Re: Big increase in air fares

Bought one ways to BKK for wife and I. Thai airways May 20. 1335 baht each. And It's unbelievable the difference in price of around 4000 bht one way to sit up the front for the same 1-hour trip. Nobody's being forced to pay for those seats. Anyone who does either has far too much money to burn or (...

Re: British Airways returning to BKK

Another non-stop flight option for the UK coming in the autumn. Bangkok will be served out of Gatwick three days/ week. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-kuala-lumpur-bangkok-ba-b2507041.html What remains to be seen is cost.

Re: Big increase in air fares

Wow! Only 16 hours. You must be originating your flight from the West. It usually takes me 21-23 hours from Toronto with a stop in Taiwan or Hong Kong to switch airplanes on the way. I don't mind the economy flight itself as I am usually asleep before the plane takes off. In the days before my wife...

Re: Google Chrome VERY slow

BD,
With those results you show on soeed test you can be assured that problem does not lay with Chrome but with either Windows 10 and how it allocates resources or a software update done to your wifi hardware.

My only thought is to make sure system is not trying to update and set notebook wifi to metered so will not try to update. Other then that no clue without playing around with notebook.

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Back on topic... Probably the single best action expat residents could do to prepare for this controversial tax issue is to segregate home country bank accounts in such a way as to clearly show that monies sent to Thailand were taken from savings ie. funds earned prior to Jan 1st, 2024. A separate ...

Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

My rant is the 65,000 baht monthly deposit requirement for the permission to stay. Who needs that amount each month, unless you have very expensive tastes or very high rent costs.

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Maaka Guess I'm fortunate that our U S. banks do not decide about taxes, if my paltry deposits in my 3 account earn over ten dollars interest, they send me a form in January to use when doing my tax paperwork showing interest earned the prior year. Using that and other forms I get for my retirement ...

Carrying Passport

Question for long time Udon residents, do you carry your country's passport whenever you are out and about town, or only when you know will be needed. My first day out went with wife to get a Sim card for phone and had forgot it. Fortunately they accepted wife's Thai Id.

IF Uncle Joe is the nominee and IF he is elected,that would be very dangerous because Kamala the air head would likely become president. That's scary indeed. Trump would be a safer choice. Not really. There is no indication that Kamala would try to turn American democracy on its head. You can't say...

I will definitely be yelling a lot Monday morning while watching the game here at the house. Hope I don't wake up the wife's mom as she normally sleeps...
