  1. Yes, that's quite an ommission, I suspect most people will transfer less than 2 or 3 million a year, perhaps not their customers though - however they will still benefit from every lower rated band before the 35% kicks in.
  2. There is a reason for this but it's not what anyone seems to think it is. Make no mistake, there are many wealthy Chinese ready to travel all over the world. You will need a good memory to know it though as it's been largely removed from the internet. There is a list of countries where travel is discouraged, about 20 countries are on the list and Thailand is one of them. It's to do with crime, reporting of crime and criminal gangs from China operating out of these countries. Original articles reporting this have strangely 'gone missing' but they still existi within the archived memory banks of Googles Bard - see below Fully expected No - it suggests the semi official ban is still in force. This is from Bard : That's the reason that nobody is talking about, it's not new, they all know about it yet don't speak about it.
  3. Is Thailand still on the list of forbidden countries for independent travelers? Because if it is - then that's why. They don't speak of the list do they?
  4. Let me stop you there, you bought an Air Con from HomePro Buy any AC units from a well known local AC service / repair man and you can't go wrong.
  5. Because it means he's a wanted criminal = arrest on sight. Now you don't get a 'red notice' for unpaid parking tickets - it's always a serious crime, or should be - unless someone is abusing the system.
  6. I once read an article in some detail about this subject which is heavily censored across most of the internet and it's not what you think it is. You would imagine someone might be gasping for air as they breathe in a gas - but that's why they use the gas - you see, your body isn't intelligent enough to know if you're breathing air or some gas that contains no Oxygen. So if you breathe in a gas there is no gasping, just a slow loss of conscioussness Normally it's nitrogen these days, when you breathe it in your body doesn't know it's not air - you just drift off to sleep and don't wake up. Some info on helium vs nitrogen usage https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29684846/
  7. From clicking the link it sounds to me like he knew what he was doing and planned it in quite some detail. I'm skeptical that this involves anyone else. It would depend if the bag was taped around his head sealing it, in which case he could have held his breath while it inflated with helium, then turned the gas off before breathing it in just in case it 'popped' leaving him with a broken bag, an empty tank and a headache. Knowing the size and type of the bag would make a difference here of course. Maybe it was large and thin.....
  8. Upbit Thailand is the major exchange that works with foreigners, it's owned by a foreign company from Korea and they have apparently made scanning your passport a simple thing to do with an app when you're doing the verification.
  9. Even if you were single and with zero decutibles your tax amount would be 2500 Baht a year. Here is the tax calculator : https://www.uobam.co.th/en/tax-calculation Note that if you're married then it goes down to zero. As to your original question about WISE, it won't matter where the money comes from if you keep it under the threshold. However if you start sending much larger amounts then you will cross that threshold and with a little planning between 2 people I suspect you can stretch that out a bit more.
  10. I read that somewhere else as well and the first thing that came to mind is that they've rolled it (the proposed rule change) back a year. They have, haven't they?
  11. 14 million in salary alone never mind the investment income and likely zero personal expenses as PM. He must have been spending a lot to keep it so low.
  12. I find that highly unlikely, they may talk about it but it's never going to happen.
  13. From a simple cracking neack as it moves or was it a chiropractic manipulation? I've seen some of those manipulations and they can be very dangerous leading to injury like you say. Sometimes my neck cracks a little when I move it around, tiny amounts - this is not the same as having a chiropractor swing your entire body around by the neck nearly removing your head and resulting in a massive crack.
  14. Well it seemed very slow last week, pretty sure I clicked a link that took about 7 days to come up
  15. Ok, I'm sure there's a point there but I definitely missed it. I don't care if 'they' know I have some Bitcoin or not. Why would I?
  16. It's hatred, pure hate - that's the reason.
  17. Yeah, that's never going to happen, good luck with the vote on that law change. It is 'nice' of them to let everyone off the hook for anything prior to Jan 1, 2024 which is the way I read it. I guess they don't want to do 10 years of paperwork processing for what will likely be very little return.
  18. Some people believe the craziest things
  19. I believe this is an MPs only vote, going to be interesting to see how many of the coalition partners follow their new master.
  20. I've got a feeling the overweight ones don't do 400km a week.....
  21. I was more interested in your athleticism, do you train extensively to maintain an athletic physique? Because if you do then your high energy diet is going to be perfect for you
  22. Why are you atheletic? Most of us are not athletes.
