The deposit agency make it crystal clear what is covered Protected Deposit Products Protected deposit products are deposit accounts that are opened at member financial institutions under the Deposit Protection Agency Act. They must be denominated in Thai baht and must be opened within the country. Currently, there are 5 types of protected deposits: Current deposit accounts Savings deposit accounts Fixed deposit accounts Certificates of deposit Deposit receipts https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/protected-deposit-products So that means FCD ( Foreign currency deposit accounts) in Euros, Dollars Sterling or any other currency excluding Thai baht are not covered by the Protected deposit

the Pdf file that you uploaded doesn't mention anything about Foreign currency deposit accounts which this link does Financial products or certain deposit products that are not protected include: Foreign currency deposit accounts https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/protected-deposit-products

Did you read my post before replying Financial products or certain deposit products that are not protected include: Foreign currency deposit accounts https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/protected-deposit-products

That is not correct Financial products or certain deposit products that are not protected include: Foreign currency deposit accounts (SSF, RMF) Money invested in bonds, debentures, mutual and tax-saving funds (SSF and RMF) Deposits in cooperatives Cashier’s cheques and bills of exchange Electronic money (e-money) Savings insurance products offered by insurance companies https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/protected-deposit-products

Who is protected? Foreigners with Thai baht deposit accounts at member financial institutions in Thailand are also protected under the Deposit Protection Agency Act. However, “Non-Resident Baht Accounts” as defined in the Exchange Control Act B.E. 2485 (1942) are not protected. https://www.dpa.or.th/en/articles/view/who-is-protected

scams occur worldwide not just exclusively to Thailand, many times I have seen listings on a well known US/UK website where the seller is selling a phone at an unbelievable low starting price and you see lots of people bidding on those items , it only when you read the listing in detail and you find out their not selling a phone , their selling the box of the phone. Over here on well known sales sites if no feedback, doesn't accept COD or has few followers or has only created their selling page 10 days ago are all warning signs

I think you will find websites are Easier to close, cut and run. How to Determine if a Website is a Fake, Fraud or Scam – updated for 2020 https://blog.webnames.ca/how-to-determine-if-a-website-is-a-fake-fraud-or-scam/ Many websites have no contact details , no address or if a address is listed it turns out to moorland in the middle of nowhere Regardless if a business operates on a website only operation or a facebook page operation due diligence is required If they are offering a product 50% lower than everyone else or a product that only they have stock no they have no feedback be aware

Majority of small businesses in Thailand only have a Facebook page, easier to create and maintain and update and doesn't require expensive IT support to maintain and update on their timeline not the business owners timeline, that and expensive hosting and domain name fees. For people that choose to not use businesses that have a facebook presence only that their choice but in doing so they have to understand they might not be getting the best deal that is available.

Hopefully someone will come along and say you can do better with your max budget of 26000 baht but its a starting point

Can you get Full Array Local Dimming on a 55" within a budget of 20K

Toolong Yes it is a minefield, If I was you I wouldn't get 2 hung up on the different terms Start with working out Min/Max Budget ( ideally 10K difference between min and max) then decide min/max size (more often or not size is restricted to TV location or your wife may decide she doesn't want a certain size as it would dominated the room. Then make a shortlist of TV's I would have 2 lists Chinese brands and well known brands Oled Tv's prices start at around 35K for 48" going up to 100K plus Full Array Local Dimming is not normally on lower end tv's prices start from 25K upwards You Wife is partially correct in the view that a more expensive item must be better than a cheaper item In that the more expensive item will have more options and better materals in the build Local Dimming on TVs Direct-Lit, Full-Array, and Edge-Lit https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/local-dimming QLED vs OLED vs LED TVs Which one is the best? https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/qled-vs-oled-vs-led

How many airbags for the family

as it is a family car I would look at what safety equipment is supplied as standard as there are some new cars sold today with only 2 airbags. Another model to consider is the Nissan Almera as news cars start from 499,000 although I prefer cars that the rear seats can fold flat such as the Yaris and the Jazz
