Try looking at opening an offshore bank account, this is a reason to use one. Singapore used to have a Citibank account for expats or Lloyd’s bank in Jersey, also HSBC offshore. Once you have the account you can open a brokerage account either via the bank or use an independent one. Within Thailand you might be able to open a kasikorn cyber account to invest in funds and stocks but the interface isn’t very advanced compared to international and offshore brokerage accounts like for example Saxobank trading account Singapore. Gold was mentioned in the thread which in Thailand is a good idea also. I wouldn’t keep all of your money in Thai baht as it’s subject to currency fluctuations and there are unique risks in Thailand (for example from memory I remember hearing about disappearing money in bank accounts?).. Even if you plan to live the rest of your life in Thailand it’s a good idea to keep options open with finances especially until you learn the ropes and understand any risks to keeping all your money in Thailand in one currency. I believe there also used to be a multi currency account available at Bangkok bank but I’m not 100% sure- I would definitely look at an offshore account to store and grow some funds whilst transferring money into Thailand in tranches as required. All the best

donot worry my old comrad ruskki.. ..same same but different! 😏

stakeholder capitalism https://Yellow.forum

watch the yellow forum. It’s happening now.

the Uk and eu is socialist and leaning more towards communism/marxism more and more. It seems there are naive people in this forum or bad actors from countries wanting to see the fall of the west. I used to watch the social media propaganda too but I was wrong about trump. There’s no other explanation to what is happening. Trump and his team are the last stand against the downfall of the west.

Then fix the corrupt communist states of Europe , Uk and the west.

The op makes many assumptions and is showing naivety. Too many to mention here, only time and experience can help.

No they are not. The western media might portray it that way.because of the red light districts. In fact as a country the Thais are the opposite to promiscuous. You’ll learn this if you ever get to know the real Thailand and not just the sexpat tourist Thailand.

Just let us all know when you decide to go away for your dirty weekend away from your missus Bob. Were all looking forward to that dirty weekend you go away from your missus. As the lords book says ‘though shall reap what though sews’ it can work both ways, ahem. 👍🤠

This would have been the ideal visa for myself and many like me years ago, instead the options were to either setup costly Thai companies or live in legal limbo. It’s a little late now many entrepreneurs and big spenders had enough and moved away under prayut’s reign.

you’ve just summarized the entire planet

I agree your girlfriend is non stop 🤠

Whoever controls the money, controls the world. I’m all for keeping cash alive!

It should be ok but check with the airline to be sure. it’s usually flying to some countries you’re not a citizen off that requires 6 months validity.
