Using a credit card on the MRT may incur a daily fee of S$0.60 for foreign cardholders. To avoid this, consider using a prepaid transit card like the EZ-Link card.

I haven't incurred any fees. Where is this info from please?

But the safety razor and the shaving soap in this picture you bought from Siam Wet Shave 😉

On Lazada.

With Wise, can you transfer from your Thai bank account back to your US account?

Buying on an exchange is not P2P.

Binance offers P2P trading.

Just did one. 3 working days.

The pink ID works.

Take a look on Thong Nai Pan, both Lek and Yai. Google Map let you take a virtual walk on both beaches...

However, if you look for other activities than rustic bungalows, cosy restaurants and a Bounty-style beach, then you don't need to check these two bays...

What does "Bounty-style beach" mean?

Is there a list of the required documents somewhere?

Now the US is changing some tax laws so that those Americans being tax resident in foreign  countries can opt out of US taxes and just pay Thailand or whatever country they are there as a tax resident.

Do you have a source for this? Have not heard about it.

I think this would be card-dependent?

 

Some cards offer 0% foreign transaction fees, some do not. These can range up to 3%.

 

Can you share your experiences? Was your transaction posted in THB or USD/DCC?

Posted in THB. My card has no foreign transaction fee.

Each person needs their own card. Not able to pay for multiple passengers with one card.

US card works with no additional charge.  I think you can only use a card on MRT.

I guess you were still within the ten year warranty for the battery.

It wasn't clear. The car was more than ten years. I think the original owner may have purchased some kind of extended warranty, because I had to pay a deductible of several thousand.

Make sure it is not under warranty. Had a battery fail on a ten year old Prius. I had to pay several thousand baht, and Toyota covered the rest. After replacement, all is good again.

I need a skilled welder to repair a pinhole fuel tank leak. Preferably in the Chiang Mai area. Recommendations are most appreciated.

Who the hell's running this outfit anyway?

Yeah, I know about those. Should have said I am more interested in local restaurants.

Was considering The Dukes or Billy for Christmas day dinner. Any others I should be thinking about? Thanks.

Does Mexican count as 'farang food'?

 

If so La Casita in Ratvithi Road is well worth a visit. 

Tried it last night. The beef quesadilla was excellent, and the margarita was perfect.

I have a top of the line JVC integrated amp from the early '80s that needs service. Knew of a couple shops in CM years ago that worked on this type of gear. No idea if they are still around. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What is a good eSim provider for use in countries around SE Asia? Have used Airalo before, and was not happy with it.
