  1. For tax residents (180 days or more), the receipt of income may trigger Thai tax liability, regardless of how the funds are used.
  2. Currently there is no limit for incoming transfers. If the recipient does not have a Foreign Currency Deposit (FCD) account, the Thai bank automatically converts incoming funds into Thai Baht (THB), and no transfer limit applies under Thai law. The well-known USD 1 million / 360-day rule applies only when foreign currency is retained in Thailand, i.e. on an FCD account. Therefore, when funds are converted to THB on arrival, Thailand imposes no statutory limit on the transfer amount. Any limits encountered in practice come solely from the sending bank or payment service (e.g. Wise (about 1 Mio Baht per transaction, depends on the thai bank) or US/EU banks, US(about 1 Mio $), not from Thailand. https://www.bot.or.th/en/our-roles/financial-markets/foreign-exchange-regulations/exchange-control-regulation.html
  3. One hand i like it, on the other hand it will be a huge income loss for the small thai shops wich are selling alcohol 11-5 when 7/11 cannot.
  4. China government does not like these scam centres in Myanmar, google: China sentences 11 members of mafia family to death
  5. On IMDb he ist listed as Additional Crew (Armorer and SFX) not as an actor.
  6. Installing these cameras is easy, but handling the data responsibly is not. COVID masks make recognition more difficult, and false identifications can lead to serious problems.
  7. I paid 10,000 Baht when I moved to the village where I now live (Jomtien), because 3BB had no line here and the cable from the main road to the village had to be installed. Now the 3BB staff say that the cable to my house is defective and that I have to pay another 10,000 Baht. But this should only be a normal replacement of the drop cable from the street to my house (300 m). The service technician came twice; before that, the internet had worked every few hours, but now, since he came yesterday, nothing works at all. 3BB told me that suddenly many people in the village would need a new line. How do I know that the service technicians are not working together with the external cable service, simply blocking the line in the main computer as if one had not paid, and then claiming that a new cable is required?
  8. Trump reveals Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is in custody.
  9. It looks like the killer was a again a transgender, like in the school shooting...
  10. I think, as long there is a Thai-SIM in slot #1 it works, independent from the country-IP of the network.
  11. My mobile has two SIM-slots. What happens when i switch to a foreign SIM and accidently start the K-App?
  12. Presumably a harmless bruise in connection with an anticoagulant.
  13. International to Thai Bank: 900k THB no problem.
  14. But the FDA website for homegrowers (https://nar.fda.moph.go.th/) and the app Plookganja are still active.
  15. Vietnam also does not offer land ownership for foreigners. One important point in Thailand is the environmental pollution. Now that the Kok River and the Sai River have been contaminated with lead and arsenic (about 40 times above the limit) due to Chinese mining operations in Myanmar — to the point where even elephants are no longer allowed to bathe there because they develop skin conditions — no one knows whether products in supermarkets still come from those affected areas in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. So, at this point, the only safe option is to buy imported products from Australia or from trusted sources like HappyGrocers. If this pollution continues, I’m leaving.
  16. Better fly with airbus. Finnair has good business class offers with airbus from and to TH.

  17. Boeing was destroyed by their managers and is now a nofly. The dreamliner had a series of electrical fires. Use Finnair busines (Airbus) from and to TH quite safer than Boeing. 2018-2019 2x737 Max plane. 346 killed. Dec 2024. 737-800. 181 killed. Nov 2024. 737 cargo caught fire. Nov 2024. 737-400 F destroyed by fire. May 2024: Crash in Dakar. May 2024: Boeing Fedex crash in Istanbul. March 2024: 737 fire in engine. Texas. March 2024. 787. Nodesdiving, nearly crash. Jan 2025. 737 Max door blow out. Now 1x787-8. About 242 killed.
  18. Got Covid more than two weeks ago. Complete loss of sense of smell.
  19. I got covid 8 days ago. I lost all sense of smell and taste and it is unclear when or if it comes back. Since I enjoy cooking, this is a nightmare trip for me. Another side effect is that chilies no longer taste spicy, because the smell and heat sensations share the same signal pathway.
  20. He is a talented YouTuber and marketer who also speaks perfect Thai. He has probably now realized that there are other fruity apples in the garden of Siam.
