  1. Google Reviews: https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Phahon+Theater/@13.7925262,100.5461119,17z/data=!4m8!3m7!1s0x30e29c1712c79a17:0x338609ba24892d4d!8m2!3d13.7925262!4d100.5486868!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F11b69fqdkw?entry=ttu
  2. It was so that the authorities could more easily limit the number of people visiting a park in a day to prevent overcrowding and/or harm to the environment.
  3. There are Google reviews as recent as two weeks ago.
  4. Banks don't provide access to stock exchanges - brokers do. I'd suggest Phillips POEMS - used to dealing with foreigners. https://www.poems.in.th/ Even though banks often own brokerages it's (usually? never?) not possible to open brokerage accounts through your local bank branch. You'd need to deal directly with the brokerage. An exception is for UHNW individuals. For example, if you've got 50 million baht in your bank accounts, Krung Sri will provide access to foreign stock exchanges.
  5. Try checking the details. Term deposits for irregular periods (7, 10 and 14 months) are not available for foreign nationals, but regular term deposits are readily available. And if you're a high net worth individual the irregular term deposits become available too.
  6. Without the "piece of paper" one doesn't gets rights. For example, if one's partner is dying one has no right to be consulted on medical treatment, and has no rights relating to disposal of the body. Then there are other matters such as inheritance of one's partner's pension or adoption. It may just be a "piece of paper", but it brings significant rights.
  7. You definitely can transfer from Wise to IBKR, and vice versa. In my experience, Wise to IBKR is very quick, but IBKR to Wise takes a few days. That's for GBP. Other currencies may be different.
  8. Probably not. Ethics and duties are only for the little people, and they are not supposed to be corrupt. The kids of the wealthy in their expensive private schools won't be taught this fascist nonsense.
  9. Is it OK to be gay in Iran? According to ChatGPT: I take that as a "no", then.
  10. He didn't write one. His Ph.D. thesis was titled "Polypeptides and proteins: X-ray studies".
  11. To get your account details, start by adding cash (GBP) to your account and select the option "transfer money from your bank account" then "Pay on desktop" "Make a manual payment instead". (You don't need to complete adding cash if you don't want to.)
  12. Which is why it's good practice to reduce the amount of food fed after neutering. Anyway, better late than never. You can cut back the amount you feed her gradually over a couple of weeks. Probably best to stick with dry commercial food for now so you can know exactly how much you're giving her. (With my dogs I weigh the food to the gram.)
  13. The family are circling in the hope of a payout. Is the daughter old and mature enough to fend them off?
  14. So, it hasn't put lead in your pencil. Sorry to hear that. Try sildenafil instead.
  15. Typical. These Malayan tigers coming here, taking our Thai tigers' jobs. I hope Immigration gets onto this quickly and deports it.
  16. In 2022 Thailand imported 104,162 kg of turmeric from India. However, this is dwarfed by the 2,189,220 kg from Burma. https://wits.worldbank.org/trade/comtrade/en/country/All/year/2022/tradeflow/Exports/partner/THA/product/091030
  17. Is it possible to transfer existing holdings in mutual funds from one Thai broker to another? I'm seeking to change broker, but don't want to have the transactional expenses of sale and repurchase. Thank you.
  18. Oxford hasn't issued BSc degrees for a very long time. When they were issued they were equivalent to a Masters degree. Students who study science at Oxford as undergraduates receive a BA.
  19. I very much doubt Pheu Thai will get voted in next time, given their track record of betraying the electorate. The latest betrayal is deferring paying the 10,000 vote buying bribe until September next year (at the earliest), and not paying it to all Thai adults as promised.
  20. I really do have to respond to this again. This comment is pure trolling so please stop it or back up your comment. Try searching Google for "Hamas tied a pregnant woman to a chair, cut out the baby, stabbed it to death, cut off the woman's breasts and left her to die" - not a single match from a reputable news source. (The Daily Mail, which appears as results #2 is not a reputable news source, but a sleazy UK tabloid filled with clickbait.) Of course, if you have a link to some reputable news sources including all the details alleged, I'll retract. As Aeschylus said two and a half millennia ago “In war, truth is the first casualty.” Still true today.
  21. The official test is the Thai Ministry of Education's P6 Exam, which tests if you're as smart as a Thai 6th grader. I believe it's only administered once a year in December. Additional tuition is usually advised since you need to have skills such as addressing an envelope correctly and putting the stamp in the right place. (More onerous than it sounds.) Most of the schools in Bangkok using the Union method have courses for this. As Gaccha mentioned, Chulalongkorn University also has an unofficial test which gives you a grade.
  22. When I arrived a week ago they had closed one of the Immigration halls, and only half the counters were staffed in the other hall. Very poor service.
  23. Linagliptin (anti-diabetes drug) went off-patent in August of this year. Apparently 63 generic brands have been launched, but none of them appears to be available in Thailand yet, which is a pity. At 1,530 baht/pack of 30, the original Trajenta is rather pricey.
  24. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=3159
