Woof woof, feel free to move to anothr thread and get lost

They exchange to Thai baht effectively, and I have the documents to prove it You seem to better informed about the rules than anyone else in Thailand, because I just called the bank with that question, and their answer was that they don't have a policy on it yet, because they don't know the rules yet

How any foreigner on a Non O or B visa or visa extension can be a resident? The money is in the FCD for 8 years already, which I consider a bit longer than a few years. I asked the call centre of 3 banks before I send the money to Thailand in 2015, and all told me about the same procedure. Exchange the foreign currency to Thai baht first, pay a commission, of 0.5% if USD or 1% if Euro, on that transaction and then exchange back to foreign currency before sending back. I'm sure you have a credible source link to prove your claims?

I'm sure you are well aware that FCD stands for Foreign Currency Deposit and not Fixed Currency Deposit. So you are just talking around the question. I'm obviously not a resident and every bank in Thailand will exchange the Foreign currency in the FCD first to Thai baht, then back to foreign currency, before sending it back

I'm not sure about that, because previously I also had a Euro FCD with them. When I sent the money back to Europe, they could not do it straight away, but they had to first convert it to Thai baht, then convert it back to Euro as they can't send baht out of the country. If the balance in the FCD was already in Thailand, why they couldn't send it back without the exchanges? I know for sure other banks have the same procedure

For years do I have a significant amount in US$ in an FCD with Kbank. Since it is in an FCD, I think technically it isn't remitted to a Thai bank account yet. If I exchange it to Thai baht and deposit it in my bank account after the new year, will I pay income tax on it?

Well, not everyone on this forum is native English, so we sometimes make spelling or grammar mistakes against the English language. Luckily, there is only ONE pedantic jailbird on this forum who think it's his duty to scour the forum to correct everyone on their slightest error.

I have decided to give a nearby children home rice as new year's presence. I have looked in Makro, and noticed that for about the same price of 15kg Jasmine rice I can buy also 25 - 30kg of fragrant rice. The latter is probably what they eat all year round, while the former will obviously taste better. So which one would be the most appreciated?

When I receive a chair that is COMPLETELY different from the one I ordered, then I see that as soon as I open the box. No need to assemble it to see something is COMPLETELY different from what I've ordered.

Which means they didn't think further than today. There is no country in the world where prices don't increase constantly. There is no country in the world where exchange rates are at the same level all the time. That isn't rocket science.

Still can order from Wishbeer, and as far as I'm aware Boonrawd has it's own online sales platform. And never known a mom and pop store that will not deliver with a simplephone call.

It is the excise tax that makes wine expensive. local producers pay the same excise tax as importers

Since when is there a law that prevents delivering alcohol?

Hello there, from one to two is a 100% increase

Just enter "agent" in the chat and you should be transferred to something pretending to be a life person, though with AI, and Alibaba being a forerunner in this technology, I sometimes doubt it is a real person

Nice try to deflect, but no cigar for you. We are not talking about people getting bitten by soi or other dogs, we are talking about people getting killed by dogs

Which part of underaged don't you understand?

Sure it can, but why there aren't frequent stories on this forum about a labrador who killed someone? I know i see them all the time only about pitbulls

From the picture in the news article, it looks like the cheese department is run by Jagota and most likely the meat department as well then, which means way overpriced. They run the same at big C extra, and to be honest I have never seen a customer at the cheese counter there

When was the last time December had some serious rains? And Songkran is still 120 days away

I did it the first year it was "required", and noticed they didn't take any notice or whatever. When I asked if didn't need a receipt or whatever as proof, they said no. That's when I knew it was a waste of time, and haven't done it ever again

Happens only in Thailand of course http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7702913.stm

Did you just post your resume?

This is a 500 Kyat note, if the machine accepted that for a 500 baht note, then most likely any coloured paper, cut to size and the number 500 written on it, will most likely also work.
