  1. I've been using a Kasikorn " VISA" card for a few years now. No problems
  2. I've read so many articles about the dangerous roads in Thailand and that they need to do this and that. Nothing ever happens. I quit reading these articles about roads. It was like that before I got here and will like that long after I'm gone.......sadly!
  3. Did I miss something? Last I heard this Expat tax thing was just a proposal that many people think will never happen.
  4. I think you are drinking too much CNN/MSN Kool-aide or listening to too much Whoopie dribble. I have family in the USA, and they all say the economy is sucking. The election was proof positive that nobody cares what the woke people think. If you get yourself into a wokeism rehab clinic, you'll be just fine. Best of luck

  7. Possibly if they are there illegally. If they are there legally, they have nothing to worry about.
  8. Some time ago I saw a girl (in a bar) wearing a T-shirt that said, "It's all fun and games until your parents find out". Seemed appropriate for this article.
  9. About 6 or 7 years ago I transferred about 100k USD (3 million baht) via SWIFT to Thailand. On the transfer document I simply put "living expenses" as reason for transfer. The bank in Thailand also called and asked what the money was for, and I told them the same thing. I've used this reason for a number of smaller transfers also. Never a problem.
  10. Can't think of a single reason why I would want to be a Thai Citizen. Have too many benefits from USA that are way better than anything Thailand could possibly offer. Any Western Expat that considering applying for a Thai citizenship should do careful research in regard to the implications to the benefits they receive from their home country. As screwed up as America (and some European Countries) are today they are still a better place to retreat to if this third world country should go upside down. Here's to hoping I never have to leave.
  11. You may very well be correct, but I have no way of knowing for sure. I paid the amount quoted to me at the 3bb office (at Big C Extra) plus I gave the guy a tip. It took him better part of an hour to get the cable snaked across my ceiling to come out next to my TV. This was almost 2 years ago so maybe their install policy is different now.
  12. 3bb installed fiber all the way to my room on the 4th floor. Not only to my room but they snaked the fiber across my ceiling to where my TV was located. Installed plastic conduit to bring down from the ceiling. A very professional job in my opinion. These were 3bb guys, not a third party contracter.
  13. When I lived in the USA, I had a Sony (tube type) that lasted 24 years. Then when I moved to Thailand, I bought a Sony 40- or 42-inch LED (can't remember exact size) in 2009 that I still had in 2022, and I gave it away (still working) to a Thai family. Reason being that I wanted to upgrade to a smart TV which is now a Sony 85-inch Android which is still working great after 2 years. I've had too much good luck with Sony to ever consider any other brand. Yes, they cost a bit more but when you average the cost over 10 or more years it's not that much.
  14. Yes, let's see. She became a DA not by being stupid but by prostituting herself to the Mayor of San Francisco. AG - same reason and assisted by the same Mayor to run for senator but who really cares if a woman who slept her way into office is the POTUS, after all we already got bartender in the House.
  15. Safety and maintenance in the same sentence as Thailand are a perfect example of an oxymoron. Don't see anything changing in the near future, just more bla, bla, bla.
