Thailand offers visa-free travel to Russian visitors for 3 months
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well everyone else from around the world is at it so who really cares? They reckon they need more people. Also it's not my problem, they have border force who can sort out the miscreants. -

No they don't but perhaps they should do so. -
Illegal Thai Workers Protest in South Korea, Draw Criticism Online

Yes, of course, if you need 40 TB then you can get it for a reasonable price unless your need isn't really a need. Just setup a RAID6 array with a bunch of 20+ TB drives and you have redundancy as well - that is my preferred config on a proper server and it can be done at home. I did notice the price of these high end enterprise class drives was rising months back. I doubt it's got much to do with AI.

Thailand to block unlicensed Crypto Exchanges
ukrules replied to CharlieH's topic in Cryptocurrency News
There's your solution - withdraw it and use a local exchange. I'm sure they have Bitcoin exchanges, if you must trade the absolute sh@t they have on Binance then do so and move the Bitcoin from there assuming Binance continue to allow to use it. Remember, a 'ban' in any country will generally just cut off the banking system from sending and perhaps receiving wires from Binance but you can still normally use it. If you can't even use it then there are others. -

Thailand to block unlicensed Crypto Exchanges
ukrules replied to CharlieH's topic in Cryptocurrency News
What are we talking here? Unlicensed Thai exchanges or the major foreign exchanges like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Crypto.com and Kraken? -
bt800,000 Intl. Transfer
ukrules replied to Jaymatheson's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I would just do a SWIFT transfer unless you already have a 'wise' account setup and ready to go. -
Sounds like an attempted murder to me (so far, may turn into a murder) - highly unlikely this was some kind of random attack. Who is the German, obviously they know a lot more than has been released.

Yes, it's no different to any other income, they had plans to make it different but for one reason or another they all seem to have been abandoned. I think it would help to have a reduced capital gains tax for crypto but the plans for that have long gone. They're not taxing anything realised and remitted during non resident years, crypto or not.

That page is full of nonsense and years out of date information. It begins with this That's wrong as it's been discontinued as has the VAT exemption between certain dates, it was cancelled completely. It's hard to find any sources on this because people aren't talking about it much but the occasional announcement comes out that some government ministry has scrapped the VAT completely and the withholding tax. It's probably more widely reported in the Thai language media than English language which is why it's hard to find this information. There was also some talk of a 15% capital gain tax on crypto earnings, supposedly instead of income tax on the gains but that's also complete nonsense (not mentioned on that page), it's normal PIT rates all the way which can go to 35%.

Ask yourself, if anyone ever makes an accusation against you like this one but without video evidence, just eyewitnesses, would you expect to get thrown out of the country and banned for life? Lets just assume that in this case you didn't do it, but someone wanted rid of you and their friends are backing them up. It's getting very easy to have any foreigner removed from the country these days. That is dangerous, some of us have lived here for decades.

Bangkok bus passengers rally to save man’s life during seizure
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
There's so many red flags in this article it's kind of hard to process it. Some people have seizures every day, sometimes multiple times each day, especially if they decide not to take their medication for one reason or another. I can understand that those around them are scared but for the person who suffers from epilepsy / whatever it is that causes the seizures it's a day to day thing. They don't need massaging or their chest pumping, those morons could have killed the poor guy. Had they left him alone he may well have been ok after a bried period of recovery. I had a friend who used to fall to the ground and bounce around for a minute or two every now and again while having a few beers, he had epilepsy, he just told us in advance that there's no need to do anything when it happens apart from make sure he doesn't bang his head into a wall while he's seizing...... -
The baffling 27 years of Richard Burrows, aka. ‘Peter Smith’
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I wonder if he went back to the UK multiple times over the years. This is not about a stolen passport, he assumed the identity of the real guy named 'Peter Smith', once he did that it would have been plain sailing for him unless the original guy noticed. Had the real Peter Smith at any point attempted to get a passport back in the UK then his number would have been up immediately, perhaps this is how they got him as they were ready and waiting for him on arrival. There's still one piece of the puzzle missing though - how did they know this particular guy was the same on who did a runner all those years ago? -
Opinion: Google’s AI blunder over images reveals a much bigger problem

It wasn't an error, it was deliberate. We just don't know why they chose to do it -
I know there's a Kasikorn Bank in Cambodia and they have a branch at "67-69, Preah Monivong Boulevard, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh" I did a 'Google Earth' search and it came up with this - it sure looks like a regular retail bank : What I'm wondering is if I can access the funds in my Kasikorn savings account at this branch in Phnom Penh so I don't need to carry around a massive wad of cash when I go there to rent an apartment or house in May. Once I'm established down there I'll open up a Cambodian account one way or another but initially it would be nice to have an existing bank that I can use that's Thai. Now I use Kasikorn but it doesn't need to be Kasikorn, as I'm here in Thailand I can easily pop down to the mall and open an account up with any bank in there But I'm specifically looking for a bank that makes things easy for you when you're in Cambodia. Does anyone have any experience using Thai bank accounts while in Cambodia, it's just a basic savings account that I have at the moment. For example, maybe Bangkok bank would be better in this respect or a different account type. I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences whilst in Cambodia about accessing their accounts in Thailand at Thai banks.

Large Quantity of E-Cigarettes Near Schools Seized
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
If they really want to get rid of this trade they should classify the main ingredient in the 'juices' as a narcotic. Making propylene glycol highly illegal would really make Thailand stand out on the world stage and demonstrate levels of forward thinking, planning and high intelligence rarely seen in the world. 😁 -
