomorrow my Krungsri account will be history for sure, and I plan to close a few other accounts as well, and just leave 800K in one account. The interest we receive isn't worth the risk imo, as I think there are quite a few banks in bad papers, and everything over 1 million is not guaranteed. Even the 1 million I want to see when it gets refunded to a foreigner, if the unexpected happens.
  7. Withdrawing physical USD notes has a 0.5% fee with Kasikorn. Euros is 1% fee. I don't know if there is a fee for physical deposit, or if it even is possible
  8. Indeed same as with every Lazada receipt, there is never any import duty or VAT on the receipt. This is the seller, look him up, he's from China https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/meet-sunday?path=profile.htm&pageTypeId=3
  9. Don't know, just checked in the app 30 minutes ago
  10. No idea how they do it, but this was an overseas order.
  11. Reading your post encouraged me to check my Krungsri account. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I had no tax deducted for the first 5 months, but tax was deducted for the month of June. I complained to my branch, and of course they had no idea why, and had all possible excuses, so I threatened closing my account. So I decided to wait until this month to see if they corrected it. This month tax was deducted for the previous 5 months and the month of July. The tax deduction was the exact same amount as the interest for this month.
  12. 1 member who calls everyone who doesn't agree with him negative.
  13. That is what you see. What I see is that is down by almost 50% in a few months
  14. The only way is to send it in Pounds. Thai baht can not be send out of Thailand. Whatever service you will use, they will always exchange your baht to pound before they send it
  15. I have a USD account with Kasikorn for 7 years already, there was no other fee than the usual transfer fee when I transferred USD from Europe to the account. When I withdrew half of it into Thai baht 2 weeks ago, there was again no fee, and I received telex transfer exchange rate +0.02 I just checked in my account book. I sent XXX,477.77 USD and received XXX,457.77 USD in my Kasikorn account. The 20 USD was taken by the intermediary bank.
  16. Charts tell you the past, for the future they are as reliable as a crystal ball
  17. Hi there, my name is Elon Musk ................................
  18. There are no deposit fees for USD accounts, other than the usual fees when sending money to a baht deposit account. USD account pays no interest I'm not sure, but I think the USD have to come from abroad. There are also no fees if you withdraw the USD in Thai baht.
  19. I looked at that website as I'm interested as well, but looks very confusing, and little explanation. What is full time and what is part time? What is meant with 1 month or 6 month guarantee? 4500 baht per month for a full time maid sounds dirt cheap to me
  20. Please show me where you see any options to click in the listing.
  21. Do you actually read what you write?
  22. I agree with the OP. I think only Shopee still use them, and I have told them many times that they should publish the name of the logistics before you place the order, since I will reject every shipment sent by J&T. They gave me the middle finger, so now as soon as I see J&T is the transporter, I cancel the order, and if can not be cancelled, I place the order elsewhere and reject delivery. Maybe one day they will learn
  23. That story has been going for many years, and not sure if it even is true
  24. Can you elaborate on how I would do that please? Note, I don't have the server any more. Like I said, the complete index is on all drives, but many of the folders are empty Each drive has different folders that are empty.
