I had USD accounts with HSBC both in Indonesia and here in Thailand Ok the first part I agree with but if you go into the branch to transfer any foreign currency out, the first form they give you to sign is a withdrawal exchange to Baht and then they do the repatriation you wish in Baht using a separate form. So if you are repatriating those funds to another foreign currency account they will be exchanged from Baht into that currency. You don't have to google it just go to the branch and try it.

Thanks for the bump. I just took my bedroom filters off and reverse-cleaned them with the bathroom bum squirter.👍

is there any advantage to opening a separate account with HSBC in IOM? They could easily convert that to an offshore account if residency is called into question.

Spec is just fine for what it is? A basic car. Not everyone needs a separate laptop/notebook attached to their car. How does a Celerio compare to an air-cooled VW beetle?

Like the old rabies joke, I'd bite your arm off for that.

Married to a Thai why not simply get a marriage visa.🤔I Unless i suppose you stay away for more than a year at a time.

I am thick so don't understand the question. All banking in Thailand is done in Baht. So whatever you do it will end up in Baht. Some will claim they have a US dollar account in a Thai bank, but may not have tried to transfer dollars out. They get immediately changed to Thai baht and then get transferred.

It happens a lot. Happened to a mate of mine recently. Go to the nearest police station and report the loss. (Procedural). They may not even be interested but it is procedural. Then upon return home go to your local DLT and apply for a new plate. Which will probably require an inspection at a vehicle inspection station as you are changing provinces.

Most visa fees and conditions between countries are reciprocal. So recent Thai increases are probably a tit-for-tat reaction. 🤔

She probably ran away from home. Many teenagers do that. Where she got the money to fly and why she chose Syria instead of Weston-super-mare is a different question.

Cannot answer for you as I do not know what you like. I think I am OK where I am but it is a bit quiet. Because it is quiet we don't want too many people making it noisy. There is only one condo building here that I know of. To paraphrase:

Chiang Rai is smaller and maybe more intimate than Chiang Mai, which is just a big city. Both are too big for me long term. OK for a day or two.

All sorted then. I am glad it is that simple.🧐

Q.E.D

I am still intrigued. Is the location of the proposed dedicated meter in a common area? Does the condo grant/allocate specific parking spots for residents? Does the electrical supply designated for the parking area have sufficient capacity for all resident's parking spots to have their own meter? Is the OP prepared to pay to have the service to the parking area upgraded as such? Or does he expect a special fee for the provision of such to be levied against residents with normal cars. Thousands of people in the world have no parking rights outside their own houses, how do they charge a rechargeable car? I suppose by owning a hybrid which it seems the OP already has. This is why not all cars can be wholly electric as proposed by some short-sighted governments who must pander to the short-sighted electorate. But that is probably a subject for a different thread. But I can't be arsed.

'Funny Lady' Woman" is brilliant; set in 60s UK full of snips of great music; refs to famous people like Quant; Milligan; Jagger. FTFY.😉

Sure we do. It is about smug, entitled people wanting others to pay for their personal infrastructure. If you want a charging station, buy one and install at your own expense. That is what you would have to do if you owned a house.

Was there a group who wanted a gasoline pump on the property? Why should there be a charging station?

Dealing with Immigration here is the first time most posters on here have to deal with government offices. I doubt in their/our home countries they have to do so. I suspect the requirements in their/our countries' government offices are just as exacting.

Most village shops have this. Ant-a-cin.

My tree goes back 20 generations. hahaha.

I just needed an account where someone in UK could simply transfer GBP. It does cost GBP 50 per annum for the privilege, otherwise OK.

LED's are brilliant they stick to the fitting with magnets and have these connectors.
