From Google Search - "AI Overview Thai authorities are focusing their efforts on regulating online gold trading platforms and their associated foreign exchange flows, rather than imposing limits on traditional over-the-counter (OTC) cash transactions at physical gold shops. Officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Thailand (BOT) have specifically stated that new measures will not negatively impact small-scale buyers or regular gold shop customers. Key Details on New Regulations The measures being implemented are primarily aimed at large-scale, speculative online trading that has been identified as a factor in the baht's recent appreciation. Focus on Online Trading: The proposed changes, which include transaction caps (e.g., potentially limiting individual daily trading to 100-200 million baht) and potential taxes, are directed at online platforms and high-volume, short-term speculation. OTC Gold Shops Unaffected: The government has made it clear these rules do not concern regular gold shops like Hua Seng Heng and aim to avoid disrupting traditional business. Increased Scrutiny: The BOT is expanding its authority to better supervise online gold trading and requiring major traders (with an average annual turnover of at least 10 billion baht) to report transaction data to improve transparency. Encouraging USD Trading: The central bank is encouraging large traders to conduct gold transactions in US dollars to reduce the impact on the baht's volatility, a proposal major firms have agreed to in principle. Documentation Requirements: Banks are now required to conduct more detailed verification and source documentation for large foreign currency inflows related to gold trades, particularly for transactions over $200,000, to prevent "grey capital" or abnormal flows. In summary, your ability to trade cash for gold at a physical shop like Hua Seng Heng over-the-counter should remain unaffected by these new government and central bank measures, which target online speculation and large-scale currency flows.

Gold might not be soaring, but silver is. Today (December 26, 2025) silver is up about 8% to $77.76/oz; I bought a 1 kg bar in mid-October, when spot silver was around $50/oz. The price of spot silver began 2025 at approximately $28.92 per ounce. That puts silver up around 169% this year so far. You can check my math. I don't like the huge spread and 7% VAT on silver purchases, but it's better than getting less than 1% annually at a Thai bank. It's shiny and I like the way it feels in my hand.

I've got news for you. As soon as you deposit money in a bank, it's no longer your money. You have lent the money to the bank, and you are an unsecured creditor. If the bank fails, you have to get in line behind the secured creditors. And i wouldn't depend too much on the ฿1 million government guarantee. It's just like the FDIC sticker on U.S. banks' windows. As of the third quarter of 2025, the FDIC had $150.1 billion in its reserve fund, known as the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The fund's reserve ratio (fund balance as a percentage of insured deposits) was 1.40%, which is above the statutory minimum of 1.35%. (source- Google Search AI Overview)

Pacino was 83 years old in 1983?

When my VISA credit card expired at the beginning of this year, my bank sent the replacement card to Tajikistan! I only found out because I called them to find out what was the delay in my receiving the replacement card. Then, they charged me $US20 for expedited delivery of a new card!

I have the same problem with Form SSA-7162 from the United States Social Security Administration (to verify continued eligibility for Social Security benefits if you live outside the United States). I can do my Federal Income Tax online, but not this form. I return the completed form by registered mail every year, which is kind of pricey. When I call the Social Security office to ask if they've received the form, they tell me they have no way of finding out. What a lousy system!
