  1. Or proof of that income from pension or similar. or a combination of these two. However.. Unless its different rules when not having Non O from abroad.
  2. No.. Actually not. It is required to punch in a thai ID to your own account. Not other accounts if you did not bring with you your ATM card. If you have the card you do not need ID. That said.. 15 years ago we could use the passport number, That is now over. I find it strange that they can not send you an sms or something or even better.. Request deposit in the bank app same way as you take out money and do the ID there.
  3. I did this a couple of months ago in phuket.. Handed over the two passports with copies of every page from both. Then it took the clerk 20 minutes to use 4 pages of my new passport to transfer all details.. Done.. And free.. I did not fill any forms.
  4. Write an email to the ombudsman in the area. He or she has to take some kind of action. However.. If anything is done or can be done is anyones guess.
  5. Never heard about that. and i have never shown one. I might be wrong if rules have changed of course.. Let me be specific. Not all go by the 800 000 rule. Some show papers guaranteeing pension for example. However. they can not possibly know why you are permittet to stay in the drive through or can they? Anyway.. Personally i have never in many years or ever been asked a bankbook. I can see they could do that if you sit down in immigration office somewhere. If i remember correctly you have to show no less than 400k after you are approved(possibly then by showing bangkbook on first 90 day report).. and 800 again from minimum 2 or 3(depending on first or second excemption) months before re applying.
  6. Although Mike is probably correct. You can wire up to 2 million baht out every day with either Bangkok bank or KBank and possibly other via app. However.. It might require a Thai VPN connection to simulate your are inside Thailand. Not sure about the pull - push thing which is probably spot on.
  7. Not sure, but i have heard the question before and checked.. I think you need an IDP attached to the driving licence no matter what country it is from. About converting it is the same.
  8. Well.. In the worst case.. check into a hotel for one night and obtain certificate from that. Tell hotel to print out the registration of address. Of course its nonsense but its within the law.
  9. In Egypt They have now found a bigger stone. at the "monoliths of minya 2000 tons.. Insane. Besides that.. They have also found a bigger stone besides "The pregnant Woman" stone buried beside it. 1224 tons.
  10. Im guessing it has more to do with Space X. Makes sense.
  11. Depend if you have an exemption visa(30 days) or a tourist visa or even better a non Im. However.. if any of the latter you do not have to leave the country. Replace bangkok from my cut and paste to phuket also. Its possible. Requirements and procedures: https://www.mfa.go.th/en/page/non-immigrant-visa-b?menu=5e1ff6f857b01e00a84023d4 Can I change tourist visa to non-B visa in Thailand? International Relations Office: Changing Visa Status. Foreigners who have been holding tourist visa coming to Thailand can notify to change from tourist visa to Non-Ed (for educational purposes), or Non-B (for working). They have to proceed their changing visa status in person at the Immigration Bereau in Bangkok.
  12. 3-400 k is totally normal and has been for many years. Here it starts on 2 mill a month. https://www.fazwaz.com/villa-for-rent/thailand/phuket?order_by=monthly_price|desc
  13. there is an app for online que.. Search DLT I think.
  14. https://www.jordanharbinger.com/frank-bourassa-the-worlds-greatest-counterfeiter-part-one/
  15. Have no idea.. But i bet if you use not google but the app for the brand of chargers there it could maybe tell that.
  16. Well.. It depends i guess where you are.. Mine is 150 meters away it says!
  17. Correct and a viable choice..Just make sure you trust the thai company..(normally the builder or the property management) does not go out of business.. Normally they do.. Not of of bankruptcy but other thing.. Like giving up .. resold or similar.. If so.. its not always granted its an easy transfer process.
  18. Taxes on the thai company has to be paid two times a year along with the accounting expenses. Maintenance should be calculated to maybe around roughly 100 000 a year.. That is for paint.. Repair of pipes.. , toilets.. , sprayers.. new tables.. revarnishing.. , oiling up doors.. , windows... Changing tiles.. etc.. It depends if you want to keep it spiffy or not. Gardeners... 2-5000 baht a month.. Pool same.. So there goes around 10k.. then a maid set you back around the same.. So then.. electric, maid, gardener, pool care, and maintenance funds... Around 50 a month or a little less hopefully.... Then there is the new land tax that is around 1-2-3% (depending on ownership and type of house, villa, hotel , business etc..) Then with a villa of this size.. Ecxpect electric pr. airconditioner to be around 1500 pr. month so with 5 airs blasting its 7500.. plus washing machines.. speakers.. tvs.. etc.. garden .., pumps.. all that.. Its easy 10k a month.. If you only use one aircondition 8 hours a night.. of course.. much less. This was a rant.. sorry about that.. , But its more or less.. Put off 200 000 for all expenses a year or a little more.. and you will be on the safe side ... Normally. Renting is cheaper.. but more expensive in the long rund since one normally gain value of the house and land over time.. However.. That is of course not a sure thing. Build and buy if you dare.. It normally comes out cheaper.. But i know people have different needs and different budgets.. and some simply dont care which is fine.. You have to weigh in your own personal requirements and needs.
  19. Of course.. of course.... 1.3 meter depth with my example is like you say bigger... equals about 52 m3
  20. correct.. Even with saltwater chlorination it is useful and if not mandatory to now and then "shock chlorinate" it a little bit now and then .. Depending on rain etc.. The weather in other words... Salt should be main source though for the chlorinator to do its work.
  21. Believe it or not. Thailand’s broadband internet speed is ranking number 1 https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2054991/thailand-tops-internet-speed-testing
