Wise email asking me to update address?…
The issue is how does someone retired in Thailand work around this issue? I’m asking for advise from others who may have experienced this and how they resolved this short of moving back to the US and having a “residence”… -

What is the tipping practice in Thailand ?
Don't know many Thais do you? In 25 years I've never met one Thai who would be offended by an over generous tip😂 -

Constitutional Court Cannot Dissolve Move Forward Party, Says Leader
@spidermike007 ... it will certainly demonstrate to the nation how spectacularly corrupt, and how morally bankrupt they truly are .... Perhaps. Or its an immature democracy doing what an immature democracy does. Just when you see someone doing something in a mature, legal, logical way, they go entirely off road in a way that makes no sense. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
ATMs from Krungsri, TMB, CIMB, and Citibank all allowed 30k withdrawals using a foreign card. There are no CIMB or Citibank machines left now, and I don't know whether UOB kept that limit when they took over from Citi, but TTB definitely maintained the 30k limit on its legacy TMB machines. As of now, then, I'm only aware of Krungsri and TTB still permitting 30k pulls. Some people have posted here that they were able to get that amount from Kasikorn as well, but that was never my experience in the past - I haven't tried recently, though. -

Nostalgia for Prayut Grows as "We Miss Loong Tu" Goes Viral
You are giving moral bankruptcy, power mongering and corruption a sheen of legitimacy, which it does not have. The last election was stolen from the people, plain and simple, no rational explanation can deny this fact. -

Belgian Man Arrested for Crimes in Thailand and Malaysia
This is Thailand and he's obviously guilty of something, overstaying for starters, That was not a crime scene it was his rented room, How much privacy would you afford him if you had been one of his victims. -

Nostalgia for Prayut Grows as "We Miss Loong Tu" Goes Viral
I have removed a large number of posts that discuss execution and criticism of a member of the privy council. These posts are not only against forum rules but very close to breaking Thai LM laws by association, and that could lead to serious legal problems and suspension or ban from this site. Please, I have no wish to censor discussion, but control your emotions and stay within the law. Any further post of this nature will lead to a posting time out or more.- 1

NHRC calls for investigation into Thaksin's "VVIP" treatment
why wouldn't he get special treatment? he's a political dynasty figure in the corruption pyramid, of course he doesn't have to follow the same procedures. if thais don't like it then they have to admit the obvious truth - corruption reigns supreme no matter who is in charge -

Srettha: Prices are up, inflation continues its march, and income for many Thais who are not successful entrepreneurs, or government workers, is down. Tourism will not recover anytime soon. The quality of tourists continues to drop, the average spend is down, and occupancy rates are low. In addition, exports are down, and we have not even seen a real recession hit yet overseas. Nor has the market correction come yet. So, there is still alot of headwind that Thailand faces. So why does Thailand want to join BRICS? There’s probably a good deal of their governments playing up for their local audience. Thitinan Pongsudhirak, someone always worth listening to, argued that this “hasty and misguided move” was intended for domestic consumption, mainly because Srettha has a litany of unfulfilled promises: No progress on joining the OECD No Schengen visa-free deal No real progress on a trade deal with the European Union And major pushback on his government’s “digital wallet” and “Land Bridge” schemes. “BRICS is thus played to domestic audiences as a deliverable achievement,” Thitinan argued. Pita and Move Forward: The recent election shows that the people are both sick of being led by highly ignorant dinosaurs, with no interest in progress, and are interested in smart, young folks, who are serious, accomplished, capable of change, and interested in insuring that Thailand has a good future. Pita is exactly what this nation needs, at this point in time. However, he was too progressive, and the goons had to stop him, in the name of regression. After all, this is a man who interrupted his studies at MIT, during an MBA program at Sloan to rescue his father's rice bran oil business, Agrifood, after this fathers death. He was successful, and is paying down the 100 million baht his father borrowed to start the company. This is a serious man. Very unlike the failures before him. He then went back and finished his MBA, at one of the top business schools on the planet. He is an accomplished man, unlike all the army goons, who are only good at bossing young men around. Nothing else. Nada. Zero. Nunca. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
Most Thai banks I'm familiar with allow the accountholder to set varying maximum amounts of ATM cash that can be withdrawn PER DAY. In my experience, those options can range from very low amounts up to quite huge amounts into the hundreds of thousands of baht PER DAY. Those PER DAY withdrawal limits are separate from the physical limits that banks set for their ATM machines, which typically allow a maximum of anywhere from 25 to 30 bills PER TRANSACTION. Those machine-based per transaction limits are NOT adjustable in any way by the card holder.- 1
