  1. Not disputing the legal position but, pray tell, how will anyone find out - or care, if the beneficiary is accessing finds 'early'.
  2. I agree with the legality of the all the above. However, the OP would be wise to consider the practical situation. Jim hinted at it above - it is what happens on the ground that matters - and I have seen some horror stories. Moving money online or via an ATM is a smart move, prior to death or after.....irrespective of the legal position it is an effective way to distribute the funds - and will save costs if Probate does not need to be obtained. Remember also that dealing with an estate in Bangkok, and maybe Pattaya, can be totally different to Sisaket, Surin, Buriram etc.
  3. No way will he leave Russia.
  4. .....as did that one....
  5. To whom do you pay the tax due on your rental income?
  6. The only purpose of a foreign language drafted Will is so that the foreigner can understand it. Far better to draft something in your own language then have it translated into Thai for execution/witnessing.
  7. Not sure which office that was but Jomtien would not touch it without the bank letter/statements. In fairness the bank book is of little use unless it is updated regularly - if there are consolidated entries you certainly could not identify transactions.
  8. Looks a better quality than the navy training base - although the style is similar. I would guess Sattahip - or into Rayong.
  9. For selfish reasons I hope you are right.
  10. Intra-day transactions are only subtotals and it is the end of day balance that matters - at least by all international standards. I fully accept that anything like this can give the opportunity for an IO to create an issue.
  11. Try the Kamagra soluble (7 tablets in a tube). I did, and switched from Cialis. I pay 200 Baht a tube.
  12. Honesty is a matter of scale in Thailand - he just did it better (and bigger) than most.
  13. Motocy is not a truck - even that is a faff with covering your headlights and having no insurance.
  14. A border that I would avoid at all costs; I hate it Nonetheless, the answers are yes and no. Yes, you need a visa and I recommend getting an evisa online. No to the truck
  15. You might need to change your user name to Scotland the Scared ????. Last year I reported 2 weeks early, this year I didn't bother at all.
  16. Your account did not drop below 400k. The end of day balance is the only one that appears on bank statements.
  17. That sums it up. He was just PM, not leader of the country - although his ego would suggest otherwise. Like Eric Thai, I am no fan boy of the current regime but I don't want Thaksin back.
  18. +1 As unfair as it is, it is the only practical solution.
  19. In reality, none. They are both drawn on the bank
  20. Of course there is...... Thaksin bought most of it - and is still paying for it.
  21. Just correcting a couple of the positives:- 1. Living Wills do exists and, AFAIK are perfectly legal - but Thais are not that familiar with them. 4. It won't. Under Thai rules of intestacy she only automatically qualifies for half....there other classes of beneficiary.
  22. Eating rat and snake curry is popular amongst the locals near me..........doesn't make it good.
