I maintain a UK address. I have several cards but only use my Halifax 'clarity' card in Thai.

For purchases, no charges & 0% MasterCard rate. ie. no loading.

When I must use an ATM, rarely, I only pay the 180 B Thai bank charge. I refuse their conversion as my card's is always better.

I did not tell my bank I was going to be in Thai for 5 years, when I mentioned to a tel. clerk my travel plans she advised do so in the future.

I only have accounts in 1 Thai bank, because I can operate my banking & credit cards online easily.

If you have a UK address you may wish to have a decko at above.

If you open 'money saving expert , com they provide all UK comparisons.

By social group I mean people with whom I can discuss any topics of common interest.

Where to find & how to get whatever, current affairs, entertainment etc.

I'm back in Thai in a month, I'll certainly check in at Aussie rules. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'll try Aussie Rules.

Any further ideas welcome!

Thanks for reply.

I had a title; English speaking social group.

So I'm looking for English speaking company, I have many Thai friends but my Thai language is very limited,

as is the scope of conversation. Thanks, Alan
