Thai government explores funding for digital wallet giveaway
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No word on how old folk with no phone or internet are going to get paid. It is only for rich folk I suppose. Anyway, back to the funding. I am sure that the PM could fund it from his overseas accounts. If not, ask Prayut. -
When it is open, you might want to try and reset the code? With the safe unlocked and the door open, look for the rest button. It could be on the side of the door next to the hinges, or take the battery cover off. Change the batteries at the same time. Sometimes the reset is a small circle below the battery case. Press it with something small with a point until it beeps. Enter the new code and press # or B - usually the bottom right hand button. If you know all of this - apologies. Or get the locksmith to reset it. They usually use 1234. A tad obvious though.

There is always a 'factory setting' and/or a master over-ride setting on safes. They are supposed to be changed on installation. A shot in the dark but try 000000 or 123456. (Both 4 and six digit numbers)

Took me a while, but I finally worked out that they mean improved infrastructure. Mind you. I could be wrong. The nice posters on AN constantly tell me that I am. -

Pattaya halts national ID card issuance due to card shortage

You are asking questions in grey areas. Here I am talking about my experience on Koh Samui - it may be different depending upon the different local authorities. (A bit like 'local' immigration rules.) The villa is not a hotel but the local authorities change the heading from Hotel Licence to Villa Licence. The document is the same thing though. The properties are not registered as hotels but just forced to go by the same rules as hotels. eg smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, safety ring for pools etc etc. When we first applied for villa licences years ago, our company accountant said that legally, Villa Licences do not exist. So we went through an agent. Some owners used their own accountants. As they are not registered hotels, I would think that they do not pay hotel taxes. The income and taxation is down to individual owners. Our company does not get involved in the villa rentals/AirBnb. How can it be a level playing field. It would be like ice hockey players playing against a golfer. Many hotels are part of larger organisations. AirBnb properties are mostly owned by individuals.

Selective minimum wage increases in 10 provinces
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It is not that simple with hotel salaries. Staff receive extras. Some hotels here on Samui are offering cleaners up to 24,000 baht per month BUT...... That is salary plus tips (the ++ share - often 20%). Then there is usually a uniform, free meals, sometimes free transport or accommodation and so on. Then, what do you pay when bookings are down? It is not going to be 24k. -
