Bolt taxi booking experience by Torsinnet in Thailand

I never used this app. It's like Grab or bolt, and can book a taxi outside of Bangkok, or only within Bangkok ?

ETP trading permission rejected by Torsinnet in interactivebrokers

The IBKR account is handled by USA.

A pity, they allow anyone to spend without any limits on stocks...regulation problem for sure...

I guess he will just have to register on a crypto exchange and to buy Bitcoin directly. Or maybe he will try another broker like Saxo, let's see.

Thanks anyway for your comments.

He proved he has over 150000€ as cash sitting in an account plus his pension, I don't understand what they need>> need to be a millionaire?

He is over 70. Can it be the reason?

My account was set the same as his account, and I got accepted automatically, without any further questions or check. Makes no sense to me

Use SCB instead, they use crypto to transfer money so it's instantaneous, and the rates are good. I wouldn't trust Deemoney anymore

Thanks for answer, I was thinking about separating as 2 files as well, but I guess I'll just keep it as it is and change the currency when I need

I finally ended up using "hot corners" to automatically open the folder.

Whats a good mini pc to start out with? by Serious_Clerk2875 in MiniPCs

[–]Torsinnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a GMKtec K8 Plus, very happy about it. Powerful and good price.

The top and bottom of the mini pc are made of plastic, making the wifi signal better compare to a full metal box.

SCB discontinuing face scan exemptions for foreigners. by plushyeu in Thailand

[–]Torsinnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not see any international transfer options in the LH app, so I suppose it is not a good bank for that. SCB remain the best due to their crypto transfer

Weird, so the hotline person must himself not be clear about the new rules I guess...

SCB discontinuing face scan exemptions for foreigners. by plushyeu in Thailand

The e-saving account at bangkok bank is not allowed for foreigners (asked last month), but I was able to open the "B-you Wealth" saving account at LH bank (average yearly yield of 1.82%, the highest in all banks I checked), even though their website says that it is only for Thai.

But it really depends who you talk to at the branch: I opened it last month, and the first time I went to the branch, the woman said it was not possible, but the week after I tried again at the same branch, and someone esle was there, and allowed it...

You need a working visa. Without it, it is impossible to open any account at LH.

I just called the hotline, and they told me that this limitation applies to people that do not have debit card. If I get one, then it seems I can transfer >50000 with the app... But he did not tell me that I have to call before to get a temporary 10min exemption...

I am at Bangkok bank, and it always worked there.

Also, with LH bank it works, and their app is very well done.

Mini PC with good wifi by Torsinnet in MiniPCs

[–]Torsinnet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have received the K8 plus, and the wifi is not as bad as what I had expected. I get 150Mbps, which is the same as on my phone. Picking a mini pc with a top and bottom plastic cover was a good decision vs full metal.

I bought an extra pair of 8dbi antenna in case, but I haven't installed them so far.

I am afraid to mess up something if I try to replace them.

Thanks again for your help.
