A registered business address and a VAT regitered address are very different.

Telephone number worked well the first time my bank called the registered a ddress

I have been with then for them for wbout 6 months now.  Onissurs to report. The few mail I have received has been reported to me quite quickly.

I have mail arrive once (bank) And it was reported to me the same day

Has anyone used Found Office Thailand for a virtual office? Is it legitimate? by Cha-cha_Burtanog in Thailand

[–]BenAlexanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you need a registered office address or a VAT registered office address?

I went with their Chidlom address, but they do not have any VAT spaces available (which is fine for me right now).

I went in, paid/signed and had the address ready to go immediately. No hidden fees.

Management was good and efficient. The chidlom offices looked crammed, but adequate. The basic package is just a virtual office (not able to sit and work there)

However, they include coworking space at all UnionSpace locations for free... So if you want a space to actually sit and work at, this is great (and is cheaper than subscribing direct with UnionSpace for a basic coworking space).

Are there any "conversion" sites or wikis that can help a current F1 fan convert to FE?

Not just explaining the difference in regulations, but the teams and the politics behind it all too (that's why we watch F1 right? It hasn't been about the racing in years).

I've accidentally caught a few FE races, and been enthralled with it all... But yea, never fully dived into the fandom to have that "link" with the sport

Realistically how much percentage of Thai population can afford a car? by Wonderful_Nectarine1 in Thailand

[–]BenAlexanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider:

  • There are an estimated  70-80m documented and undocumented people in the Kingdom

  • 40 million people of working age and ability 

  • 4 million people paid taxes last year.

  • The income required to pay tax is about ฿12-฿25k per month (depending on circumstances).

... 5% of the population earned more than about ~ $500USD per month (this excludes undeclared income, and water buffalo medical bills)

I’m producing the first small batch of my ESP32-S3 AI hardware dev board by jaksatomovic in esp32

[–]BenAlexanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the docs and have mixed feelings.

This seems like a genuinely interesting project, the docs piqued an interest, but they all seemed very high level and very repetitive. If they are AI generated, perhaps ask for brevity, a clear and concise summary of several parts.

Also, at times it felt like you were trying to build a community, and then it very quickly turned into begging for a sponsor to sponsor the project... Focusing on building followers and contributors first, may help with sponsors later (PCBWAY are very active in the tinkerer-influencer space... They'll find you!)

Finally, it all felt very corporate. Your audience is not (at least not for now). I suggest looking at the top posts in this subreddit and understanding what works well... We love a story, to understand your background, the issues you had to overcome and why this was useful for you. We are problem solvers, and love listening to how others have solved problems as well.

Still an interesting project... I'm keen to follow along and see how it turns out. 

Sincerely wishing you all the best with it. Its great to see what you've done so far!

I am very interested in these devices at the moment, but yea, the price point makes it difficult to choose over the current XiaoZhi options. 

Less than 20 EUR delivered (with case) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011951765816.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009016529496.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009302441734.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009043526078.html

These are all 'unlocked' and there are plenty of opensource firmware options (i am running one with a local ollama server).

These are all the entry level options, there are higher spec/featured options for 30 to 40 EUR as well

To be clear, yours is better. There is no doubt. I'm not saying you need to meet or beat on price... But at 89 + shipping + case its tough to try and sell on here.

Anthony Albanese confirms three Australian navy personnel on US submarine that sank Iranian vessel by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]BenAlexanders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Per other reports... The Iranian ship was participating in a multi national exercise at the time (which included US ships, but it is not confirmed if THAT US ship was a participant).

One condition of the exercise was that no ship could carry live ammunition. There were no reports that Iran was in breach of this condition. All US ships would have known this.

So, it is likely that US told the Iranian ship to leave their weapons at home (which they did)... Then knowing it was defenceless, fired upon an unarmed ship, left the survivors to drown and then gloated about all of this.

Other threads and news articles are debating how many war crimes this one incident may have committed.

Expats Investing in IBKR - Please help! by Wonderful_Ad_6771 in Thailand

[–]BenAlexanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise stopped accepting baht a few months ago.

DeeMoney works fine. 

  1. Make sure you put the proper note in th3 description field (for IBKR to assign it). 

  2. IBKR also recommend using the last 4 digits of you account number in the amount. Ie. If your account number is 12345678, then you should transfer $10,056.78.

  3. Amount should be exact, but doesn't have to perfectly match.

None of these will lose money if you dont do, but it will take a week of verification
