  1. I had Covid a few months ago, on day 1 I had a mild fever, then it turned into a full on cold type thing (constant runny nose, sneezing, coughing and sore throat) for the next 3 days (notably the fever did not return after day 1) and then it stopped. I had a bit of 'clearing the throat' for about another week, then it was completely gone.

    Mini PC

    I got an MSI Cubi 5 which I use when I travel, I set it up with a monitor, keyboard and mouse in the hotel. I added an additional 2TB SSD drive to it. Hardly ever use it though.
  3. He almost certainly actually left the country and the immigration officer did it on the way out.
  4. No joke. The bank does their own appraisal to find out the value. There's a whole licensed industry of certified appraisers / surveyors who do this job. Often the person buying the house will get one done as well, the person selling the house tends to pull a random number out of their a$$ which is why this appraisal industry exists as the numbers often have no basis in reality. It's only worth what either some idiot will pay for it or what a bank will lend and the bank come up with their own numbers and that's all that counts. Unless you're borrowing only a small fraction of the value of a piece of real estates equity then they're getting it appraised.
  5. Banks value every asset themselves and they believe nobody elses numbers. So any information provided is quite literally meaningless What's worth 50 million to one person might be valued at 10 million by the bank and they go with their own internal figures. This is why the case will go nowhere, because it's complete nonsense.
  6. But CRS sends end of year balances and throughput on accounts - that's it. What did you expect CRS to be? Some kind of advanced statement reporting detailing your every transaction
  7. Perhaps, but if you have a cancer diagnosis then getting any kind of travel insurance can be incredibly expensive - even if it's being treated and you just take a short holiday between active treatments assuming you disclose it - if you don't disclose it then it's the same as not having insurance as they will find out.
  8. Not only should all debts be cancelled but the low life scum criminals who offer this type of service should be serving long prison sentences rendering the debt completely unservicable. Anything less than this means the government is partnering up with the illegal businesses.
  9. I would think you have to pay tax regardless of which exchange you use if you're trading and make a profit. I only ever really make purchases on these exchanges in recent years and then send it elsewhere, it will never be used to cash out.
  10. UpBit Thailand works with foreigners. It's foreign owned (Korea) which is likely what makes all the difference.
  11. This is my point, people don't wake up one day and call 911 to rush themselves into hospital for an emergency leukemia diagnosis - it creeps up on you in the background like many cancers, you only notice it when it's already been there for years. The reason I mentioned this earlier is because I suspect the original story is full of lies and half truths and if he has leukemia then he should go and see a specialist when he's back home. Then there's the issue of his holiday - how long was this guy on holiday for? 1 year? 6 Months? 1 week?
  12. There's some kind of rule about everything on a plane being massively fire retardant. I doubt he could have set fire to that blanket even if he tried, and even if he did someone would just put it out.
  13. Is Leukemia something that comes on out of nowhere? Most travel policies will cover emergency treatment, they're not an alternative to health insurance
  14. Believe it or not most people don't care about cannabis and when I say most I mean the vast majority of people.
  15. The problem is not with your bank, it's with your choice of exchange. Sign up for UpBit Thailand and these problems will no longer exist.
  16. I think you do the passport scan yourself on an app.
  17. The domestic industry can die for all I care, the government would make its money from the massive increase in imports. Something else that would also likely happen is that the domestic industry would get off its ass and actually begin to do their job - make good wines. That would mean more jobs and better products. Right now they can continue to produce whatever rotten stuff they're making and still have an edge, so the current policy encourages mediocracy.
  18. With much lower taxes perhaps it would be 4 or 5 Billion per year
  19. I'm quite partial to a glass or two of cognac these days, either Remy Martin or Martell VSOP, the XO is ok as well but it's 3 times more expensive than the VSOP and only slightly different so I stick to the VSOP these days. Martell VSOP just over 3000 Baht a bottle Martell XO 9000 Baht a bottle The pricing is a complete rip off and it's less than half that price in the UK which also doesn't have low excise duty rates but these prices are insane.
  20. Should I open a 'Marshall Islands' company with bank account?
  21. Indeed, what I posted is not merely a theory, it's been going on for a long time now. The reason the Chinese are not coming to Thailand is because the Chinese government won't allow them to come. It's as simple as that. Every day I read another propaganda article about encouraging more Chinese to come - it's pure nonsense, the government know this as well, so do TAT. Yet they persist with the fantasy. When the Thais provide whatever it is that the Chinese government want from the Thai government then the floodgates will open again. It must be something big or it would have happened already. They have weaponised tourism for decades. I've posted about this issue many times over the months yet the people on this forum don't seem to get it, they think it's due to a failing Chinese economy. They're all falling for the propaganda and cover up of what's going on.
  22. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, clearly the guy involved did his research and he must have been pretty competent and clear headed at the time he chose to exit this world. You would attempt to turn the gas off so nobody else gets harmed after the event, when they do this in cars notices are often posted on the windows.....
  23. Do we have any idea where the guy is from? What I mean is, is he a white skinned 'euro type' foreigner or from some local country.
