  1. I support my gf through bitcoin since 2-3 years.

    International bank transfers are slow and expensive and western union a rip off.

    She got verified on coins co th and gets needed money every week on her bank, in the hour for 8thb.

    Pro: works well since I/gf use it.

    Cons: large spread and only market order.

     

    I actually try to get her verified on Bitkub, but just discovered Satang exchange...

     

    I will be coming more regularely to TH with long stay, hope to open SCB acc and get verified on thai exchange, I travel on Bitcoin it's my "international currency saving account",

    I am not trading, my only gains are holding the strongest currency, so there is no income.

    If I exchange USD to THB at a better rate tomorrow, did I have a capital gain?

     

    Has anyone experience with Satang?

    It seems Bitkub has good reputation, is it "as good as advertized"?

    I use Binance p2p in Cambodia, and have the Crypto and Nuri cards, but local bank charge on ATM wd.

    Auberge du Soleil Kampot - Menu.pdf

  3. Auberge du Soleil in Kampot serves delicious Swiss food as Cheese Fondue, Cheese Raclette, Röstis, but as well French Brasserie Cuisine and at affordable rates. Quite perfect $1,00 Expresso, warm served Croissants and Chocolate breads are recommended for your breakfast. All this in a beautifull French Colonial corner house, 1 street away from riverside.
    Kampot is kind of a foodie's place with a large choice of nice places to eat different types of good food, but this one is a Must.

  4. 25 years ago I had to order my Nescafé with 3 spoons (of dehydrated acid coffee) and often received an "american style", tasteless brown water with 3 tea spoons laying in the sub plate...

    Now you can get a really tasty Italian Style Espresso!

    20 years ago, you could speak much more freely on Thaivisa which had to wait for internet to get out of the CERN.

    The american politically correct language was not yet invented even in their own country!!! (Maybe americans ruling thaivisa still had a bit of their native english blood which could enjoy the English style morbid humor)...

  5. ATM transactions, cards and accounts are all free of charge where I live.

    I $witzerland where I come from, Postfinance offers free ATM/Debit card which, even in case of foreign country ATM withdrawal will not have any other surcharge on their side if your account is over a certain amount.

    Management of the account and e-banking is free and extremely secure as well, 24/7 helpline...

    But here in Cambodia, CamPuBank wants to charge me $6,00 USD for a CamPuBank only ATM card...

    I did not take it and remind the cashiers they should suggest the direction to give free "own bank ATM card" as checking my bank book, copying my passport, filling the form, etc etc is time and money consuming for the bank!

  6. What does Prachum have to be jealous about? He already left hi wife. He is the one with who ended up with the woman! No! Something is not quite right here!

    I have gone through 2 x-wives and in that time we had heated arguments before. But never was any of those times right after sex and her still laying in bed with only a towel wrapped around her, and me standing in a bath towel. That was the only time I liked her actually.

    I think that if there was a "Jealous Rage" behind these murders I would be looking for an alibi from the husband or Prachum's X-wife. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I don't think I would be none too happy to find out my wife was sleeping with my best friend. Especially if we had a business together and couldn't walk away so easily. .

    I agree, and would add that I fear mostly babies and eventually HIV or other STD, meaning I would not use a condom if I had planned to die romanticly with my mistress...

    But as I never wear a gun, I might would use latex to have sex with another girl than my beloved life-sharing girl.

  7. According to different news, the need of having a proper work permit will be enforced. (1995 law)
    A type E (Business) visa is not a work permit as most of us barang had thought until recently.

    The law is still not clear about one very important point:
    French Embassy had an announcement saying that you only have to make it and pay for the current year, but they withdrawed it without further explanations.

    According to the Labor Ministry here in Kampot, and as I did read on different forums, the year on which your first Visa E has been issued (even if on december 31st of that year) counts as the first year you have to pay retroactively! But you can read the opposite too!

    I have nothing against the idea of having to pay for a work permit, as long as I am aware I have to do it, but I have a big problem on accepting to pay 4 years back while I heard of others paying just the current year.
    On top, they told me I have to pay a $30 fee for an annual medical check. So we have to pay for a check, but we don't meet any doctor...

    First we had in may a very polite visit with 4 officiers from Kampot immigration and police asking to get cleared on that permit, and at that time they said I would have to pay only for 2014... then I tryied to get that permit being sent from one office to another, then I was said I needed a paper saying I had left Sihanoukville where I was registered, one and half month I wait and call again and again for that paper... 4 months struggle to do my best to be all in order....
    Finally I found the right office thanks to another barang indications... but they say I have 4 years to pay, 4x $100+$30 = $520

    I hope you can share your eperience and knowledge or even contacts for people able to give a final answer about these "up to your face" fees.

  8. "MH370 has been LOST"...

    Doea anyone remember the LOST TV serie?

    Where is that island?

    To me, as long as they have no physical evidence to prove where this plane ended, I will keep doubts...

    Not many people did talk about, confirm or decline the rumour that 20 ingeniors from Freescale Semiconductors were on board. If it was the case, I am afraid we have to consider a "Secret Defence" case!

  9. I cashed some profits on bitcoin and it helped me to realize My Dream:

    Open a nice little charming hotel restaurant in a colonial house in Kampot, Cambodia.

    Wanting to offer a cozy-friendly-convivial ambience, I named it Auberge du Soleil.

    I just (re-)opened it, it was named Senor Suchi, from wich I have kept the dedicated and trained staff, and Soleil d'Or previously, with a very good reputation which I will do my best to catch up in a step by step transition.

    I want Auberge du Soleil in Kampot to be a "Restaurant Gourmand" with (very soon) a "world fusion menu", from Swiss Cheese Fondue and Röstis, Mediterranean food (my origins), Tex-Mex (a couple things from the past menu) to Khmer and Asian specialities, and as well a "Boutique Hotel' with large and comfortable rooms, located in a beautifully restored French Colonial House of Kampot.

    You are welcome to pay your nights, drinks and food with bitcoins frations at www.Auberge-du-Soleil.com

  10. Stupid politicians!
    In Cambodia, opposition boycotts the parliament and requests new election...

    In Thaïland, opposition is not happy with the government, the government organizes new election despite it was elected by the majority without the claims of fraud at the time of the election, but the same whiners boycott the election which has been offered to them!

    I will never understand politicians...

  11. Yep...

    I have lost a lot on forex at first.

    Why? Too high leverage and greed!

    Now I only trade what I can afford to loose and I cash out regularely when in profit!

    My seed money is back and I only risk my profits.

    No huge Bingo but no suicidal lost!

    Only thing I plan to keep invested for one year is not directly on forex but 25% of the bitcoins I got as profit!

    25% already cashed, 25% to cash out before the end of march, and 25% to cash whenever I want or need...

    My advice: take profit and play again PART of it.

  12. I never seen as many Hummers and new model Range Rover as in Phnom Penh...

    And except the Camry taxi drivers, no one knows how to drive a car here, they will block the road for 15 minutes for an easy parking, do reverse preselections (drive the rightest lane to turn left, and when fast, they reach 30Km/h...

    ... but everywhere they say Cambodia is one of the poorest country in the world...

    So yes here I wonder why richer who are not able to drive a car do not support a bit the poorest instead of driv8ng the biggest luxury cars?

  13. Apple is a private expensive closed world.

    Acer is probably the worst with Futjitsu Siemens, HP is not reliable except maybe business category.

    To myself, I would choose Asus for the cost-performance with good quality, Lenovo for high quality but a little expensive, eventually Dell as 3rd choice.
