This is about the attempted cover up which he is complicit in. It says he has further charges pending perhaps murder or accessory to murder is one of them (I hope)

i missed that one... but me too and more, hopefully. i hate how cheap life is here and that you can buy your way out

800000× 0.016= 12800 minus tax.

If your happy that's good.

its all good jack. thanks for giving me options. why i dont worry is because the house is paid for, the cars are paid for, no worries about health insurance i have thai social security and we like to stay home so no need for a budget to travel. i have a small income every month and my better half works. so we dont need much in terms of interest and frankly i am dumb in this line... the 800 can stay in the bank until i die then better 1/2 can enjoy 👻

I thought that you were looking for an alternative to your present bank with an account that would pay a better rate of interest than you are getting now.   What is your present bank and how much interest are you earning?  Your question didn’t seem to about “just visas.”

a bit of both...

1. will immi accept a fixed interest account? --> yes

2. can i get better interest than now? --> yes

present bank bkk bank     old interest  .046%       new interest  1.6%

we went to bkk bank, next to krung thai and finally to scb. scb gave the best interest on fixed term account for 1 year at 1.7%. we went to immigration to ask if a fixed term bank account is acceptable and we were told yes by the lady that does the extensions [in maptaput, rayong].

we got the immi letter to open an account for 500bht. i chose bkk bank at 1.6%interest rate cos i have an account in pattaya with my 800 000bht and it is easier to transfer my money this way. now i will get 128000bht in interest minus 15% annual tax rather than 3200bht a year minus tax.

i am aware there are ways to make more money on 800 000bht but this is practical and convenient for me. immi letter dept was a bit busy, but all done by 15 30. thanks to @KhunBENQ for info and everyone else. 

the foto has been zoomed in considerably. this is one of those nasty little bugs that gather on the underleaf of plants. they congregate by the dozens and they look like white goop. nothing mysterious here... just 4got the name

So now on extensions based on marriage. 

What method are you using for extensions. 

Money in bank or income method.

thanks for the info on 'super fund/shares'. my query is purely about visas. i rather have all the funds in one bank account that i dont touch in case i need to switch back to retirement extension. i understand there are better ways to earn interest and my choice may seem inconceivable, but for me it works. 

btw i use money in bank method... should have stated...

thanks...

The usual "Fixed Deposit" on the other hand does.

what interest rate are you getting? and do you find bkk bank offers the best service/interest... did you shop around?

3 minutes ago, DrJack54 said:

OP, why are you mentioning 800k.

This is for extensions based on retirement. 

If you are changing to based on marriage then make that clear.

i am on marriage now and have had the 800000 for a while as i was on retirement. i dont need to touch this money, it can sleep and get interest no matter how pitiful. but i do want the best interest. if i can go from 2500 to 25000... that would be great

Just a caution that money must be in account at required level for required time each year.  You say 800k in account which would be for retirement extension requirement but that you will be extending for 400k marriage.  Be sure you have the 400k in account for 2 months before next application for extension of stay (moving funds can be an issue at times - you are aware that for marriage you only require the 400k in bank for about 3 months each year)?

yes, i know 800000for retirement. i used to be on a retirement extension now am on marriage. i simply havent used any of the money, nor do i plan to. as i saId b4 i want more interest. 2500bht a year is ridiculous and the bank acts as if i should be grateful.

thx lopburi3

It's about the account type.

The balance shown must be available for full withdraw at any time (no penalty).

Some account types with higher interest might not fulfill this condition.

The usual "Fixed Deposit" on the other hand does.

 

I am not aware of any Thai banks not allowed.

(all banks in the country are registered under Thai law whatever foreign name they have.

 

so, The usual "Fixed Deposit" on the other hand does

no worries with a fixed deposit?  great

thanks KhunBENQ

I have 800 000 bht and i have been getting crap interest for the last 4 years. i read here not too long ago of about someone who is going to  transfer his money to krung thai, or scb being that they pay better interest. My question is, 'when time come to extend my marriage visa will any bank account do for proof of funds?'

Are there restrictions on the kinds of bank accounts one can use?

thanks ahead

This works really well. Taste is ok and it is ginseng based. Can get at 7/11 dirt cheap. A tablespoon before bed when needed. Don't over do it... as with anything good, too much undoes the good

Just out of curiosity, I hope the catheter is new, or that you insisted on they using a new one... you can get mighty sick trying to get healthy...

The network for Shaping the Future of Thai Cannabis previously petitioned the Thai Ministry of Public Health to publicize factual comparisons between marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes, and amphetamines with scientific information on these four categories to determine control measures accordingly, remarked Prasitchai.

This is the smartest request made. However the gvt biggots prolly fear the results if this research were conducted. Meth ok?

Political maturity has nothing to do with the usurping of the democratic process which saw their rightful place to govern denied by the military.

sorry to disagree, but strategising is a sign of political maturity. going after 112 so early, even b4 pita was elected as pm, in this country was immature and cost them everything. i hope they learn from this. if you hail someone who plays chess and reveals his strategies then you are backing a pony that will never win. they got outmaneuvered is the only thing i see.

. It's sad that any mention of 112 reform is now being legitimised to be a move against the Constitutional Monarchy itself.

One thing i did not like about the mfp at first was its political immaturity. As it grows and wisens as a party lets hope they dont make the same mistakes and stick it to puke thai so then guys like @Shoeless Joe can read'em and weep. Must be touhg being shoeless and clueless 🤔
