  1. Anyone recommend a clinic in Bangkok for Botox for men ?
  2. If an American that is getting Social Security dies, while living in Thailand would his Thai wife be entitled to the benefits ? Even though she has never lived in the states ?
  3. How many 1000's of tourists each week rent motorbikes and don't have any accidents. So one tourist has accident and all motorbikes are death wish ?
  4. If this is not the correct forum, mods, please move it, thanks. I'm buying a used vehicle from local dealer in Kanchanaburi, have placed a down deposit , and the balance due is 450000 baht. My question, what are the options for paying the dealer ? I have the funds in my Bangkok Bank account now. if I pay in cash It will take 9 days to withdraw the money, 50K limit per day. Is there another option such as transferring the whole amount to the dealer ?
  5. I had a Thai speak to them, and they sorted it all out. She handed everything. The 3 phones were I believe 400 USD total in value and I know she had to submit screen shots of the prices . I will ask her what the complete procedure was and get back to you
  6. Exact same happened to me, even same letter when 3 phones were mailed to me from the states. Had an Thai call UPS, and they gave a broker's number and I had to send a copy of my passport, and and declare a value for the phones. wasn't that hard, and really not that expensive.
  7. All cars as 1996 have OBD II. The blue connecter you are taking about is OBD !! dongle and plugs into the 16 pin OBD !! Port. If you go online, there is website that shows the location of ports in cars. With blue wireless dongle , and app download on your phone, you will be able to read the codes, and not much more. To clear the codes, and do detailed troubleshooting you will need a better scanner. I have Autel maxi scanner 608 that can do everything and even make extra FOB keys. Of course it was 3000 USD and was left over from my old job. I also have foxwell scanner new, I don't use a Autel TPMS tool as well for working on the TPMS. Where are you in Thailand ? As I don't use the Foxwell scanner if you like it I would sell to you very cheap, less than 2000 baht.
  8. I'm a US expat, I HIGHY Suggest you talk to a REAL accountant , US tax lawyer , etc , someone who KNOWS , and don't listen to the armchair. tax experts here. That is what I have done, had video chat with my US based tax accountant , and as I posted before, I'm not worried, and for me this means nothing and life will continue as normal living here in Thailand full time.
  9. As a US Citizen, you are required to file a US Federal Tax return for every tax year. As the US, and Thailand have a Tax treaty signed in 1996, you can't be double taxed. I highly suggest all US expats go to the IRS website and read the agreement. It is written in plain English and will answer all your questions. As I posted in another thread, my accountant, said there is nothing to worry about, and means nothing to you or me. The new Thai tax laws are aimed at attracting bigger businesses to the Kingdom, nothing more. Again read the tax treaty on the IRS website and if still worried talk to a tax expert, and don't listen to the all the fear mongering by the armchair lawyers and so called tax experts here. And remember, as US expat living in Thailand you are entitled to the benefits of the IRS's Foreign Earned Income exclusion. Make sure who ever is doing your taxes uses this exclusion. Saves me thousands of dollars every year.
  10. I have spoken to my accountant , a former US IRS agent and for American Expats like myself, this means nothing. As the US, and Thailand have a tax treaty and I file US taxes every year, this will not affect me in any way. I would suggest the US Expats here go to the IRS website and read the tax treaty between the states and Thailand. According to my accountant, this was done to encourage business investments in Thailand, not to nickel and dime the expats. And you know that any US expats that have more than 10K USD in Thai Baht in a Thai bank, The bank reports that to the IRS as well.
  11. Not sure about Mint Mobile , but I have T- Mobile and never had any issues while living in Thailand. In fact, I bought a new apple phone and T-Mobile set the phone up with digital sim for state side number.
  12. I took there their enduro course , and loved it. Would recommend their school as well.
  13. There is something not being told here, by her. 1, She is actress, this is her 15 minutes of fame , and chance to get her name more noticed. 2, Being a "famous " person, do you really think the Thai Police would try and shake her down for money, knowing what might happen ? 3, In all my years living in Thailand, and check points , I've never been shaken down , and I wear a real Rolex watch, and usually have expensive camera gear with me. always paid the 300 baht for no helmet. I have feeling this nothing more than publicity stunt .
  14. Going to miss this year as I will be traveling. Would love to be there. Used to race skis back in the states. Love it !! Was in region 5 and raced in the 800 class. Had 6 Polaris Pro 785's race skis.
  15. I have 4 motorcycles and truck that only I drive once every couple of months. Is there an additive available to add to the fuel to keep it fresh ? In the states we have an additive called State-bil. Looking for then same here.
