Wise (Transferwise)....what is the latest with them?
I've used wise to transfer funds from banks in both Canada and the US. The US transfer was easy. The Canadian one, not so much. I wouldn't blame wise for that but I would blame the Canadian banking system. They were probably right. Try to avoid the interac method.

Air Canada flight revival: Bangkok to Vancouver route takes off for a holiday high
That's so funny. Why would anyone fly a third tier airline like air Canada when they can fly Eva? 13 hours is about right for non stop. YVR to Taipei is about 11 hours. Taipei to BKK is about 3.

Average daily salary in Pattaya
But I'm only charging 1000bt/day. 1500 if you want no safety gear. After all, we need to pay someone to clean up your blood.

Best way to fly BKK to US west cost?
Fly business. Lots of legroom. Lie flat bed. Problem solved.

Average daily salary in Pattaya
I smell a business opportunity. One could charge Thais an hourly fee to beat up some dumb falang who will obviously need to sign documents saying there will be no repercussions. Then charge the dumb falang 1000bt per day for a series of opponents. Win, win, except for the dumb falang.

Mail forwarding services for Americans
I use anytimemailbox.com. Pick the city/zipcode and they'll have a bunch of providers in that area that you can choose. They sub out the processing to smaller shops that normally are shippers with some private mailboxes. The price is dependent on the provider you use. I'm at about $100/yr.

For Expats only. Thinking the unthinkable.
As soon as the MAGA morons get Trump elected again, the US will be out of NATO and Czar Putin will be able to do anything he wants with Europe.

My HP Mini is giving me Maximum headaches
Load a diagnostic live-usb linux of some flavor and see how it runs there. Might help figure out if it's the SSD or something else to do with windows. If it was me, due to only 8GB of RAM, I'd install linux over the windoze...

I’m so happy to see that legal cannabis in Thailand is now a successful program.
For your information, the LUNGS can cope with moderate amounts of MARIJUANA SMOKE. And current medical opinions are that no amount of alcohol is good for your liver. That would be 0 drinks a day, not one or two.

Not drinking
If you time it right, you can get maybe 3 drunks in in a day. Drink, pass out, wake up, repeat... They're out there. You drive by them every morning when they're drinking at 7:00 am.

And the liver don't like ANY kind of alcohol. So what's your point? Don't smoke pot. Don't drink. Maybe you'll live longer. It will sure seem like longer...

This thread is about the cheapest GOOD weed you found. If you haven't tried it, how can you attest to the quality, whether the vendor is a ripoff, etc.?

O retirement visa: Still no insurance requirement?
If you don't know, you don't need to ask. It takes effort on your part to get one (or more) so if you had one, you should know.

No. Make sure you do not have a valid reentry stamp for your current visa or you'd have to leave twice to terminate your current visa.

Moving 800k from bank a to bank b for immigration
Whatever they called the account, it came with a bank book. After all, I added 400k each day for two days. If it was a term deposit like you're alluding to, it would be two separate accounts...

Posting pics of advertisements you receive without a link to where to buy is ridiculous. If you really think everyone needs to see the ad, click on it and post where you end up along with the pic.

At least 90% of whinging, whining, complaining and moaning comes from British mouths acording to famous Brit vlogger.
Well, since the Brits are the only ones that know what “whinging“ means, obviously they're the ones that would be doing it. Whatever it means.

Moving 800k from bank a to bank b for immigration
I did this a few months ago. Moved 400k one day from BKK bank to k-bank. The next day I moved the other 400k. I showed immigration my bank books and they said it was ok and just to bring both bank books and the copies of the new one only. K-bank has a 2 year fixed deposit(if that's what they call it here) around 2%. It renews automatically after 2 years at the current rate at that time. Beware, they will try to push the 1.?% package that renews at 0%. F'ing banks... It took a while to get them to show me the 2 year deposit.
