  1. Showed that. She didn't care! Now tell me what you think!
  2. My younger Thai stepson who has only a Thai passport and has only ever been out of Thailand for two weeks of his life was charged farang price going onto Kho Samet because he has lighter skin. The lady at the counter was having none of it! It is racist!
  3. To expand on my previous comment, if 70,000,000 people spend 100 THB per day on VAT included transactions that is 98,000,000 THB per day and 35,770,000,000 THB per year in increased Govt. revenue.
  4. Something costing 100THB now WITH 7% VAT included, will cost 101.4 THB after the VAT tax rate increases to 8.5% and 102.8 THB at 10%.
  5. I was on Patoprazole for years and it worked, until I stopped. I take magnesium because I sweat heavily. This helps with the acid but also calms the nerves to reduce anxiety which can cause GERD. Been off all medication since.
  6. I'm with Bangkok Bank Always been a daily limit of 50,000. No limit on transfers in from overseas. I just transfer on two separate days to my wife.
  7. It is due to Thailand now being required to adhere to international banking rules and laws. Nothing more, nothing less. I may be affected by this as I don't have a residency visa, but am married to a Thai.
  8. Problem is with no tax being paid in Thailand, you will need to pay tax in the originating country where the income was generated under international dual tax exemption rules.
  9. 90% of the time I eat Thai and Isan food. I'm not scared to try something different and my friends and family in Thailand say I 'eat easy'. Eaten some really funky things and enjoyed a lot of them. Very occasionally I get a hankering for western food, go get it and regret it 😆
  10. Use this link https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/road-traffic-accidents/by-country/ to find actual statistics. The worst countries are mainly African. Thailand is #47 on the list of fatalities per 100,000 ppl. India #90, China #96 although in those countries many people don't have access to vehicles, and probably under report. USA # 120, Australia #158, Germany #170, UK #173. All out of 183 listed.
