Vanguard is the reason I'm doing this. Foreign addresses will soon cause drastic reductions in what you can do in Vanguard's funds. No moving money around between funds. Only able to withdraw. So I'll move a bit from Vanguard to SI and see how it goes. Apparently you get one of those Schwab ATM cards everyone seems to covet so much too.

From my readings I would say yes. The account is for non US residents/citizens to allow them to invest in the US market. There's a list of countries to choose from on the website. You have to click on the country and it will let you know. Thailand: yes. Philippines: no. Canada: no. This is residence country, not citizenship country. Apparently it depends on the tax treaties.

What did you use for proof of residency? A certificate of residency from immigration? Copy of lease? Bank statement? Thanks in advance

Yes.

The big problem for Trump is even if he has grounds for appeal, he needs to put up the full amount of the 385 million, either in cash or bond. And no bank that does business in NY can give him the money.

+1. I had season 1 unwatched on my NAS since it broadcast but neglected to watch it thinking it was marvel-like. After starting downloading season 2, I gave it a go and pretty much binge watched season 1. Had I realized it was from Showtime, I would have watched it much earlier. They do good sci-fi. The first few seasons of Stargate SG1 come to mind.

Yes. I was there yesterday. Didn't do the EKG yet, but it looks like this would be the place to get it. Quite impressive for a Thai public hospital.

Oh my. Does this get added to the Brit count since he already had left Thailand? Current Brits 21, Russians 17.

Where's your link to the source of the screenshot? I'm sure the original article was not about pot., likely meth or heroin.

Just like Trump, Carlson is another “useful idiot“.

I think both of those were more than 1500 baht.

Like all the Republican “news“ they spin up to keep the MAGA rubes excited, this is just another example. Thankfully the discovery happened far enough in advance of the election to make a difference. I would bet a large sum of money that this story never makes it to Fox news or the other right wing “news“ outlets. Expect more of the liars to be charged shortly.

Thanks. I think it's just an EKG but will confirm. Actually I need a data dump from my pacemaker too but I just visited BHP and the technician for the pacemaker company only comes to Pattaya monthly. Funny, when I was in Bumrungrad it only took minutes after they called for the technician before he showed up. Fortunately I have a remote device that can dump the pacemaker data and send it to my home country where they can hopefully send it directly to Dr. Koonlawee Nademanee who did the ablation or to me to pass it on. I'm sure I could get Dr K to send a request for the EKG to any hospital here if needed. Lifecare has the EKG listed at 3000bt. My initial consult with Dr K at Bumrungrad including EKG, pacemaker dump, blood pressure, etc and the consult was about 5500bt.

I prefer not to go to BPH for the obvious reasons. Maybe some local (govt?) hospital with a heart clinic could do it. Thanks

Them 737 max's are cheap these days. Good time to buy. 555

You think everything out of China is the same quality. The Thai will buy the cheapest they can so it can be marked up more. I believe Zenni makes their own frames. Own an iphone? Made in China. As for your designer frames, good for you. Much easier for me to get new frames every couple of years when my prescription changes. Also gives me a backup complete pair of glasses(one prescription out of date) in case I lose or damage the current ones. Was that you a few months ago whining about how you couldn't find somewhere to get new lenses made for their custom frames?

Not that. Anything but that. Smoking dope at a rock concert. Oh, the humanity!

The only difference between zenni frames and the high priced frames in the west is that the western ones have a fashion label. It might say Ray-Ban or Gucci or something but the quality of the actual frames is comparable. I recently had an eye test in Canada. I inquired as to what frames they had comparable to the titanium, full flex, etc frames I got from zenni for around $20 USD. They had nothing of that quality and the closest titanium non-flex was over $200 for the frame only. Glasses used to be cheap everywhere 20 years ago and then the fashion industry made them “fashion“ which allowed them to raise prices through the roof. Don't get me started on how the fashion industry has destroyed music. Notice how all the new stuff focuses on pushing brands?

Got a ways to go before that happens. Last count I had was Russians 19, Brits 17, and now Germans 2. What, no Aussies here this year?

If only he could get his AU pension here in Thailand.

Couldn't even spell his new name correctly. Missing an 'l' and an 'i' and an 'o'. Also has an extra 't'.

Cue the movie “The day after tomorrow“ from 2004, or the 1999 book “the coming global superstorm“ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Global_Superstorm

Bad memory huh? The twitter blurb you posted is from after Trump effectively killed the bill. The Graham quote above in question was the Republican position before Trump put his fat finger on the scale. Definitely an unarmed opponent. No memory, no logic, no understanding of the big picture.

See the Lindsay Graham quote just above this post of yours.
