Foreigners Face New Hurdles in Opening Thai Bank Accounts
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That’s easy. But the worst is that it is required to transfer money from abroad in a thai account under your own name to buy a Condo. How can you do that when they will not let you open one in the first place. Same with the 800k requirement. It’s funny. Right hand does not know what laws left hand is imposing. -
Thailand May Ease Overseas Income Tax Rules Amid Global Changes
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What most people dont understand though is that is mostly beneficial to tax to Thailand since according to the specific Tax Treaty between the different countries mostly it is deducted in home country and on average the total tax will therefore be lower than just be taxed in home country. However. Its a paper mill of course. -
Causes of High Electricity Bills in Thai Apartments
paahlman replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
Aircons are correctly like you say installed directly to the main breaker. One for each. The eletricity calculation is from the app that belongs to the Airconditioner brand. most do this now. When it comes to other stuff you want to control Fridges.. hot water heaters.. Know the spec and install for example a 150 baht like you say zigbee or wifi outlet of 16 amps. That will cover up to 3680 watt or around that range. That give you hot water metering. There are other ways to do it also of course. You can do that with an old airconditioner too. If it has alot of BTU and requires alot of amps. Go for maybe a 20 amp wifi or zigbee or even passive outlet without any app control. Its worth mentioning not all people like to check any app so these meters comes with screen directly on them also. Worth adding that this gives you no more cheaper bills, but it makes you maybe understand what the culprits are. -
Causes of High Electricity Bills in Thai Apartments

Most aircons today are controlled by app on your phone. There there is often electricity usage stats. And if you really want to know. Install a 150 baht zigbee or WiFi electric plug that it connects to. Same for water heaters. They show live usage. Daily weekly or monthly or yearly. In the app. -
Pakistani Tourist Robbed by Scam Artists During First Pattaya Visit
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Best to not have a wallet.. Did not have one for 20 years. -
First of all its 183 days.. not 180. Further.. The tax kicks in on around 300 000 baht. Because you have to factor in deductables on the transferred cash. If taxable income after deductions are under 200k . there is no to little tax.. But im not 100% sure on that number..., but it is in that region.. Also.. if your country has a tax deal with Thailand its mostly beneficial to tax to two countries as its deductible in home country again. The tax in Thailand is step based. 5%, 10% , 15% and 20 and finally 25% depening on amount.

Agree! -
Write it in only english yourself and have two witnesses sign it with also video evidence of it happening. You can then spend 1000 baht about on have a lawyer notarizing it. If you want to translate it into thai that can be done on the day it is needed if needed. Notarizing it is not necessarry but it looks better.

Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes.. True.. But my point was only that there is no rule against getting the driving license on a normal visa exemption stamp for example.. The requirements are still like you say certificate of residence, health certificate. Then either take the road test with the theory first and all that. OR convert your existing license from home country and do a color and reaction test(the latter requirements are different from province to province). There is no need for a "dodgy"processing actually. I thought you needed some kind of visa to do this, but you do not. At least not in the past. I think its still the same. -

You can go Bang Ron pier to Koh yao noi then further on to Ao Nang. Probably the easiest maybe. -

paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is a hit and miss.. Obtaining a driving license can be done on both a visa exemption stamp and on or a normal tourist visa as well. Also to open a bank account can be done also withouth any non o or dtv. There are many ways. work permit or purchase of condominium comes to mind. But yes.. With banks.. it helps to have a long stay visa.. Absolutely.. But its not always required. -
Absolutely.. and stronger chores are forgotten like empathy, moral, comittment, honesty and standards!

Understand.. I did mean the hardware MAC, but thought that also could be seen , but probably then only in the internal router. Not external connections.
-
Ok.I will check it out. Thanks.

All this is true, but I do not think you can change your MAC address. Its a hardware ethernet or wifi address as i understand, linked to the actual computer in hand. or phone or tablet. or fridge for that sake.
