I am in the process of claiming SSA benefits and downloaded the following form (Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form, Thailand), and it requests 'my Financial Institution' to fill out 'Section 3'.

https://www.ssa.gov/forms/SSA-1199-OP107.pdf 

There is no mention of any specific 'Bank' (financial institution), does that mean that I am free to use any account/any bank...?

Does anybody know...?

Thanks in advance.

Nobody needs this stuff, pay attention...

Hi OneMoreFarang. Thanks.

Mine is just a small little cube that the USA website says is a

'5W USB Power Adapter'. Will look for something from some of the electronic stores.

I just purchased an Xs in the USA (110v) and want to know if charging it in Thailand with local 220v has any potential to damage the phone...?

Cheers

Shouldn't there be some sort of 'literacy prerequisite' to participation on the Thai Visa Forum...?

Leave BRITISH retail out of the equation...20 years behind the USA. Bring in TRADER JOE"S...!

That's retail...!

This is not just a 'one-off' occurrence. The daily news is loaded with a constant bombardment regularly occurring mindlessness.

Truth be told...the greatest part about living in Thailand (from an anthropological point of view) is that you get to witness first-hand how people lived, thought, and acted 5000 years ago.

Stating the obvious...grand government collusion. They not only knew her intentions, they aided her in her efforts.

Egg on the face of the junta, headlines in the international press... 

 

My word, I am in awe of the way they have gamed the junta on this one. 

 

On the contrary, the powers that be have allowed for this to happen. 

Thai officials are saying she departed two days ago.

There are many (long-time practicing) 'highly-intelligent top-notch farang lawyers in Bangkok. Contact your Chamber of Commerce.

I can't wait for this to catch on big-time all over the country...

My Thai wife's family would like to invest approximately $100.000 in a rental property (condo/apartment/house) in the US.

What states/cities/towns would you suggest with the greatest potential for growth and potentially a 'break-even' ROI...?

I do not know if I am in the right place, but my Thai wifes' family would like to invest in the neighborhood of $100,000. in a US property with at least a break-even rental return.

What state or region do you recommend? My personal preference is for the 'west' as opposed to the 'east'.

What say you veterans of US servitude...?

I am aware of 'teak' being termite resistant, but that would be very expensive to have a solid teak bedroom set.

We have discovered that my daughters complete bedroom set is infested with termites. It was a expensive set (Klasse) made with laminated particle board...what a mistake.

I have decided that I want everything in 'metal'....metal bed frame...metal wardrobe...metal vanity.

Who in Thailand sells such furniture?

Any other suggestions would also be welcome.

Seriously thought that was in reference to the 'British Isles'

Thanks Dan!

Barack Obama, ASEAN Summit, Rancho Mirage, California…addressing the ridiculous subject of LM without mentioning any specific country:

"Across the region, we’ll continue to stand with citizens and civil society and defend their freedom of speech, of assembly and of the press. No one, including those in political opposition, should ever be detained or imprisoned simply for speaking their mind. That only stymies progress, only makes it harder for countries to truly thrive and prosper."

Echoing the speech given by the US Ambassador to Thailand recently.
