You were not there and dont know what you are talking about.

Your assessment is BS. The driver was probably on the phone/ looking at the phone

savings acc

Dont you have to get a savings account from them as well? ie to pay the loan off?

I dont agree with your comment at all. I only have a thai pink id card for farang and I opened an account at GSB. I have a WP though. I cannot transfer above 50k bc their system cannot do this for farang The 1mill deposit protection rule doesnt apply to GSB. Go and ask them. They will tell you its unlimited. We have mega rich thai friends who say they only keep money in GSB

Yes. Normally all banks require monthly repayments from their savings acc to the loan account. What an odd ball bank

are you joking? Do you have any evidence of this?

I visited the local Tisco bank and they denied me opening an account. I have WP and my wife has an account with them. They said only Thai people can have accounts with them. I thought that was ridiculous and used google translate to say 'This bank is old fashioned and possibly xenophobic' and subsequently walked out. Still interested to know if my local branch is correct or not. thanks

can we apply directly at SCB? thanks for the link

plus the new thai tax law that everyone is talking about re foreign income.....

with what company? Any in Thailand?

My wife is interested in investing in a U.S based fund eg Vangard S&P500 ETF fund. Can Thai citizens do this? Ive read a few posts on retirement mutual funds in Thailand and they don't get good reports: thanks

yellow bank gives the performance for its funds. doesnt look so good to invest in equity mutual funds. Lots of negative returns. https://www.krungsriasset.com/EN/Fund-Performance/Past-Performance-Record.aspx

She says its tax deductable.

My wife wants to put money away to a retirement mutual fund. Theres a link to what bangkok bank offer below: https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Save-And-Invest/Mutual-Funds/Retirement-Mutual-Funds What do you think about this product? She already has an old fashioned AIA life insurance policy that she is paying 260k per year. It has the health insurance as part of the package. I think its a dumb product to pour money into but she is stubborn about this. What about the retirement mutual fund for her. Actually we both are earning high income from our business. Im mid 50s and have no retirement fund from back home. Should I be putting monthly money into this as well? We have a valuable building rented out and land x 2 that we bought (in her name. 1 land is in my daughters). But both of us do not have any retirement funds as such. Any thoughts? thanks

we built a carport with room and ensuite. PWA will connect the water without a house/ dwelling. Very easy. More complicated for electrictiy

We paid 6000 deposit to have a PEA temporary meter access. Because we dont have a tabian bahn on our land we paid 40k to put in 5 PEA poles along a soi next to our land. Then I paid for 3 more inside our land. Our electric guy moved the temporary meter box to the 5th PEA pole on that soi next to our land. So then we tried to cancel the temporary meter and install a permanent one. We told them above. They said that the meter should be on a pole thats on our land not the PEA pole on the soi. I thought that was BS. How is the monthly bill invoice supposed to be issued. Does the guy have to come on our land. Bc we dont have the tabian bahn we had to give a copy of our village chiefs id. Maybe this is the reason? It seems stupid though. Any comments are appreciated. I cannot find the electrical forum anymore on the home page.

haha real experts in google. What a joke.

No. Most comments say the front is best for new tyres. I think one or so said the rear but I cant be bothered to scroll up and count.

apart from if one pays bar fine and take a motorcycle taxi home

Champagne a go go?

please help me by providing steps. I would like to make this if its easy

Are you not concerned with eating all the sugar, salt and MSG they put in food here?

Re your first sentence.... what about when one selects 'AWD' where the hybrid battery steers the rear wheels and the petrol the front?

please give me steps for how you make it with prawns. thanks
