Let me apologize, the problem is now solved (must be my age) Several months ago, my gf opened a Bkk bank savings account in her name and only I have the web log in details. The bank book and debit card are safely lock up for which my gf has access. You might say, 'so you trust your gf' and the simple answer to that is Yes, Don't we all trust our wives and/or girlfriends? 555.

Yes of course, an 'either/or' account in both names, but is that LEGAL when one of the holders passes for the surviving holder to withdraw money?

And if you have a Thai wife with whom you are separated? That's why I asked another question in another thread, open a joint bank account ('either or') with your gf and she withdraws money in that Thai bank account on your eventual passing. Is that legal? A Thai Will is not possible due to the wife contesting it.

Yes, understand that. subject to exchange rates

Either way, you can always leave and not transfer to Thailand income in your Wise account

If say you transfer a lump sum to Wise from your Thai bank account and set up a scheduled monthly transfer to your Thai girlfriend over a period of your choosing, how would Wise know of your eventual passing?

Let's say a foreigner who is married to a Thai lady but separated, opens an "either or" account with his Thai girlfriend, can the surviving holder LEGALLY access the funds?

Play the stock market (excluding the SET) except weekends and bank holidays which keeps me occupied. Either Saturday or Sundays it's weekly shopping day. The rest of the time is another matter I infrequently post on this forum now as there are other matter more important.

Visa liberalisation measures unveiled with a DTV visa for living and working online in Thailand legally https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/05/30/visa-liberalisation-measures-unveiled-with-dtv-visa-for-living-and-working-in-thailand-legally/ Thailand’s cabinet announced new visa measures, including the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), allowing digital nomads to live and work in Thailand for up to 180 days, extendable to 360 days. Details to be released on June 1st, 2024. Tuesday’s cabinet meeting at Government House produced a number of liberal new visa initiatives aimed at attracting more foreigners to visit and live in Thailand. In particular, among the measures announced was an extended Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) aimed at digital nomads. The new visas would allow an initial stay of 180 days with a ฿10k fee. This could be extended for a further 180 days. At this time, further details on the visa are awaited on June 1st. However, the idea of allowing foreigners to live and work in Thailand online is a big departure. Furthermore, the challenge for the government will be to get it right because there certainly is a market for this across the world, particularly in Western countries.

So much discussion and there's a simple legal way around this. If you're concerned, I'm certainly not.

What if you transfer (Wise) all of your income to your wife or girlfriend’s Thai bank account and withdraw from that account as and when required, would that work? We all trust our wives and GF’s 555

Correct, but I'm talking about Cape Town where there is very little crime.

Cape Town is a great place to retire. Sightseeing is a must. Last month I travelled up to Table mountain and wow, what a view. Plenty of beaches, shops (Woolworths). Accommodation. I stayed with my brother in his villa in Somerset West. A truly great place in SA for normal and gay people.

In further non reported news, a further 1,500 intoxicated Thai motorbike riders were stopped at the same location.

What does he look like? I know, but not telling Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, received an honorary degree from the Praboromarajchanok Institute for the academic year 2023. The former Health Minister during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized for his contributions to the fields of medicine and public health. Anutin is the first politician to receive an honorary Doctorate of Public Health from the Praboromarajchanok Institute. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1793587367800144245

How ridiculous. Are tobacco products, which are more dangerous, classed as drugs? I think not.

They rushed to the scene. How many rushes have we had today?

I understand she's out on bail.

Interesting last para. Thai Enquirer The Department of Corrections Hospital has yet to release the CCTV footage from the morning when deceased political activist Netiporn "Bung" Sanesangkhom passed away, said lawyer Kritsadang Nutcharat. Her medical record, which dates back five days before she passed away on May 14, has been handed over today. Kritsadang said a team of lawyers will review the medical record before providing any further findings to the public. Regarding the CCTV footage, the hospital stated they still needed time to blur out the faces of individuals unrelated to the case. Kritsadang said he will seek more updates on when the footage can be delivered this Friday. Kritsadang said her family and friends are still questioning the CPR procedures administered to her at the Department of Corrections Hospital. This is because medical records from Thammasat University Hospital indicated that the endotracheal tube was placed in her esophagus instead of her trachea, preventing oxygen from reaching her lungs. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1792502519132025002

I don't think this would work for some members who have a Thai GF and are separated from their Thai wife living here in Thailand, otherwise as ML stated that the most sensible way to go.

The court said it did not recognise Mr Thammanat's conviction because the verdict was delivered in Australia, a foreign country. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57001674
