Whether you believe or not believe in a god or some sort of theory. The question is why does it matter? 

The YOU will not even know that YOU are dead. So why ask a dead questions? We are nothing more than products of society nothing more nothing less.......

The story would match what he had posted on his fb page however, why kill many people who had nothing to do with being rich or cheating people? I always say when something happens money in the end is always the motive.

This is a world issue not an ethnicity/race/color/etc. 

I have been in and around here (not a tourists) and while he speaks about eastern people the same can be said about their own people as I see many not wearing or taking concern about these issues. When me and the wife go out I notice many people look at us wearing masks outside like their is something wrong. So, the issue starts with awareness and educating the public. There has been countless mis-information on social media and main stream news mainly caused by the west. Kicking out people from a country solves nothing.

Ask the bank manager if the account supports standing orders. These are not used much in Thailand, but they do exist.

Will do ????

I guess you missed the fact that he has a special account for direct deposits that requires him to do all transactions in person (no ATM/Debit card or online banking).

Yes, that is or was the issue

Whats wrong with using the Bangkok bank debit card and phone banking?

Well the issue is the way the account is set up as the bank does not allow that account access to a card or online as it makes you have to go to the bank in person which normally is not really an issue till now where we will start going back and forth to USA and need to be able to move the money to pay bills without going to the bank in person and need the online access as we can move money via the phones

Thank you everyone for the input as the concern was being out of the country and not having any access to it ????

I have the same account at Bangkok Bank. My planning for any trips would be to leave shortly after the 3rd of the month and return around the 3rd of the next month. But I doubt it would much more than a couple of weeks.

If your are regularly using the same bank branch you might be able to arrange with them to allow somebody to initiate the transfer to your other account. Just complete the forms sign them and attach a copy of your passport to them.

Was going to do that and talk to the manager of the branch by where we live and yes been with the bank for many years and have the 2 accounts described above one for depositing (no online or debit card) and the other for paying the bills here. So, what happens is money goes into the account and then i have to go to the bank and move money into my other account.

Yes it does.

It seems you have a direct deposit set up and your SSA payments are being direct deposited via Bangkok Bank's  New York branch.

You could change to the relatively new International Direct Deposit (IDD) arrangement to a different account. No need to do all your transactions in person. Sign up form for it is here. https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-1199-op107.pdf

If you are using your transfers to prove your income for an extension of stay at immigration there is one problem with IDD is that the transfers arrive as baht and transferred to the Bank of THailand (BOT) and are then transferred via BahtNet and will be shown as international transfers into your account.

Thank you for this information as yes it is SSA Payments as I do not work (disabled) and it goes threw the branch in New York I just need to change or alter it for a few months then back to normal but my account shows years of the same deposits from SSA in or around the 3rd of each month. I would assume that they have to know or understand that at points of our marriage here we have to go back and forth for visiting family and during that time we need to be able to pay the bills here while of Thailand. There is so much emphasis put on funds they neglect to understand people live their lives on that money it is not for just sitting in bank for Thailand but who am I.... lol

I will guess that you are using Bangkok Bank, as I am aware of that they are working that way with deposits of social security. 

What you can do is to go in to the bank and make auto return of your deposits. With that said you must know how long time you will stay home.

Thank you as about a few months till we come back to Thailand now you mentioned auto return if it goes back to USA it goes back to social security?

I will talk with them as the account I have set up with the US will not allow internet or debit card as the US wants me to go to the bank this is the account they set up to get my social check from the US 

I will be leaving in a few months to visit family back home and have my reentry pass. Question: I have funds threw social security that go to my bank account here have account for one for deposits and the other for paying bills out of. Now, the US does not allow the deposit account to have online or a debit card for that account. So, what do you do to move money from one account to another if I am out of the country? Can it be set up by the bank to move funds even though i am not present? First time going back home to visit.

What are you on about.

They have food hygiene down pat now days. 

 

I see what this site is about nothing of importance but ridicule all others that ARE NOT like YOU. I wonder how many thai's feel about you posting nonsense about the people here and the ones you are married to not a bar girl or the so called "Educated ones" everyone one of you has nothing to say about yourselves but you are so quick to talk b.s. about people in a country that you are a guest in. Regardless of status, money, etc. have some respect for all regardless of what you may think. This is NOT the UK, USA, China, etc....

Yes sort of right. Not those that "Think" but  those that "KNOW" whats better for everyone as a whole. Pollution issues would be an good example. 

Why or who are we to say or tell another what is good? Nothing is good all nonsense to make money nothing more than that. Once you have all the "better" thing whats next to have? There will always be someone trying to do better than the other cause people say it is better..... What a load of nonsense.

Are you saying that from a position of being "better off" then the people who participated in the survey ?

   Are you earning 9000 Baht a month, like many Thais who want a better standard of living ?

  Are you a rich guy , telling the poor people that they should be happy with what they got ?

   A Thai worker who spends all his income on basic survival , shouldnt seek more ?

Earning? Does not mean better or worse living. People equate living with money. To live does not require money. Money is what is the cause of peoples problems. Wanting more and more....

Rich Guy? I do not know what rich means I understand what society says it means. I am just another person in the world that is living in a world that I had no hand in "creating"

Seeking income? I think people all over does not matter Thai or not everyone is seeking money that is a learned behavior. There is no better or worse form of living there is only the illusions of what is better. A man in a jungle outside, a person with out or does not need money is not looking for "better living" He/She does not know what the word means....

To say want better living standards means nothing. What is a "better" living? Why and what are people basing these ideas off of? There is no such thing as better living. Just cause one sees a different way of living does not means it is better or worse. The term "Better Living" comes from people who think they are better off then the rest.

Care to precis?

We waste more time on other things that are not remotely worth the time. What is time anyways? In a nutshell it is basically about how we are a human all over no talking just video through many countries. We will see how very important it is to bring about, in the human mind, behaviors that cannot, anymore, accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. And considering what the world is now, with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression, and so on. Man is still as he was; he is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive. And, hes built a societies along these lines. ???? 

I'll just leave this here not much if any has changed with human behaviors
 

I noticed that any and all political that pertains to Thailand are not allowed in this forums when it addresses matters of the current system. However, it is ok to post matters that have nothing to do with Thailand or visas, etc... If one wants to keep track of their home country via news etc. there are many ways of doing this. All matters are POLITICAL as they are all ideas or opinions of others or just one. I noticed and see on this forums more negative talk then anything that is remotely helpful to others but a very tiny few. The premises of this forums is to be informed of changes in regards to Immigration not to talk down on such laws or the people of Thailand. Whether I agree or not agree with them. Thailand is not the USA, UK, China etc. If you like it there or you feel it is better than Thailand then the door is behind you. Nobody asked anyone to come here neither any governmental officials. This forums is more negative then being helpful to most on here. And who is to blame on this forums for this? Thai visa? the Staff? the People? This is human the behaviors rinse and repeat people are the same no matter where you go and that is the biggest threat to "health" is ourselves not climate nor pollution issues.

George Carlin can recite the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and explain entropy?

 

 

I do not know if he does or not as it is irrelevant whether one does or not. People only know what they have been taught or learned. One can not speak on something not having any knowledge or first hand experience and even then its still up to interpretation from that individual(s) based on the persons environment. ???? 

I do not see why everyone is so concerned with Climate control I like to go back to George Carlin on this subject......
