$3.40 to feed fish & chips for 6? Was that in the year 1945?

If he came to Thailand in the past 8 years, he would have no issue with the exchange rate, since it has improved since. It is those that arrived here 15 - 20 year ago, when the pound gave you 70+ baht, that will have not forecasted this

Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Condor airlines is a German airline that flies BKK and Phuket to Europe

Yes I saw that but it doesn't show much about the seats. Hainan is cheap at 70K return to Europe, but for a mere 25K more can get Condor, which uses airbus and has lie flat and complete privacy seats. Guess I'm gonna opt for that one instead. Is also about 2 hours shorter both ways

Anyone flew Hainan airlines in business class on a Boeing 787-8? If so please share your feedback Condor airlines is another contender

Anyone read this yet? https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/thailand-failing-to-attract-sufficient-investment-usd-at-47-baht-vat-at-10-as-target-472329?fbclid=IwY2xjawFTik9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHYfHGxruzHCrZ7D0u7ZAcs7ksxObynYai8JSWqKd37ULelWylzU_1do_CQ_aem_m_FR1BdCgRi4ZVCGLWtvwQ Thailand failing to attract sufficient investment, USD at 47 baht, VAT at 10% as target Despite Thailand’s favorable location, infrastructure, and agricultural potential, Pichai noted that the country is failing to attract sufficient investment. He suggested that the Thai baht should ideally be at 47 baht per USD to support exports and bolster economic growth. The current rate is about 34 baht per USD, implying a potential devaluation of over 38% to reach the target.

Many have tried to compete with Shopee and Lazada, but they all failed. JD and Wish are just 2 of them

Cow leather is the best you can get, and that is dirt cheap. In Europe the price for this would be at le3ast triple that

Real leather doesn't flake, copy leather does

I guess this is just a wind up, if not they should confiscate your driver license, and lock you up for premeditated man slaughter

Joined the military at age 17, lied about where he served and carried weapons, and quit one he was gonna be deployed in a warzone. Honorably my arse

I have noticed that Thai people give every post on their FB timeline a like, without even reading it. They just scroll and give likes. Who do you think has mental issues?

So that explains this You need a 1 year visa to get an account these days, and they may have assumed that because you had a yellow book, you had a 1 year visa as well. All banks I have opened accounts in the past 6 months required, passport with1 year visa/extension - yellow book - pink card - and driver license

So you had a marriage visa at that time, and now I remember your thread that you lost everything. How is the re-issue going?

If you have a yellow book that mean you must have a 1 year visa, so what's the problem? Tax ID is Thai tax ID, and everyone with a yellow book or 1 year visa can get one, but again it depends on the person at the other side of the desk, because most likely he will make new rules on the spot

Everything depends on how important the branch manager considers himself and if he knows his job. Most of them obviously don't. I have savings accounts in 3 different SCB branches, and tax ID or work permit was never required. I'm on a retirement extension The branch manager in Big C Xtra Pattaya insisted I needed a work permit, even when I told him I had SCB accounts already. He got a bit upset when I took his picture and told him I would inform head office

You could check for yourself https://www.krungsri.com/en/rates/deposit

The Mee Tae Dai account opened online is Thai citizens only. Also note Krungsri has different way of calculating. Other banks pay you 0.9 on the first 2 million, and 0.5 on the amount above. Not so with Krungsri. If you have 200.001 in your account, you get 0.5 on everything.

It's like the badges on Asean Now, you get them for nothing

Sounds as if Prawit's friend is putting his teeth into this. Thaksin should have known better as to attack Prawit publicly.

I watched the debate, and all I can say is that both lied through their teeth, but you wouldn't expect anything else from politicians, of course. The closing statement, which I think is actually what most people value a debate on, clearly goes to Trump. She has had 3.5 years to enforce everything she claims she will do, why didn't she do anything of that in the past 3.5 years?

Nobody cares if you have bank accounts outside Thailand. Tax agreements are between governments, not between banks, so Thailand will know what you earn in your home country, and they don't in which bank that money goes

Also if you take away the 3.7 billion USD subsidizing? https://electrek.co/2024/04/12/china-gave-byd-an-incredible-3-7-billion-to-win-the-ev-race/ China gave BYD $3.7 billion to ‘win’ the EV race https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-10/byd-got-3-4-billion-chinese-aid-to-dominate-evs-study-says

Neither can BYD
