Keep driving.

You have no idea how a mule account works. "someone who receives large amounts of cash" describes thousands of Thai bar girls, and Thai spouses, more so now with "gifting" as a way to minimize tax. It's more complicated than an in and out 800k baht deposit / withdrawal.

Are the steel frame houses on raft slabs?

Yes, it does. Read it.

Then you would be looking in a mirror.

So have I, just not in a Thai bank. I bet my interest rate is higher than yours. You are being taken for a fool by the Thai government. My visa extension looks the exact same as yours. I'll be filing before 31st March. You are a big spender. All good here. My 800k is back in my home country, earning way more than your 800k in a Thai bank, earning a pittance. My extension is the same as yours, and I bring in more than 65k a month anyway, so can always revert to that. I had the jabs back when they were needed for freedom of travel. Haven't bothered since. An agent will file on my behalf before the 31st March. I'll be on the golf course when you are queuing at the TRD and Immigration Offices. Charlie Brown is happy, and the beauty is, the agent's costs are paid for by simply leaving my 800k in my home country, where it earns over 5%. It's a no brainer. Go on, say it, "My extension ONLY costs 1,900 baht."

You have confused the threads. I already have two Thai bank accounts. Neither one of them are "mule accounts." Obviously, because they are controlled by myself. How dumb can you be to confuse the "mule accounts" thread with the "opening accounts" thread?

Who the f**k is going to rely on "officer's discretion????? No, that's not the same. Riding without a helmet is illegal. No "if's, no but's." Simple as that. Just because a police officer choses not to fine you DOES NOT mean that riding without a helmet is legal.

Yes, it is. It circumvents the law. The next thing you will be saying is it's not illegal to ride a motorbike without a helmet, because it's up to the police office if he fines you or not.

They were your words.

Too much THC for you today.

Exactly, and it's not just Thailand. All the "dots" are being connected, globally. The member will call it scaremongering and bury his head in the sand, like an ostrich.

Thailand is an unstable, 3rd World Country.

I have Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, and Plan E. You, however, are at the mercy of the Thai government.

It's all about knowing the when, where, how, why, and who. Big Brother.

No, the golf course, while you're in a queue at immigration, and getting a pittance on your 800k in a Thai bank.

I supplied a link. You should read it. It sets out what the banks must record, retain, and report.

I posted a link and highlighted a quote within that link. It explains it all, and disproves your BS.

Well, then, how about you tell us all how banks work. Maybe everyone, all around the world, can take out money from an ATM with absolutely NO record at all of the withdrawal. I p*ss myself laughing at people who take the word "Khun" so seriously. Now, about the bank thing.

The Thai government loves foreigners like you. They say "Jump" and you ask "how high?" Financially and emotionally invested in a 3rd World Country, they have you by the b*lls. Perhaps you should try to come up with a Plan B.

Does someone using an agent for the 800k launder money? No. Does someone using an agent for the 800k defraud anyone? No? A mule account is used in conjunction with the proceeds of crime. Yes, using an agent for the 800k is a breach of the immigration laws, but those using an agent for the 800k is not what they are targeting with this policy.

Yes, it's very specific and accurate information, but hey, you just kick back, have another Leo, and continue to do NOTHING. It's all a hoax, like Covid.

Is that by choice, or is it law to build them that way if near the bush? Also, any idea on the difference in cost of timber v steel?

Oh, but member scottiejohn will say you are "scaremongering." Be afraid, be very afraid.

I thank you for following me. It's fans like you that keep me posting. I feel the love, and so does AN.
