dentist prices don't vary that much so I suggest your man just go to any dentist located nearby or the dental hospital and have the tooth extracted. 1500-2200 baht estimate. 

There around 7 types of Elite visa in total. And there’s one option allowing you to stay here for 20 years for a one-million baht fee. And there’s also another option that you give you 20 years in Thailand but coming with 2 millions baht. But it also comes with other privileges.

In the event that the Member wants to transfer Membership to the third person, what are the procedures to do so?

Only Grand Individual member are allow to transfer once and subject to the rate of twenty percent (20%) excluding VAT of current market price at the time of the transfer and the approval as stated on Terms and Conditions of Thailand Elite Membership. After transfer, the term of the Membership is subject to the remaining period. Easy Access Member are not allow to transfer their membership.

Thanks for the replies. If I take baht bus, should I get it on 2nd Road, or Buakhaew?

 

Baht bus does not charge extra for luggage?

 

I don't have to drag bags, I have a rolling trolley, but it's too far to walk to station.

 

I am ultimately heading to Aranyaprathet/Cambo border. If I go via Bangkok, I will probably take bus to Mo Chit, then bus to Aran.

 

But I am also thinking about taking train to Chachoengsao, staying overnight, then next day pick up the train to Aran. WIth the train I don't have to worry about bags being overcharged and mishandled, and I think that now it goes right to the border at Rong Khlua market.

 

Yellow bus from North Terminal to Aran was first choice, but they weigh your luggage and charge exorbitant rates -- 10 baht for each kilo over 15 kilos. And I don't know if they go all the way to the border or terminate at Aran bus station 6 km away.

geeezee …..  what a boring life I lead

If the organizers had got permission prior to holding the rally then all would be fine ….  

but as usual, they couldn't even be bothered.

I asked a similar question a while ago, nobody I know voted for Cha Cha, 

we must be in a different Thailand …. I know many folks in Phitsanulok area voted for him because they want security & stability within the country, they are sick and tired of the fighting, lawlessness, roadblocks and protests as was previous.

financially on a downward trend, with production down, unemployment up, farming down due to droughts, baht, way, way too high

You could probably say that about most countries nowadays. Vietnam is moving forward as is China although slightly less than in previous years. India is the next powerhouse in my book. 

If your sick of Thailand then I would look at Vietnam or Malaysia ( but outside KL )

Doesn't say much for the strength of the A pillars.

if you mean the centre pillar where the doors latch onto …  they seem to still be intact and mostly straight, however the door window surrounds have collapsed obviously because they are thin and non-structural.

"....Thailand in to a fully democratic and progressive, free thinking country"

 

Honestly what exactly do you mean by this................how are Thai's being oppressed exactly?

 

How would things would dramatically improve with a new government?

 

Maybe its a case of grass is greener.......but day to day life for the majority of thai's is not going to change just because of a new government

 

Lets look at the USA "a fully democratic and progressive, free thinking country"........................Such a great country isn't it which has started the countless WARS in the past century and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths of civilians.................tortured prisoners..................only country to drop an atomic bomb innocent civilians killing 100,000+ .etc etc

 

----So please tell me why you think a fully democratic and progressive, free thinking country ======= better than the government that Thailand has at the moment? Because it certainly doesn't

 

How many wars has thailand started against other nations in the past century..............0........?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you …..  for a very sensible comment.  I think most TV farang whinge about this government for the sake of whinging. Democracy is a smoke screen … 

Thai people are not being oppressed in anyway, they can still do as they would if it was anyone else in power.

Thailand's history and past is evidence that it needs someone of authority at the top or lawlessness will become prevalent.

There are other shares with Bendigo bank, you want the ordinary shares, I have the link below, look at the payment date (interim dividend), the rest means when what date you have to hold them at, e.g. when you have to of purchased them, etc etc, noting these dates can change, but rarely do.

 

https://www.bendigoadelaide.com.au/shareholders/calendar.asp#ordinaryShares

did you register on that website as an e-shareholder …   ?  I will do my maths and look at purchasing some soon ... tks.

If you have a spare $250,000 AUD that will give you your 30,000 baht per month which is around 7%, as for capital gains tax you should get the 50% discount if you hold the shares for more than 12 months.

 

There is an old saying though, don't put all your eggs in the one basket, i.e. sometimes it's best to spread the money into other blue chip shares, albeit that they are paying a lesser amount, perhaps averaged out reducing the risk and obviously the return to say 5%-6%, but each to their own.

 

Note I have four bank stocks paying anywhere from 5%, 6%, 7% and when I purchase them two years ago, I knew they would go south 20%-25% but that didn't phase me as the tax free return is what I was looking for and eventually they will go back up and of course there will be no capital gains to pay as a non resident, so if you do buy in and they go south, as long as you don't need the money and are sure of it, just enjoy the ride with the chocolates every 6 months.

 

It looks like holders as at December 02 2019 will receive the dividend in May ……  

am I reading that correctly  …  ???

I just purchased some more Bendigo Bank shares this morning at $9.80 which are paying $0.70c per annum, paid every 6 months, next payment due in March, then September, now if your a non-resident for tax purposes, that's about 7.15% tax free and you have the benefit of zero capital gains tax payable when you sell them for a profit, i.e. if that's your intention, besides, I never liked anyone else handling my money, at least if I F up, it's my doing and I have no delusion of paying others commission who are all hype on making me money, usually BS anyway in my opinion.

 

Firstly ask yourself if you are a resident for tax purposes, or a non resident, then go from there, residents have the $18,200 threshold before they start paying tax, and they pay capital gains tax, although a 50% discount applies if you are in for over 12 months.

So they pay a annual dividend of 0.70c …… ?  that's interesting,  even still being a resident allows $18,200 before any tax so I could up to 18k in the dividend payment which is around 30,000 baht per month ….

I'll look into that one ...

from now on she will get VIP treatment …..  the hospital is dedicated to seeing happy customers not angry one's.

On to something a little different …….       ' I'm have trouble getting my head around this '

Can anyone assist with this ?   is it considered a safe investment or not  ?
