Ah yes, probably, was a long time ago. AC in - AC out I think so yes, likely a transformer also the thing was heavy - like a transformer.

Nonsense

They don't care about sales, they've civil servants, there are no sales - only taxes

Ah yes, the prisons are full of these people who can't control themselves. Alpha my ass

It's nowhere near as easy to replace a Labour party PM as it is a Conservative one - they're wise to that trick and always have been In fact their system appears to be designed to make it nearly impossible to do. I can't remember the details but it's up to the party rules to choose a new Prime Minister.

Dream on old man, you're getting off lucky with just 36% - it would be far more if I had my way and you'd be forced to sell your land as well.

Lol

Often the chargers will work for dual voltage these days but I suggest only plugging it in if the label on the charger itself confirms it works with both 120/220 volts. I made this mistake myself once with something I ordered from the US - I did have an inverter but forgot to use it and the damn thing blew up immediately

You bank often doubles, triples or in the case of some US banks multiplies it many times. For me the fee is 9.50 pounds per wire which is nearer to the real cost. It's a money maker for the banks to add a 200 to 300% markup to these.

Haha, shows what I know about crime - nothing 🤣

9 times huh? What does this little sign signify?

Annoying the Chinese always ends this way. What surprises me is that someone had enough clout to destroy the tourism based economy on a whim to get some casino opened. That is odd isn't it? Who?

Who cares - I never keep more than about $10k in there and only really use it for day to day spending when I'm in Cambodia.

36% is far too low, it's time to pay Also if Trump was serious about 'reciprocity' he would ban Thais from holding more than 49% in US companies and prohibit land purchases. That would be reciprocity. Grind them into the ground.

This happened weeks ago, perhaps he was only away for a few weeks and due back well before the birth. I wouldn't assume anything really. Also they have rasied nearly 50k in pounds which will likely help a little now she's on her own and without his salary.

There is redundancy in the supply chains, HDs destined for the US don't need to come from Thailand, they could come from somewhere else and the Thai ones go to Europe / rest of world. WD/Seagate are not stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket....again.

Lol, anyone can open a bank account in Cambodia, I've got one. They didn't even ask for proof of my address - I wrote it down for them and that was good enough, all you need is a 6 or 12 month visa and you're in - and that's with ABA, one of the most reputable of the banks.

Why only 36% ?

Right, it made me do a double take though as I'm flying back into Thailand with my Mrs who is Thai in about a week

I believe it's for foreigners only right?

Hadrian had the right idea and was well ahead of his time 🤣

Looks alright to me, and at that price even if you get just 4 or 5 years out of it it's essentially disposable. I spent more on laptops (2 high end ones) over the last 6 years 🤣

Depends if you're a tax resident or not and nothing is automatic anyway - you would need to declare income the following year and apply any double taxation agreements between countries. So if you were to move to Thailand now (as in today) it's not possible to stay 180 days as we're already past the cutoff date by 1 day - there's less than 180 days remaining in the year - there's currently 179 days left this year so any day after today is a good day to move to Thailand and send as much money as you want. You could stay for the rest of the year knowing that you're a non resident, but if you moved last week or last month then it's time to start planning if you want to remit a lot of money earned after Dec 31 2023.

Yes, that's the guy I was referring to.

I think some of them do make a proper business out of it - one with multiple employees and they don't do all the editing, filming themselves, etc. But we're definitely talking about the larger Youtubers with a big following - some of them have a really massive following, I saw one dude with more than 500,000 people following his channel - he went unusually silent over the last year or so though.
