Thanks for the information. Hope to see you the next time I am in Pattaya. I hope the comedians and resident trolls here don't succeed in destroying the thread.

Good luck getting a room or finding a parking place. But don't worry the floods are north of Pattaya. Anyone on this board in Pattya?

Hello Handsome, Please wire $200,000 to my Nigerian account.

You can also send it using the Thai postal service. It may take a few days longer. Not sure of the price difference.

Using the rent vs own calculator at Yahoo http://realestate.yahoo.com/calculators/ And playing with different input numbers can be a very enlightening exercise. You can use it in reverse by putting in realistic numbers to see how much rent you would need to break even by renting it out. You can't put in exchange rate changes. haha

I can take the SIM card out of the edge device and put it in my phone. I do this when I want to add credits. When I use the USB device it acts like a modem and has a userid and a number that it calls. I just don't know what that ID is or what number it calls. I want to have the option of using my fancy Nokia phone instead of the stupid Edge device.

I have the edge modem that you plug into a USB port but I would like to use my cell phone instead taking the sim card out and puting in my phone. I have a problem as I have no idea what the number is to call and what my userid is. It was done for me by the guy I bought it from at Tucom. Could you tell me how to do it?

The three month report to immigration on a retirement visa is quick and easy. Taxis are cheap in THailand and can be found easily to take you to immigration if it is in the same city. A little harder if you have to travel but travel is one of the best bargains in Thailand. Find an English speaking Thai girl to assist you if you are old and feeble.

Thanks for the info.

!!! Is that a real answer to the question?

Has anyone cashed a personal check at a Thai bank? I have a U.S. bank checking account and it would sure be easier then using an ATM or making a wire transfer.

If you buy stocks you can buy the FXA etf which invests in the Australian dollar. Interest is paid as dividends.
