Option 1: Remit money into Thailand, then use it to make payments. Option 2: Use your foreign credit card to make these payments directly (whenever applicable). Considering the planned taxation on remitted amounts, does it make sense to use option 2 as much as possible (e.g. larger payments done to bodies that accept CC)?

Bump... any favorable strains..?

Reading though the topics, I see many pics etc, but it will be great to have a place centerred on first hand reviews of strains purchased. Specifically I am interested in reviews of the varieties sold by the Lampang farm. I bought some low priced strains from them in the past (thai stick, green crack) and want to try something better.

I am looking at KGI and Globlex. Both also provide API access (orders and market data) for both Equity and Derivarives which is something I might want to use apart from longer term investing.

Got it. So bascially you're doing swing trading based on technical analysis, using the derivarives for leverage? Appreciate your answers.

I didnt open an account with a Thai broker yet. From what I have seen, a WP is required. I dont have a WP. Is this a must? Which brokerage firm do you recommend?

Thanks. In general I am looking for stocks I'd love to hold for several years. I focus on value investing. How would you propose to begin? Do we get quarterly reports here? I only noticed yearly reports on the SET site but I am just starting to look. Are investor conceference calls done only in Thai?

Ok I understand you are the man with tonnes of money and can-do attitude but anything useful to contribute other than a prep talk? Which sites do you use to gather info?

No need to fight kids.... if anyone has any suggestions regarding places to start from, except Thai Stock Exchange site, that would be more helpful than whether the market is rigged or not. Nobody here actually invests in the local market?

Mind sharing your preferred sites for relevant info?

Perhaps a dumb question, but is info about Thai stocks mainly available in Thai or are there good sources for info in English as well? Specifically, are earning calls and investor conferences conducted in Thai only?

Good points. I guess what I am aaking is what uaually gets paid in practice regardless of any unwritten rule, convention or definition.

What is the customary commission rate (%) paid to agents on closing a *sale* of a house?

Thanks. Mind telling what business did you engage in? Did you export goods or services?

I have read in the past (both on this forum and elsewhere) that when a company engages in export-only activities (not invoicing anyone in Thailand, not making any sales in Thailand) then this kind of company can be registered with 100% foreign ownership. Note I don't refer to the case of US-Thailand Treaty of Amity which is an unrelated provision. No Americans involved. I also don't refer to any kind of BOI sponsoring. If this still holds then such a company will have 2 (or more) foreign shareholders. Does this type of company still possible to incorporate today and does it matter if the export activities are only for goods or also for services. I will greatly appreciate all informed replies.
