  1. Indeed, even deemed as being "non-pointworthy" with the policemen doing their best to keep the arms/hands straight by their side.
  2. I renew my DL in Cha-am, although I live in Bangkok and have my registered address in a Bangkok district yellow book. No problem whatsoever, and in fact the Cha-am DLT staff are more efficient and friendly, accepted my yellow book address without question, and was overall a much more pleasant experience than renewing in Bangchak or Chatuchak.
  3. An old story, it happened many months back. One of his private planes was used for the transportation; and he's now Minister for the Interior since the last election.
  4. So you are still taking NR despite the cancer linkage...I've been taking NMN instead (early morning), and also Taurine later in the day.
  5. I got a 12 mth M/E Non O Thai Visa from the consulate in HCMC earlier this year. I made an online appointment 3 weeks in advance and brought with me the required documents that they had listed on their website, as well as my Thai bank book. It was a painless experience and I received the visa 2 days later.
  6. I would be curious to see comparable Thai statistics. I had blood clots in my feet 2 months after my second shot of AZ, however the Thai doctor insisted that the clots were not a result of AZ and that it was just coincidental.
  7. I've never been a UK/EU resident so the non-residence issue did not apply. The purpose is for receiving commission income from European clients for a new project I'm involved with. I liked the jurisdiction reputation of IOM and tax treatment, as well as good interest rates on FD's if I accumulate funds there.
  8. I'm going through the account opening procedure with Standard Bank, Isle of Man at present. If doing it remotely it takes a few weeks including video calls and their own due diligence and background checks. The minimum account balance for their Optimum Account which is their transactional account is $7,000. The interest rates offered on their Fixed Term Deposits is of course much better than in Thailand.
  9. With the prevailing poor air quality over the past week the mask wearing at present is not unexpected.
  10. I've been buying monthly from iHerb for most of this year, and the typical delivery time has been about 8 days. However, this month the deliveries are significantly slower. I noticed in the order tracking that this month my orders are being delivered from LA to BKK via Doha, whereas in the past it had been LA to BKK via SG, so this change in transhipment location seems to have slowed the delivery times. Hopefully, the current delays are only temporary.
  11. The amounts that you've mentioned are for the Angkor Wat entry fees. Instead you should apply for the 30 day e-visa, as per the following: https://www.evisa.gov.kh/information/visa_type/4
  12. If you have the budget for it, Bumrungrad have a Rehab centre in Bang Krachao Bangkok.
  13. In the upper left side of the screen, you need to tick the box in the address field, and then on the right side you then click 'search', following which your notification details should then appear. Then take a screenshot.
  14. There is a precedent... Ex-PM Morarji Desai of India Consumed Cow Urine For Medicinal Benefits "Cow urine is used in the preparation of several types of medicines. It is used even for the treatment of incurable disease like cancer." https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/india-news-ex-pm-morarji-desai-consumed-cow-urine-for-medicinal-benefits-junion-health-minister-ashwini-kumar/338174
  15. I got the Krungsri Exclusive Visa card earlier this year. In my opinion there's not much benefit in being a Krungsri Exclusive client unless they approve you the visa card, as quite a few of the benefits come with the card. Fortunately, I already had a current Krungsri Platinum Visa card (unsecured) from years ago when I had a work permit. So I had to apply for swapping the card to the Krungsri Exclusive Visa card (unsecured) which took a couple of weeks. I was not required to show updated income documents which was a relief, but I did need to consent to an updated credit bureau report. Without the existing track-record I believe that applying for their visa card on an unsecured basis would be difficult. My accounts are domiciled at their Emquartier branch, which is foreigner friendly. The staff there took care of the visa card swap application, and occasionally they contact me of there's a new fixed deposit offering. They have plenty of info on investing in mutual funds although that's mostly in Thai language.
  16. You an check the status of your account/membership at: https://www.youtube.com/paid_memberships Try downloading YT again onto your phone, and then logging on with your account details etc.
  17. IF YT Premium, the benefits are advert-free, offline and background play on YouTube and YouTube Music. YouTube Kids is also ad-free and supports offline videos.
  18. Since it was reported years ago that Thaksin's Thai passport was cancelled, I assume he flew in today using his Montenegro passport, and received a 30 day visa exempt stamp. Curious whether Thai Immigration will treat him as a foreigner then....will need to file a TM30 from the Corrective Services Dept, apply for a Thai Elite Card, or LTR etc. Although in such scenario he'd be unlikely to fulfil the requirement for a criminal record check. -
  19. Indeed, including some substantial monetary donations he would have made to ensure a smooth return.
  20. It only affects funds transfers sent by Wise. BBL, K Bank, SCB can receive larger Wise transfers, but the other banks are capped at 50K per transfer). Normal SWIFT transfers are not affected.
  21. It was mostly the export of animal feed products from Thailand to several markets in NE Asia.
  22. I did this 10 years ago so unsure whether it's still possible. My lawyer incorporated the company at the DBD as a Thai owned company and a month later changed the shareholders to 100% foreign. The was properly registered at the DBD and our annual audited filings were accepted at the DBD and the RD without problem. (I'm unsure what the penalty would have been is we had transacted any domestic sales.)
