Yes. Okay i was hoping for them to be good 😅 Yes i will do it and have it done with. I have been without aircon for couple of days now and i feel much better overall! I wish there where some good healthy alternatives.

Thank you for your response. It seems like people on Facebook and TikTok just spewing out miss information 😅

Yeah or buy water cooler 40l, but not sure if they are any good, so you have any experience with them?

I think they know they have been in this business for more than a decade. The unit i have is 3500 watt when the cooling is on. That takes a lot of electricity. The old ones are not specially efficient when it come to electric cost.

Hey everyone, I’ve been hearing different things about border runs lately and I just want to clear it up. From what I understand, the old rule that said you're only allowed to do border runs two times per year is no longer in effect. Supposedly, border runs are currently unlimited — but I’m not 100% sure if that’s really the case. So I wanted to ask: What’s the actual current situation? Are border runs now unlimited, or is the 2-times-per-year rule still being enforced? If anyone has recent experience or solid information about this, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

They told me its bcs a lot of there aircons are getting broke and they always have to fix them and it cost them a lot. But we agree on that i only have to pay 30%. One technician told me they would put a new aircon for the inside unit instead of the 5500 baht. I have seen new aircons for 6000 for the inside unit on facebook market. I don't know why my landlord dont change them since they have to maintain them all the time, they are very old. I did not ask about the warranty but i will. Yeah i will get it fixed.

yeah i have to tell that to my landlord if they want since the one i have is old.

Brand : TTC CENTRAL AIR. Age : 2013 Its 12000 BTU No it belongs to the apartment i rent. Yes on the left side of the coil you could see its building up like ice. Looks like aluminum its dark but not sure. Actually after he check the price is 5500 Baht since he want to change it to a new one.

RCA is asking me 4500 baht to fix the coil since it have gas leakage.

How much will it cost to fix in pattaya? Thanks

Hi everyone, Right now I’m on a tourist visa, and I’ve heard mixed experiences — some people say getting a TIN is easy, while others say it can be a bit of a hassle depending on who you talk to at the Revenue Department. Is it only possible to get it if you stay 180 days in Thailand in a kalander year? I’m also wondering: Can I get a TIN while on a tourist visa? Do the yellow house book or pink Thai ID card include or help generate a TIN? Any tips or recent experiences on how to successfully apply for a TIN? I really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been staying in Thailand for almost 2.5 years, doing border runs and having two ED visas during that time. I’ve never flown out of Thailand—only done land border runs. Now, after my last border run, I’m planning to apply for a visa extension (I know it costs 1,900 baht), but I’m wondering—could I run into any issues? Is there a chance they could deny me? Has anyone had experience with this kind of situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

yes they will care if your country get the report, why would they not?

No. Did you check the documents that been presented?

So if you open your account before 16 August 2023 and have under 250000 usd there will unlikely be any report is my understanding

For accounts opened before 16 August 2023, they are considered pre-existing accounts under the CRS (Common Reporting Standard). Here's how it works: Pre-existing Individual Accounts (opened before 16 August 2023) may not automatically be reported unless the account balance exceeds the $250,000 USD threshold. If it does, enhanced due diligence and reporting may be required. If the balance is below $250,000, it typically will not be automatically reported unless there is a change in circumstances that requires further review or reporting (such as if the account holder's tax residency status changes or the account undergoes significant transactions). For pre-existing accounts: If the account holder's self-certification indicates they are a tax resident of a reportable jurisdiction (like UK), and their account balance exceeds the $250,000 USD threshold, it may be subject to CRS reporting. For accounts below the threshold, the bank may not have the obligation to report unless other specific circumstances apply.

i will read it one more time. just to add I did ask my thai bank about CRS and about the forms the bank send out to there customers, they told me if I dont sign or answer the questions my bank account will still work as normal and nothing will happen.

The reporting threshold for foreign financial accounts under Thailand's CRS (Common Reporting Standard) guidance is THB 7,500,000. For pre-existing entity accounts: If the account balance is THB 7,500,000 or below, it is not required to be reported. However, if the balance exceeds THB 7,500,000 at the end of any calendar year, it must be reviewed and reported For pre-existing individual accounts: Lower value accounts: If the balance is THB 30,000,000 or below, they have a reduced due diligence requirement. High-value accounts: If the balance exceeds THB 30,000,000, enhanced due diligence procedures apply. These thresholds apply unless a financial institution chooses to report all accounts voluntarily.

But how likely is that Thailand will report this, I did not hear from anywhere that anyone got a call or a mail from there home government that they have to tax a transaction

So the balance of 5000 usd will be reported but not where they come from?

You right there is so much confusion behind this. i don't dare to ask the thai bank about this.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding CRS (Common Reporting Standard) and AEOI (Automatic Exchange of Information) regulations. My home country participates in these programs, and I currently have a personal bank account in Thailand. However, I reside in Thailand for less than 180 days per calendar year. If I receive an international transfer of $5,000 from Vietnam to my Thai bank account, will the Thai bank report this transaction to my home country? Does it make a difference if I have or do not have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) registered with the bank? Did anyone here been reported to there home government? I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thanks for your time!
