The Tavern on sukhumvit Soi 4 will show it.

Jing, I agree with what's been said above by El... You are doing a domestic ACH from your home bank to a bank branch in New York. The ACH you execute doesn't go any further with that. What the New York bank does beyond that is a different transaction. And, as stated, if there was some problem with the transaction, banks and/or the feds would prevent it. And indeed, BKK Bank is very upfront and public about the method, and has been for some years... It's not like it's any kind of secret. The instructions and fees are clearly listed on their web site.

As for the timing, in the U.S., it usually takes two to three business days for the trial deposits to show up in your would-be linked account. Different sending banks can be quicker or slower a bit depending on which cash transfer service they're using internally, and how fast the would-be linked bank posts incoming deposits to your account ledger. Because of the handling by the New York branch and then onward sending to Thailand, I'd probably figure 4-5 business days in total to complete the linking process... assuming you have access to BKK Bank online banking and can see/know promptly when the deposits arrive in baht.

All US government direct deposit payments to Thailand, such military or civilian retired pay, Social Security pay, Veterans Administration benefits, etc. are sent through Bangkok Bank New York. It is considered a domestic transfer because of the Bangkok Bank New York address. The funds should be available in Thailand within two working days of receipt in New York.

The return must be postmarked on or before the due date. Late filing and late payment are separate fines but as long as you meet the postmark date there is no fine. There's also the online filing option.

Don't know where you are, but Soi 11, 20, 22 (traffic light) and opposite Soi 31 (traffic light) allow u-turns to the north side of Sukhumvit. Might try at Asoke (Soi 21), but don't know if police won't ticket you.

Try HomePro. Not too long ago they had 100v, 300v and 500v available.

Hi,

I'm absolutely not one with a green thumb - my wife and our maid are. I wasn't satisfied with the Italian plum and beefsteak tomatoes I found in Bangkok supermarkets and brought in seeds for both from the US. The beefsteak seeds were totally US but the plum seeds were both from the US and from Italy. To date, we've not been able to get beyond the sprout on either. We live just past Don Muang Airport, where we first planted the seeds, and when they didn't take we planted them in Pak Chong with its higher elevation, clean air and lower temperatures. That didn't work either. My wife says it's the soil and the temperature - can't grow non Thai tomatoes in Thailand - I'm not so sure. Does anyone have any thought on that? Thanks much for any thoughts/help!

I would recommend Dr. Danaiphand Akarasakul at Bumrungrad Hospital who has treated me since July 2006. He is very competent and speaks excellent English.
