What's a reasonable price for a lady drink?
thrilled replied to TheFatOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The way I look at it is if you want to play you need to pay. To me that’s small money but maybe not to many. Girls aren’t there for free. They are making a living and your helping. -
I live in Korat a month every year. I do the same

Thailand is HOT. I mean to hot for me to go anywhere except to the mall. I can handle it for a little while, Ain’t no way I could live there

I wouldn’t be in Thailand if I didn’t have the funds to live good. It’s hot. The air quality especially around Chiang Mai can be unbearable. Since Covid prices have gone up quite a bit. For me 1 million baht a year was sufficient annually. Now it’s closer to 1.2 million baht

Khon Kaen parents forced to pay ‘tea money’ for student admission
thrilled replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Every country is different. I believe starting in 1st grade you have your kid in a good school you pay more money. And then later later going to a University is the same. If you want a better University you pay more money. Thailand is 100% about money. The better you want you,pay more money. -
Foreigner Questions Thai Dowry: Netizens Respond
thrilled replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I believe what you’re talking about is Sin Sod. The man pays money, gold, diamonds, water buffalo etc to the mother of the bride. If the lady is young, never married no kids extremely pretty then her Mom will expect a large amount. If the guy can’t come up with it then the girl won’t marry or see him again. If the lady has been married before older, has kids then the amount of sin sod is a lot lower. But I have seen Sid over 10 million baht and 30-50 baht gold. -
For one if you don’t speak Thai your like a fish out of water. If you speak English to them 9 out of 10 they don’t understand you. Over 90% of Thai women are not prostitutes. They might think you smell or you try to have sex with everyone in Thailand. They think you have a high body count. They don’t want you to give them HIV. Good luck.

I have Kasikorn Bank. When I want money from Schwab I just do a wire transfer from my brokerage account from Schwab. I call them. They keep my standing instructions on file. I say use them. I tell them how much. They read a disclosure. From 9 eastern time in the U.S. the money is usually in my Kasikorn account in 19-12 hours.

thrilled replied to Negita43's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Mine don’t have a key. It has a key fob. Push button start. Won’t turn off til it’s it park. Then after it’s off it stays in park. That’s the way it’s made. It can’t be pushed -

Kasikorn Business Account
thrilled replied to MangoKorat's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
If you’re a U.S. citizen you need to make sure you don’t have over $10,000 in the bank. You’re talking a business account. The U,S. To stop off shore banking has a FATCA law. And Thailand abides by it. The IRS will fine you heavy going over that amount. If you notify the IRS then I believe your fine. -

A year for me in Thailand I spend an average a million baht annually. So 20 years would be 20 million. 30 years 30 million baht or close to a million dollars for 30 some years. -

Not sure why he was running. He had no chance. Trumps not campaigning and as of now he’s in the lead coming into the Iowa caucus. -
Another (tricky) income tax question
thrilled replied to BenStark's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
In another note if you are a U.S. citizen and have over $10,000 in a Thai bank you need to report it to the IRS or be fined because of FATCA. Supposedly works with the U.as. Government. If not notifying the IRS you can get a huge fine.
