Yes, but what if someone steals the money from your account. You may have a hard time getting it back. No guarantees from Thai banks. System here is fraught with problems when money is removed. Not saying you wouldn't get your money back but... My money isn't in a bank. It is spread across multiple low risk investments and institutions. Western banks guarantee a lot more than 1 million baht on deposits. I'm glad you sleep well. I do too.

If you believe your money in a Thai bank is more secure than my investment in the West, go for it. I have more peace of mind with my investment than I have with Thai banks.

I pay 12,500 to agent that includes 1,900 to immigration. Last year my investment made 9% tax free. So my 800,000 earned 72,000. Just a bit more than the 10,400 I payed the agent. Certainly worth it for me. YMMV.

Honda Click always breaking down??? Pffft. You have got to be joking. Arguably the most reliable bike on the planet.

Maybe worth a try. Good luck.

You can get it anytime as in a year in advance and it is valid until your extension of stay expires.

Another great trip. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

I just did it again in January this year and if I'm not mistaken, the fee for the biometrics was 700 Baht. Good luck.

RIP Joe! Very sad.

Map is correct.

Cheers. Yes, I agree the 45 days has been discussed. Could you please post a link to the legislation.

Have you got an answer? The poster you refer to does not post any facts, only possibilities for scaremongering. I quote you again "If you're out of the country for more than 183 days you will be deemed as non-resident for tax purposes" Where has this legislation been proposed? There is a very specific reason why the the reverse is proposed and that is to stop all the very wealthy using it as a tax loophole.

Can you link to that proposed legislation. I was under the belief that the proposal was the reverse. People who are resident in Australia for 183 days will not be able to claim non residence for tax purposes. I am not sure the reverse is true at this stage.

Should be Rolex worth 50,000 and 5,000 baht in cash.

It may be worth trying acupuncture. I have lived with lower back pain all my life. 2 years ago I had 5 acupuncture sessions and it has made a massive difference. For the small investment it really is worth a try. May not work for everybody, but it sure did for me.

I believe the slight edge Wise has is that it is a not an international transaction so it does not attract the 200 to 500 baht international fee that XE does when the funds arrive in your account. I stand to be corrected.

I did my 90 day report last month online after entering in September without any problem. The OP says it's about 90 days. I think you need to submit at least 7 days before the 90 day limit if doing it online.

I'll take a guess and say Koh Phayam.

Wow, great views.

"The train from Bangkok is six and a half hours." The above quote from a guy on another forum who did the trip earlier this month.

I know a few guys who thought they couldn't put the condo in their name so it was put in the GF's name. ???? Think of yours as a cheap mistake.

"investments totaled 112,466 million baht" The report says 112,466 million baht or 112 billion baht.
