  1. How do they know about your bank in belgium ? From sending money though them to thailand ? You can have several banks in belgium or else where. 1 bank is not going to know your wealth, just what is on your account there. Did your bank give them all the information or just your income deposited at their bank ? Which belgian bank ?
  2. It's a clean feeling , knowing everything is flushed out. The water is usually pretty clean here .
  3. Isn't that where the multifunctional bumgun comes in handy ? I don't want to go to the toilet when I'm not home , so I "help" to flush it out before I go out .
  4. Don't worry , next year they are going to get their hands on all those expat incomes , maybe even on their worldwide income.
  5. Our money is dying ?? Not my money. Isn't it your own fault ? I'm getting richer every day doing nothing . With gold and silver going up much , I now get a bit of the thrill of the bitcoiners. You should have bought precious metals or crypto . What worries me is that I die way before my money does. Too much money and nothing to spend it on. So basicly my post is the opposite of yours.
  6. Yes upload speeds are usually lower , but it does not explain why seeding doesn't start even if it indicated that there are "willing peers" . That friend of mine was recently in europe , and there was absolutely no problem uploading downloaded torrents. Same computer , same torrent program. I wonder what would be less obvious for companies like true/nt/3BB : downloading slow but steady at 500 KB/sec or quick at a top speed of about 15 MB/sec ? Even if you use a vpn.
  7. Does download speed really matter ? Unless you're downloading full blueray rips @ 40 GB or so ... Of course I do not torrent because it is illegal , but a friend of mine does. Downloading is not a problem , but uploading is. NT really throttles uploads , weirdly enough especially in the weekend. Hard to get a 1:1 ratio. Or so I'm told , because I would never ....
  8. ^ That was a post from july 2023 . I have my own NT fiber line , but my thai landlord did it for me . 316 B/month , but at MY request I pay for full year .
  9. Again , last week gold had a dip , the thb dipped , now gold is back higher , nearly 80k euro and the thb goes up. The goldshops here don't have to change their price , gold in thb is stable.
  10. Is that an inspiron or XPS ? In 2006 they looked nearly the same. Looks like my XPS 17 m1710 from 2006 which is still running with XP SP2 media version here with me. I used it with XP till febr 2023 , 10 years or so after end of support. So W10 can still be used for years after oct 2025.
  11. Anyone knows why Lazada won't let you review all items in 1 order from 1 seller when you bought many items ? Most so far for me was 9 out of 23 . Written review or just giving a star rating. The not reviewed ones are listed to be reviewed , but when you click on them, it goes back to to ones you already reviewed. 9 is not a steady number , I've had about 5 out of 8 they let me review. I chatted with them , but haven't heard back.
  12. It seems THB follows the gold price since April. Euro to Thai Baht Exchange Rate Chart | Xe While in other currencies Gold is al lot up , it stays steady in THB. Gold is going to keep going up , so will the THB. The US elections may reverse both.
  13. Yes , strong wind on wet tamarind branches makes them break too easily. I read that some bamboo roots are dangerous near foundations or concrete driveways. I like bamboo , but did not plant any because of the roots.
  14. Tamarind tree grow fast. Small leaves though. Tamarind - Wikipedia Folks here planted one 1,5 m high , 5 months ago , now 4 meter high. And you get some fruit.
  15. Could be you have a different sort of motor in the fan , because I use the capacitor method for 15 years now with no problem. 2 to 3,5 uF will do it (cheap on lazada). Yes it still zooms a bit , more from the vibrations of the pedestal but the AC motor is not 100 % quiet , whatever speed. Thaiwatsadu has a 12 V DC fan (connected to solar) . They maybe more quiet and with lower speed out of the box. The standard speeds on fans here are just too high AND too NOISY. Using the airco fan > the faster you have to get it cleaned and if you have a big one , even the lowest speed is still too much and noisy.
  16. Yes , the 3 TOA colours I've painted are darker on the wall than their colour chart. Also satin (or semi gloss) is too glossy , I added some mat white.
  17. Not officially . No interest . I have no bank accounts in "home" country.
  18. I have enough money of my own , but since inheritance (and received in 2023 , so before 2024) is not taxed , it comes in handy to avoid paying taxes in Thailand. In about 6 years , I will get a pension , if that is taxed here , 2030 will be my last year in Thailand.
  19. Yes I think there will be a big difference in provinces where very few farang live and where maybe 10 thousands live like Bangkok , Chonburi , Phuket. With a couple of hundred in a province like mine , the tax office will have more time . I think I'm lucky , living off an inheritance received in 2023 and no income since 2008. Both I can prove with tax returns.
  20. There is of course the matter of trust , are the notes real ...
  21. Dreamroom productions is a US based one , uncensored , but they like most uncensored , they are not so good. Tastes differ , of course. The best and kinky ones are censored , and the decensoring may not be perfect , but better than looking at pixelated ones. Pixelation differs from movie to movie , some harsh others mild. So the japanese are forced to censor BUT it's ok to use very young looking actress . Weird.
  22. ^ Where is the whole story ? All I could find was this : AEE Asia Entertainment Expo 2024 (thaiticketmajor.com)
  23. If true about the lower rates , it will get gold much higher to compensate the higher THB.
  24. Your link , if you can trust it says 6.000 new each year , seems unreal > AI So different than US or euro actresses , that do 20 -30 min clips and aren't so beautiful. Those male actors are pretty good too. They act better and more natural than US soap actors. And are very lucky to get those hot japanese women in all kinds of situations.
  25. I wonder how much money those teachers/officeworkers/nurses get for "getting it hard and usually by many" in those 2 hour movies.
