Like everything in Thailand, nothing is consistent. Its like the tea from one cafe to another, they are never the same.

Sport Rider's Revolut suggestion will work, but there is a 2.2% charge if you transfer into a Thai bank. IF the card is presented over the counter there is no charge and using an ATM only incurs the usual ATM charge. However, the 2.2% transfer 'could' work out cheaper than paying tax?

And when inflation increases, as is inevitable, the people will be chasing even more daily rate increases. and round and round we go, add infinitum. Some really clever people who can't see the bleedin obvious.

The real point is, will they be missed?

You get more for your money????

Yes you do, but you don't have to use FB if you don't want to.

I would suggest you look a little closer at that, it really is not what you may think!

We thought they'd never end.....

Splitting hairs to make a point? One and the same thing as far as I am concerned, But as you please!

I notice you didn't include the last line of the above, which reads as.....It is unclear at this point how this will apply to foreigners living in Thailand on a retirement visa.

All pig fed and ready to fly..

Wow! You could possibly get more out than you put in. Although come to think of it, TIT

A 50 Baht/day increase doesn't sound much, but for some of these small businesses an extra payout of 1500Baht/month can mean make or break.

If you are having problems at 75, think what it may be like if you make 80? At 82 I can still do a ten mile hike over rough country. If you do make 80 let me know, I would be interested to know how you cope.

Yes they did, but it was lies and damned lies which won the day at that time. I can say I voted against it, but a lot of good that did.

You may be right, and I am a tax payer.

Oh Come on. It looks good and presentation is everything.

True, but some try!

I notice under the avatar name it says 'Just a little Wacko!' Say no more.

If you believe drinking too much water is impossible, you will believe anything. Some people!

IF you noticed I put the word 'Believe' in inverted commas. In other words, I was not sure. However, when visiting in 2019 I questioned the drive of the taxi as to the reason for many of the cars being both left and right hand drive. His answer was that as Myanmar does not manufacture cars they import from other countries, some of which are second hand. So, I was not giving a definitive answer.

Take a look at Myanmar pre coup. They don't have a car making industry and import cars of either left or right hand drive and I 'believe' some are S/H

The IDP may not be necessary, but it sure helped me.

Yes, I did. Fortunately it was only 2 teeth on the lower right to start with. It depends on the dentists technician as to the fit. The second time was 2 teeth either side upper and the dentist was great but the dental tech required a lot more training. I refused to pay the second time, different dentist. It was eventually sorted when the dentist found another tech, a much better fitting and more comfortable. I believe dentist should keep photos of the dentures provided, it would give a better idea of what you are getting.

Just how many thirds is that?
