KhunHeineken

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.

Yes, especially when you don't want to work, and don't have to work. Just more of Thailand becoming unfriendly to foreigners.

So? It's a public forum, and I'm always happy to alert other members to your BS.

Are the details on your account up to date? Eg. passport number.

There have been many members post about it. Here's just one from a quick Google search. https://www.expattaxthailand.com/thai-banks-crs-fatca-compliance/#:~:text=the required steps%3A-,As part of Thailand's participation in the Multilateral Competent Authority,with the Emergency Decree on "As part of Thailand’s participation in the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (MCAA CRS), financial institutions are obligated to submit certain information to the Revenue Department, Ministry of Finance, in accordance with the Emergency Decree on Exchange of Information for Compliance with International Agreements on Taxation, B.E. 2566 (2023) and related regulations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “CRS”)." Now, is the above my "opinion.?" Go on, say it is.

Don't you know I pay an agent???? I've only posted it 10 times. I couldn't care less about what's required. That's what I am paying for. I'm on the gold course. Also, guess what, leaving the the money in my home country more than pays for the agent's fees, with plenty left over. It's a no brainer. I'll ride the wave all to the shore, and then make a decision. I've been bringing in more that 65k a month for years anyway. Even then, I'll pay an agent, just so I don't have to deal with immigration.

No, not really. You are just uneducated and not forward thinking. I guess it comes with having to watch rice grow all day, every day, all week, every week, al month, every month, for all the year.

This thread is about bank accounts. Do try to keep up. Do you have an content to post about bank accounts???? What am I advising them on???? I only put forward an opinion. You only troll. You are clearly that sh*t scared of my opinions that you troll me because you need to shoot the messenger to make the massage go away for yourself. If you can't afford to live here, look at a Plan B. How does trolling me help you financial situation????

So how it it relevant on a forum for foreigners?

His girl "is different."

Some members may suggest you are scaremongering.

The next logical step will be "telco agents" to make all your sim card issues disappear. They all want their snouts in the trough.

Because they are just tourists.

Yes, Thailand thinks it's close to becoming like Singapore.

Why would you have to do that? The banks, thus the government/s, know the details of your ATM transaction anyway?

Always happy to brighten up your day.

Good post. Some people have invested so heavily in Thailand, both financially and emotionally, that they have to say Thailand is great and their life is great, otherwise, they would appear to be one of the "my girl is different" crowd. They would NEVER admit to making even one bad decision here, because they all think they are smarter than the next farang. I p*ss myself laughing when I see a foreigner try to be more "Thai" than other foreigners, as you say, more "local and integrated." You know the ones, they have Buddha tattoo, but have zero idea of the significance. It's all very interesting, when you consider that whatever long stay visa they are on gives them no more "rights" than someone on a 30 day visa exemption stamp.

So 800k goes in, and 800k goes out, from an account of a foreigner who has been living here for years, and you think the authorities have no idea why, and will treat this transactions the same way as a rice farmer from Issan who has hundreds of millions of baht flowing through their account? Too funny.

How am I incorrect when your post agrees with me????
