    If we ignore all rare occurrences there is little left. You do seem out of touch. Trying to associate this with a certain bar owner was a deflection. 

    You really are a tiresome troll, try finding an interest off this forum.

     

    Nobody is ignoring all rare occurrences and what that has to do with anything is beyond me. 

    I did not try to associate this event with a certain bar owner. I said that since he and his group started buying up bars along that Soi things have changed and in my opinion for the worse, and one change that is associated with this vicious beat down is the appearance of security thugs in the Soi

    Although tis incident did not occur at one of his bars, nor were the security associated with him as he has his own. 

    Not the point. The security are now in the soi and never used to be.

    In the better days you may have had the odd incident involving ladyboys but nothing on this level. Actually the girls could normally deal with unruly  customers themselves

    No farang is going to get taxed on money from overseas.

     

    Sometimes I think certain people are trying to force the issue when there is no issue there

    Did you do the maths for USD. I did.

    If we're only discussing sending USD then I don't know which is cheaper SWIFT or Wise but from what you and some others say it looks like using SWIFT is and I'm sure that information will be useful to some people.

     

    From my very recent experience sending 19000 GBP to Thailand and the exchange rate offered to me using SWIFT then using Wise would have been cheaper.

    I will not use SWIFT again for any inward remittance to Thailand

    Swift will be better exchange rate for 800000.

    Wrong.  I recently transfered about 900000 using SWIFT and despite a phone call from the bank to semi negotiate an acceptable exchange rate, it was still almost half a Baht less than I would have got using Wise. Pounds Sterling was the currency.

     

    I only used SWIFT because I wanted an FET to go towards a condo purchase. In hindsight I would have been better off paying for the additional FET document locally.

     

    Wise is the way to go
