    Any recommendations for which bank is likely to accept a single man opening a new bank account (no yellow book) has 2 year rental contract, also how safe are the mobile apps?. Thank you

    I am more prepaid than most people. For the last 20 years I have filled in a UK Self Assessment for myself and the wife, all I need to do is produce the results of this

    It matters because they also said they won't issue a statement, I have to go to my branch, which is 200 kms away. I have been trying to find where it says how to manage your 800,000, so I appreciate that information regarding keeping it in the account for 3 months

    I have a bit of a problem. I have just moved provinces (old province 200 Kms away). Krungsi will not update my change of address, refuse point blank, SCB no problem, already done. Do I close down my Krungsi and put in my SCB account? If immigration ask me to show after 3 months it will no longer be there but in SCB. When could I do this?

    North or South? I personally think the north is more friendly

    Many years ago, my wife and I visited Bangkok, she was talking to a Thai lady for a few minutes, after she had gone I asked what they were talking about, her reply was I couldn't understand what she was saying. The reason being it had been many years since she had visited Bangkok, staying NE Issaan was a different dialect

    Maybe you are living in the wrong area of Thailand?

    After living permanently 12 years, nothing surprises me

    Different regions speak different dialect, ie Thai, Issaan, Laos and quite likely the deeper South

    I fill a UK self assessment in every year. HRMC sends me a detailed statement for each Tax Year. If it comes down to it, I will just produce that to the Thai tax department, if they want to dispute this that is up to them because it will be them who are calling HMRC liars not me

    Does that mean if you have a house (in my case the UK) in the said state, you are not liable for tax? Although I live in Thailand UK is my Domain

    Age is the biggest negative regarding finding employment, that goes for Thailand also, only Thailand's starts earlier (35 years approx)

    There has been quite a lot of rain in NE Issaan, plenty of water in the rivers

    I can only speak about England but it is probably true in other countries also, in that it is the vast majority of cases are from the inner cities, certainly not from my home town

    I do not live in Pattaya but if I want a breakfast then you can't go wrong with Kungs on Soi Lengkee
