  1. Prehistoric stuff, don't need all this junk in an EV. Good all DC series motor delivers a constant torque. Only problem to solve is to deliver the the high Amps DC current.
  2. Is this a prepaid card? But I am afraid that even large cash withdrawals in an overseas bank might come to the attention to Thai RD, if they really want know. Don't forget it is a declarative system, where penalties can be inhuman when someone gets caught.
  3. Wasn't suggesting to get around it, I was saying that it is/will be very easy to trace ATM withdrawals made by Thai residents.
  4. So why would overseas banks request Thai TINs from their Thai resident customers? They are bound by CRS to disclose any information on request by the authorities of the country of residence. I have been requested to provide a TIN by UBS, and some members here have been requested to do so by their UK bank.
  5. Very easy in fact. Your bank will know that you reside in Thailand and request a Thai TIN, happens all the time now, happened to me. On request by the Thai RD the bank will provide a listing of your withdrawals in Thailand. Think about it.
  6. Why don't they use a floating solar farm that the sub could tow while diving?
  7. LTR/WP is a retirement visa. I have it and I am married. What else do you need? The only improvement I could imagine would be to give married guys the same prerogatives as married gals, with regards to permanent residence of citizenship. (Thailand will be laughing stock, when they introduce same sex marriages, in mixed couples the foreigner will always apply as wife. My guess would be that they will address this issue with legalised bottom counts, if a foreigner tops too mut he'll get depolted.)
  8. Totally agree, Boeing have come with an amazing amount of innovation innovation with this aircraft: full composite frame, non bleed air power units, and manufacturing outsourcing. None of which exists at Airbus. However this effort seems to have exhausted the company, as they have been unable yo come up with a true successor of the 737, and kept upgrading a 60 years old design, resulting in the MAX fiasco.
  9. They have, it is called LTR/WP you can apply if you wish.
  10. You got it all wrong, Thailand taxes only the portion of one's worldwide income that is remitted to Thailand. Which opens the door for nice tax avoidance schemes. Imagine how nice this can be for someone who transfers only a tenth, or less, of his income to the only country where he is tax resident. You see, TIT, so we have these new rules that look like we are collecting money for the underprivileged Thais, while we give a rock solid tax alibi to the super rich who spend most of their time in London, Davos, Cannes, Bavarian Alps, etc..
  11. Yes it is an LTR/HSP, and they will probably reuse that framework, backed by jobs in the EEC. Makes sense.
  12. Nope, an hexapod.
  13. Is it me, or are we observing recently, on Aseannow, a shift from Farang offenders to Thai crooks and rapists. Interestingly none of the latter gets the beating some of those poor Swiss, Kiwi, etc. got This guy should be banned from any activity involving services to foreigners, and that under a suspended 5 years prison sentence.
  14. Well, if you were a woman under 25, I could be a [second hand] leisure activity.
  15. Ok, TA sold some scrap metal. Maybe it's me but I have the impression that this article doesn't say anything more than "Thai Airways sold some mothballed aircraft". I have have to guess that it is some "strategic realignment" of their fleet, and that some Thai hisos will get richer from the commissions on the purchase of replacements.
  16. I am stunned. You have achieved a milestone.
  17. 1000THB * (Your age - Her age) = Monthly allowance
  18. Can have a bit of this.. and that..
  19. Just try it.. if you can..
