Just to be clear for all you non Americans… The US has two kinds of Christians… Orange Man Christians and Dolly Parton Christians…

This coming from a man who as president suggested that we could possibly cure Covid by cleaning our lungs with bleach!…

Deluded... How about following a 78 year old convicted felon/sexual assaulter who chases windmills that cause cancer and babbles on about his fear of sharks... #VoteKamala

Metal or not Krispy Pork will break a tooth…

Similarly you are handed a menu and the waitress returns after you wait several minutes and you point at what you want and she says "mot"... then you point at your second selection and another kurt "mot"... At this point I ask "Khun me array bang..." this usually gets me a bewildered stare and a call for assistance from other staff...

He's a Yale trained lawyer who worked as a venture capitalist in San Francisco for Robert Thiel who publicly likened Trump to Hitler... A true man of principle...

So basically the government wants to institutionalize gambling addiction…

Are you an ongoing Wise customer or is this your initial application for an account? It would be understandable for a person setting up an account to provide proof they reside in the country they are setting up the account in…

Yes... Best you keep your money under your mattress...

Everyone must do thier own risk return due diligence... Here is a link to how Wise act as a fiduciary of funds in the US... https://wise.com/us/blog/how-we-work-to-keep-your-money-safe-and-available-at-wise I personally I am comfortable keeping 2-3 months of spending parked here for the convenience of being able to transfer to my Thai account same day or next day depending on what time I make a transfer...

Not to hijack the thread but can one list their Thai spouse as a Payable On Death beneficiary on a US bank account?... It always seems to require a social security number of the beneficiary...

Now he can officially take off the neck brace…

“I KNOW THE BEST PEOPLE!”…

Love my partner and never see money as mine or his… He thinks the same… But I do question when we’re driving in the car and come across a stand selling Durian… He gives me a gentle but firm grip on my thigh…

Given a Durian stall has opened on about every corner I'm shelling out more...

Where can one source this router in Thailand?

JB Brings up a great point about the units turning yellow after a few years… Which ones should we avoid? Are there any guaranteed not to yellow?…

My Thai partner says problem solved!... 😋

Curious?… If my Wise transfer is not coded by my Thai bank as a foreign transfer (Wen Wise transfers fly funds from another Thai bank) Would this be accessible income from abroad?…

Wearing flip flops… So marked safe from electrocution…

Is the Thai Revenue authorities capable of handling tens of thousands of foreigner requesting an ID?… Also the Immigration Dept also must prepare for those who apply to also requesting a Residency Certificate (Which will be needed to get a ID)… Then they must be prepared to process the tax returns that will have support documentation in a hundred different languages… And at the end of that they will find only a few with income that are taxable… And those blokes with money are going to have a savvy accountant to mitigate most if not all of the taxes they owe… So this exercise will create a huge bureaucracy to pi$$ off most expats for a few baht…

The first time I was able to remove the rubber band intact from takeaway I proudly felt like I arrived…

Didn't they convert on of their cruisers into a submarine?...

My favorite is AirAsia… I’m in Chiang Mai and can fly direct to Bangkok, Krabi and Hua Hin… We do a lot of 3-4 day jaunts so with their app you can go right to the boarding gate… I also select the first row seats for a few more dollars and you get great legroom and priority boarding… There also a great regional airline… we can also go direct to Singapore and Kuala Lumpor…
