Re: Looking For New Tablet
I just read this thread, from the beginning, for the first time. BB, Glad you got everything sorted and the new tablet is working well. I’ll be interested to follow if the new Uk account or region settings result in the applications your looking for becoming available so you can download / install. ...

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax
3. The Forza comes in 2 models, the base model is 179,000 baht (at 2 different dealers) and the higher end model is 2,000 baht more. I was told the only difference is the high end model has Bluetooth connectivity. With the base model you can choose from between 5 colors (including the Blue color th...

Re: Bangkok Hospital Development Work
I was there last week for several days, visiting a family member. We all wondered what was being constructed so I finally asked. The hospital will be doubled in size from 60 beds to 120. The new building will include a parking garage. After thinking the cafeteria was closed down, we eventually learn...

Buying a new Forza or Xmax
I bought a Yamaha Nmax (155 cc) in 2016, it’s served me well for over 7 years and over 50,000 km but its age is showing and it’s starting to require a bit of maintenance. I mostly use it around town, with an occasional trip to Pranburi and Cha Am. I’m considering replacing it with a new Forza, or po...

Re: Thai Driving License renewal
My driving licence, the one that I obtained 5 years ago after starting this thread, expires at the end of this month. I renewed it at Pranburi last week. I believe if you renew a license the day after it expires, you receive an extra year of validity for the new license. I know I get 6 years (inste...

Any updates on this topic, maybe from someone who attended the event last Friday ?

Re: Health insurance required for all retirement visas?
I just returned from a short trip to Singapore, partly for the purpose of killing my 11 year old OA. Planning to apply for non-O tomorrow.

Re: Coin Counting Machines
About 2 years ago I took a large, un-sorted bag of coins to Bangkok Bank at Blu Port and asked that they be deposited into my account. The bank teller summoned the security guard to come help her count them. They accepted, counted and deposited all of the 1, 2, 5 and 10 baht coins. They returned all...

Re: Tickets and booking trains from Hua Hin
Thanks hhinner! That makes perfect sense. But "begins on" or "starts on 5 January" (or the day before) would make things a clearer. Also. . . does anyone know if train #40 with "second class/air con" has reserved seating? Or is it a free for all? I’m pretty sure that i...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income
I still don't believe it will be an Immigration job. Immigration are there to check on Immigration. The revenue department collect taxes. It's a bit like the bin men popping in to check your plumbing every time they collect bins. But wouldn’t this be a situation very similar to when Thailand starte...

Re: Best Bank in Hua Hin for joint accounts?
Why would anyone need a joint account? The Bangkok Bank app for example has free transfers among all Thai banks. I’m sure there are a number of reasons for having a joint account but I think a good reason is the financial security that comes with either spouse being able to access funds if the othe...

Re: Best Bank in Hua Hin for joint accounts?
My wife and I have a joint account at Bangkok Bank, we’ve never had an issue with them restricting online access on the joint account. I also have a personal account (without wife having access), a Bangkok Bank savings account that I’ve used for years to transfer funds into Thailand so I can accumul...
