Anyone use a POD (pay on death) form with their Thai bank?
They might offer it but I can tell you as an executor of a Thai will the bank refused to hand over any monies even though I was in possession of the death certificate and will which was in both Thai and English . I was informed the only way to have monies refunded to the deceased estate was via the courts / lawyers which is not only expensive but is exhausting . I now have given my NOK my card details in order that they can withdraw monies from my account when I’ve gone, the lawyer advised me to do this apparently it’s common practice in Thailand

I can confirm trying to get money from a deceased bank account in Thailand is an absolute nightmare even if like me you are named in the Thai will as the executer of the deceased estate lawyers have to be used along with the court’s approval which becomes expensive

Scottish holidaymaker’s scooter disaster in Koh Pha Ngan
In Thailand only the rider is covered not the passenger and the basic Thai insurance is not worth the paper it’s written on that’s why I always took out 1st class insurance on top of the compulsory Thai insurance to protect both myself and any passengers due to my age I now drive a car but I stick with the same principle of having 1st class insurance on top of that most new cars now have an inboard camera so if someone hits you at least you have the evidence to see who is at fault a lot of Thais drink from morning to night so if your ever involved in an accident call the police and tell them you have an onboard camera so if your not at fault the camera will prove it

Scottish holidaymaker’s scooter disaster in Koh Pha Ngan
Here on Phangan we call it the Koh Phangan Tattoo it’s a daily occurrence tourists arrive on the island having never ridden a motor scooter in there life nor do they have a license so no insurance company is going to cover them should they have an accident most don’t bother to wear a helmet and ride around bare chested or in the case of a female in a bikini top ! On top of this we are in the rainy season which makes the roads more unsafe I don’t understand why he had to pay the other rider compensation when the article seems to blame the other person were the tourist police called ?
