Any US Social security recipients out there doing direct deposits?
@Charlie D. And since you said you are using K-bank to receive your IDD payment depending on where your K-bank branch is located in Thailand there "may", repeat, may also be an "upcountry" BAHTNET fee which is in addition to the basic Bt100 BAHTNET fee. But if you K-bank branch is in Bangkok and surrounding provinces only the basic Bt100 BAHTNET fee applies. And even if your K-bank branch is not in/around Bangkok the upcountry BAHTNET fee may not apply in the case of this particular incoming US govt payment. Do the math as I described in my above post just using the Bt100 fee....if your baht payment is still a little off then crank-in the K-bank upcountry fee shown in their BAHTNET fee chart below. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/personal/services/payment/pages/bahtnet.aspx -

How do you pay?
Tourists with QR codes maybe not but When I see a Frang at Topps market I steer clear. Them what pay with their dirty bills. It is faster to line up behind a Thai woman who appears to be shopping for her family, always with a card. Faster. Not because it is necessarily, but they know what they are doing. The farnag often comes back (bellowing, claiming to be overcharged) These are the Chiang Beer vest drunk at 11 AM types, easily avoided. -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
When people mostly use cash, they can at least know how much money in their wallet/pocket. But when they rely on cashless payment all the time, they often forget it. And the promotion of online payment undoubtfully increases the risk of overspending among the people with lower Money IQ. Interesting news.

Why aren't bus seats made from flame retardant material?
How could you possibly know this? By watching demonstrations of it on news reports, that's how. -

Power of Attorney to help with NON O (married to Thai wife) renewals only
There is alternative. Put everything into wife name. Use an agent ongoing. Does not need to be in your immediate area. Obviously leave enough funds (for wife) for "last step" -

Mashco-Piro Dentistry: Anyone here conversant with state-of-the-art Mashco-Piro Dentistry?
My apologies for my forgetting one important THOUGHT in the Original Topic, which is: a. Tomorrow is a SUNDAY. b. Therefore, I do hope that those of us who will be attending Temple or Church tomorrow, Sunday... Or those who have already attended Temple, today, Saturday.... 1. Will give thanks that we are fortunate enough to be living in a Land with Excellent Dentistry. 2. If you are a Sunday Church Goer, then please give thanks tomorrow. 3. If you are a Saturday Temple Goer, then please do your best to, tomorrow, give thanks retroactively, yesterday, on Saturday. Or, if you are reading these words, at this moment, you can still give thanks on Saturday, even though you probably have already left Temple, by now. c. And, if possible, let's all say prayers for those of us who will soon be reclining on the dentist's chair, awaiting whatever is to be. d. We are a product of our genes, our environment, and the expression of our genes, which is a combination of our environment, and also our ancestors environments, historically speaking, and gene expression, which is a product of many of these things. e. We are not to blame, mostly, for the state of our dental deterioration, as we age. f. Therefore, let's all say prayers of good dental outcomes....for us all....as each of us, in turn, face our own dental crises....day by day, month by month, and decades upon decade, until...finally....there will come a day when our dental statuses will matter no more to us, but only to the worms. And, referring back to the OP, I have always been astounded that there are Peoples who are able to survive without modern dentistry, no matter how very tough this must be. Therefore, Folks, can we please give thanks, tomorrow, this Sunday? And let's try to remember all members in our prayers tomorrow, and today. Thank you. Regards Gamma -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
You fail to understand that for some (not for me) the risk of being taxed on ww income is in the Millions of USD. If I look at the Excel sheet you provided with your income and possible tax payment, frankly I would not bother to spend more then 1 hour per week in this thread, agreed. -

Thai beauty queen tricked into paying 800,000 baht for victory
We cannot cower in the face of threats of defamation. These are laws written by small men, to protect criminals, miscreants, those unwilling to offer a good product or service, and other fools. -

A Purpose for Retired Expats in Thailand
"So what’s next? What did you do, or intend to do, once the bars and the bright lights lose their appeal and the "been there, done that" feeling sets in? " That scene lost its appeal to me long before I moved to TH. Never really bothered with it here, as got that all out of my system before arriving. I did the reverse of most folks, Didn't do the family thing. Skipped that an went straight to planning the retirement, while enjoying the S, D & RR. Then retired, and did the family thing, quite unplanned, as thought I'd simply continue on enjoying myself, without doing the family thing ... ever. Turned out, the family thing, is pretty damn cool, and just as much fun & rewarding, if not more so, than the S, D & RR was. Go figure, who would have thought. Now I've been retired of all responsibilities, and this is fun also. Presently at a crossroads now, strange at near 70 yrs old, and actually thinking about playing subsistent farmer. All in, except the 4 legged livestock part. Just chickens, and just enough for eggs. Already got one lot going, and wife picked up 2 more this week. One is almost cleared, and the other, really don't need for anything. Do need a new hobby -
