  1. I'll gladly pay one time upgrade fee to get points, but for 50/75/100k thb/year I can pay for my insurance/checkup and transportation from/to airport by myself. So no, thank you TE.
  2. I can understand why PM 2.5 and PM 10 is high, but where Ozone comes from?
  3. In other countries I will get PR status and maybe health insurance for paying taxes (you actually can't live in most countries more than 183 days without PR). What do we get in Thailand paying taxes? Not to mention the fact that we (expats) already pay VAT and foreigner prices (in hospitals for example).
  4. They can just tax everything, and do tax returns when you confirm that money is already taxed in another country (if that country have a treaty with Thailand).
  5. So, for example, if I'm a foreigner who lives in Thailand on an Elite visa. In 2024 I'm planning to buy a house or apartment there. I will transfer money from my savings abroad. And they will tax me for 35%?
  6. I was asked to show the virtual card once, showed it in the app. Registered to my flight without problems.
  7. You can see the name attached to a card in the mobile application in the card details. But the better option is to apply for a virtual card (in the same app). It is more secure because you can set separated limits for a virtual card and you can re-issue it at any moment if you feel that data is compromised.
  8. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/world/asia-pacific/20230623-118053/ But no one is asking about Chinese seafood safety...
  9. There is another way: Encrypt drives with Bitlocker with a strong password (no need to save it obviously), format drives after that, and write some big files to them (you can use CrystalDiskMark with larger file sizes possible). Almost impossible to recover any data after that.
  10. We need numbers I think, for example, 1 incident before, and 2 after is a 100% noticeable increase, but it is still only 2 incidents.
  11. They may stamp your passport with "x days overstay on public holidays", that's what I got 5 years ago in the same situation. No other penalties tho.
  12. It is simple: they open Visa or MC in Belarus and Kazakhstan (also Turkey and Georgia to a lesser extent) and then transfer money there. Or, they open a Thai bank account and transfer money thru crypto or some agents. Or even SWIFT, most russian small banks still have SWIFT working.
  13. Sunday roast @ Kai New Zealand Restaurant
  14. Been there in Dec-Jan 2018, not so cold as I remember, +12 - +16 (feels colder with humidity, but still good). Watched fireworks from Taipei 101 on NY night. Had only good memories of this country. I think Taiwan is one of the most underrated destinations for tourists in Asia.
