Can I suggest that this is just your conclusion and not really what the linked article was suggesting. The article was talking about the potential issues to Asean as a block because of it but you appear to use this as a lead in to Immigration issues...... I have no ideas what this is supposed to mean in the context of your post? Issues to do with hordes of Chinese visitors were here pre-Covid and I would humbly suggest that had nothing to do with politics. 2+2=5 comes to mind ????

Tourists are just another foreigner. Definition is covered in the DPA site just under where it says foreigners are covered - https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/who-is-protected And before someone chimes in with that us "foreigners" are included in no 4 no we are not.

You are aware that the comment was about foreign currency accounts and nothing to do with Thai baht accounts held by foreigners?

It has not been ignored. It has been mentioned multiple times from the first page of this thread that this has been in the works for a long time - originally timetabled back in 2011........ With news articles almost every year since and more than one thread on here in the last couple of months.

read the pdf that David posted earlier in the thread or go here and have a mosey around - https://www.dpa.or.th/en/site/index and somewhere they explain how it all works. For solvency levels on individual Thai banks you need to look at other sources.

Correct

Here is a page from 2011 where it says from 2012 it was going from 50m to 1m in 2012...... http://thailawforum.com/thai-deposit-insurance-law.html I can't find the more recent updates (many on Thaivisa) showing the progression after that.

Please do as mine is due same day originally from your link believe......

Foreign Currency accounts are not covered.

I bet khun Mick is not happy..........

I think I saw something on this before but have not seen anything mentioned recently. Since the forum changes the default emoticons show to me as a broken square and the name. Is this something in the list of things still to be fixed or are they being put out to pasture?
