there was something going on the cut through between 102-94 early evening yesterday by the fitness machines at the triangle, I didn't get a good look, but a lot of people around and flashing lights (couldn't tell for sure, but most likely ambulance), is this the same place? That was just a wedding ...

Tops overcharged me for an item, and my experience was nothing like yours. They voided the sale, asked me to take all items out of the bags and reran the whole lot through the till with an applied discount so I'd get the correct price on the wrong item. Extremely annoying. I get better service in Te...

I said the officer at Bluport said I could report 2 weeks early or 1 week late. This guy said no, must pay fine. Maybe the man wanted a bribe. Definitely sounds like you bribed him, sort of unknowingly. You can certainly do 90 days reports up to a week later than the date. Did you get a receipt for...

Don’t need to take a taxi from DMK to bus station Mochit 2. There is a shuttle bus (A1) running from DMK Gate 6 to Mochit 2. Absolutely right. The shuttle bus is 30 baht and it uses the tollway, so it's relatively fast, and you won't need to queue up for a taxi. Get off at the very last stop, Mochi...

If you stay in a hotel, the owner will do it. That's about tourists. You said "If you go to Bangkok, Phuket or Ch.Mai, they cannot know that you traveled", implying that travel within Thailand won't change your TM30 status. As I explained, that is not true for hotel stays (and some condo ...

If you go to Bangkok, Phuket or Ch.Mai, they cannot know that you traveled and when you came back, that's different if you were abroad. They certainly can if you stay in hotels. That's the reason hotels ask for your passport. Hotels have a website where they must report your stay to immigration (ba...

That sounds like a pretty high risk investment, for that kind of return. What do you invest in?

Most recent I know of was end of 2017, less than a year ago. Schwab are still very much accepting online applications - see here.

Every source I've read said you must be in the US to open an account. IIRC you also need a current proof of address such as a utility bill. You're reading the wrong sources then... You can open a Schwab account online on their website. You will need to enter a US address, but no proof will be requi...

When I had to transfer my visa at Ranong it was free and no copies of anything required.

Here's a fun little exercise - the cost of transferring 15K baht NET today: Bank Transfer - wire (takes 2-3 business days): $492.71 (BKKB rate ฿33.14 + $25 <cheap> outgoing fee + ฿500 incoming fee) ACH (while it still works - takes 2-3 business days): $467.71 (BKKB rate ฿33.14 + ฿500 incoming fee, n...

I transfer twice a year so It costs me $70 for a years expenses. I've not found a better rate. You have. The rate is $0 and the way to get it is explained above, just scroll up. $35 is a terrible rate, plus you forgot the 500 baht charged for incoming wires and charges for correspondent banks, whic...

Withdraw money using an ATM with the Schwab debit card. All ATM fees are refunded at the end of the month. Agreed 100%. That is the cheapest and fastest way to move money to Thailand. Limited to $1000/day, but that should be good enough for most use cases. Make sure to also get a good credit card w...
