He will be remembered as the guy who bought Twitter, threw away a fortune on that bad deal, tried desperately to cancel that purchase, terminated staff, didn't pay their salary, didn't pay rent in many location. Twitter's future is highly unsure, isn't it?

Will i be refused entry.
Shop mak replied to heybuz's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I lived here 2,5 decades as expat. Taking advantage of every loophole, is the norm for many of us. How can young people in their 30's stay here year after year? Using loopholes, using rent a ticket, using agents. Since my 30's never had a problem, same all my expat friends. You use western logic and honesty, 'how to do'. Doesn't apply in Asia region. Understand asian countries system, and go with the flow. You maybe belong to 'I always follow the rules, never use agent, never rent a ticket'. Majority don't, that's why rent a ticket companies still are in business. When you been here 10+ years, you soon forget all this, you understand 'how things are done in this part of the world. And, you life become much easier. Instead of right and wrong, think like a asian: how it should be done, AND alternative ways that also works. This apply to most things, living in Asia. Rent a ticket, Works. -
TAT aims to make the whole year high season for travel in Thailand
Shop mak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
For this to work, TAT must work with AOT and the government, to reduce the high landing fees and slot fees, so that airlines can reduce ticket price, pre-covid prices. -
Immigration Address Checks.
Shop mak replied to Mason45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your visa based on 400k or 800k ? From many reports here, those on 400k marriage extension many report home visit. Seems to increase. Those on 800k pension extension, I've not read any report, so far. Located in Pattaya myself (800k), never had a home visit. -

Scare mongering, thousands use rent a ticket daily, without problem. Comes with reservation code. Alternative buy a real ticket online from a low cost carrier to Malaysia, a refundable ticket that one cancel after exit IO. No problem. -
Thaksin’s Daughter, Real Estate Tycoon ‘Unacceptable’ To Most Senators
Shop mak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Never underestimate grassroot working class, farmers and factory workers around the country. Their still want Thaksin back, so his daughter will do for now. Corruption, vote buying, this coming election can go in any direction. -
'10,000 beds prepared' from other news sources, while department of decease say we are on a downward trend. Why would they now made 10,000 bed ready, if the new influx of chinese, estimated to 100,000 per month, was not a threat????? News around the world reporting huge numbers of C-19 in China. Most others expect a spike in new covid cases in Thailand, next months. Thailand downplay and deny it.

Pattaya Tourist Police Vow to Deter Crime Against Chinese Visitors
Shop mak replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
'Police I lert U' or whatever, allow bib to track your location. "Hey guys, look, this farang buy ganja at that store in soi Buakhao" (Legal today, U-turn tomorrow, not legal anymore, and bib know previous buyers) "This farang is in soi 6" And so on .... Goodbye Privacy. I don't visit any of the examples, but I value my privacy. -

My thai number don't connect, can't receive anything in neighboring countries (airport excluded) without roaming activated. Only on arrival in airport area abroad, do I get a sms from ais if I want to sign up for roaming (postpaid). As soon I leave airport building, no signal, can't receive anything. Roaming must be activated to receive sms. I made a quick search for roaming fees in ais app, 1 is voice and sms. 2 is data. Op can call his callcenter.

Ask your bank if they have a 'dongle' that give a new OTP every minute. That what I use from a bank in my country of origin. Thai banks maybe don't have that. Roaming fee for 1 year will be very expensive. See example UK 890 - 3,490 baht. 15-20 days. Another problem OTP only valid for 5 minute. SMS can take much longer time overseas. Hope you can find other better options in app, (just did a quick search) From ais app:

Many agents offer free tm-30 registration when one move in. If you rent via agent, ask them. If owner don't know about this (???? wth) I agree, find another condo unit.
