If you work for a large corporation they're likely going to want to check the legal status of your situation which leaves only the LTR option.

That's a bit of a problem isn't it - they should order immediate by elections in these areas as many people vote early. Elections in those areas where the margin between the end result and the number of votes cast for suspended candidates should be considered null and void.

Nobody can read your emails. Think of the email address as a phone number. If someone sees your phone number written down, they can't listen in on your phone calls. It's the same with email.

I entered Egypt at that crossing many years ago. We had to wait for many hours while a convoy was built up it then had a full military escort all the way into Cairo. It's been closed for a very long time.

Gold tanked by about 10% at one point yesterday....getting very volatile out there which would be kind of normal I guess after an epic run up like this. It's correcting.

I'm constantly reminding the Mrs to never walk behind the car when I'm reversing. She doesn't drive and has no idea what a blind spot is - I'm super careful anyway and always look behind as we were taught back in the day.

The suppliers have to make some profit I guess and that will vary.....they're essentially the same price.

Just get one of these : From here : https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/ups/cyberpower/ups-online-sc-ols2000ec-2000va-1600w-tower-p036492/ Double the capacity, online - decent price and decent brand.

Makes that 15 year extension of my previous 5 year membership for another 500k Baht back in 2024 look like peanuts, well worth it I guess. I can come and go as much as I want until 2040 with what I have now. I do believe they will be forced to reduce prices and start introducing basic entry level offerings just like they did before in the next year or two due to a total lack of new sales. In 2040 I'm not paying them millions just to extend again, that's for sure.

Well, this is what happens when they're allowed to literally make it up as they go. People getting ejected on arrival - not a good luck - people will just limit trips, many can't be bothered to apply for a visa, especially if they want to audit your bank account. I would never get such a visa that requires me to disclose balances.

They might as well give up on this one, nobody wants to use it based on what I've heard. I used it a few months ago but the Mrs won't go anywhere near it.

How to prevent this from happening 100%, would modern breakers with RCD type switches prevent these issues completely?

It begins....

Tax is the least of your concerns, first you will need to get something that's not available - it's some kind of import license / permit for the specific medical device in question - or they will simply seize it. Don't bother. They are incredibly petty and confiscated an 'ear thermometer' which I had ordered online from me - citing the requirement for medical device approvals issued from the Thai government - the kind of thing a manufacturers subsidy might obtain prior to importing a few million such devices. It's a joke.

Sounds like a win-win scenario all around to me.

Yes, that's right - that's why I mentioned it - the absurdity level is off the charts with some of these politicians. Anything to grab a news headline I guess.

Ok, I'll bite - as US interest rates are and have been falling a little but nowhere near as low as the Thai interest rate what's the deal on these Thai Bonds which must have a huge ROI to attract so much capital into the country? Anyone got any pointers here?

Anti money laundering on subway cards? Don't people put pocket change onto these things? Money launderers operate in large quantities - what's next? They'll be calling for the banning of 1000 and 500 Baht notes if they have their way 😂

Well that's a new one!

Nothing happened, change of Government and that's the end of it, for now. January 2026 is rapidly approaching, a time when people would traditionally remit previous years earnings and I have a feeling that with these recently introduced tax changes and the increasing price of the Baht that remittances from foreign investment accounts will plummet even lower than last year - and they did not like what happened last year.

This refers to incoming bank to bank transfers from foreign accounts held abroad by residents of Thailand. I don't know what the previous 'limit' was but I was under the impression it was lower than this.....

You're thinking of cash aren't you? This is not about cash.

No

Sounds like a classic scam, ignore it, never send it back because once the bank reverse the payment after you've sent it back then you're out of pocket.

Why can't the air force obliterate these launch sites along with the ordnance supply chain and arms depots where they're all stored and put an end to this whole thing? I can't imagine for one minute that Thailand hasn't been watching them for years.
