The remaining ones seem to have very little cash on premises. I usually have to give my branch notice the day before if I want to withdraw more than about $5000 in cash.

They don't stop being the children of their parents when they turn 18. Anyone can act as a guarantor for another person's loan but it is usually the parents in that role since nobody else would want the risk. I was guarantor for a small personal bank loan my 21 year old daughter wanted. Even though she was an adult, it was her first loan so needed a guarantor.

After the recent earthquake our landlord gave us a 50% discount on our rent for the next 3 months so that we don't move out. Many tenants from our high rise building never returned after the earthquake and my Thai wife was also scared and wanted to leave. However, before the earthquake we were very lucky to find a vacancy in the building we are living in because it is (was) very popular. My wife has calmed down now, she decided it is too much effort to move so we are staying.

A "no comment" would effectively be a negative review and my agents would not lease to that tenant. We usually have a dozen applicants to chose from and the best person gets the property.

Good question. My agents never accept first time tenants in my properties. I expect the agents that do accept them will require some form of guarantor, perhaps the parents. A good credit history would also be helpful for first timers.

I have two rental properties in Australia and my agents always do a thorough background check on potential tenants and requires references from previous rentals.

I am outraged by this outrageous event, especially since no farangs were involved.

Thai netizens would be "outraged"

No way. I don't believe you.

I agree. Imagine having to bend the rules so you can put YOUR money into a bank that can then make life difficult for you, or even keep your money, because you "broke the rules". Not worth the risk. I have never bothered getting a bank account in Thailand although my wife does have one into which I remit funds from overseas. I don't have the urgent need to use QR codes or even my credit card. I just use cash for everything, my wife pays our utilities from her account and I pay the monthly rent using Wise for direct transfers from my overseas account to the landlord. Who needs a bank?

My Thai wife will often walk just behind me in public and put her hand on my shoulder to keep close especially in crowded areas. She will never hold hands while walking because it seems to be a taboo for her. At home we are touching almost all the time. When we sit on the sofa watching TV or playing around on our phones she will always drape her legs over my lap and snuggle close. I like her doing that.

They had to use a zoom lens to get the photos. Outrageous!

I have not seen a "Pointing" photo for ages.

I always thought it is a variation of "I love you" when my wife says it to me. 😆

Who writes this stuff? 🤣

The USA has become an unreliable "ally" under Trump. The supposed "kill switch" on US military equipment also makes them much less desirable and unreliable if the USA decides Thailand is not its friend in future.

I use a slightly older version of Office which was a purchase and not a subscription. Works perfectly for me.

It is time to investigate what other projects this Chinese company sold rebar to and check the quality of those builds. Hopefully there are no other high rise buildings constructed using their rebar.

That is my wife's favourite TV program. She watches it every day.

A bullet to the head is the correct future for that mongrel.

She was at the airport ready to fly out.

We live in one of the high rise buildings seen on the news with their rooftop pools being emptied over the sides. We were told by the agent that we can either move out and lose our deposit of 2 months rent, or accept a decrease in monthly rent and stay on. After the initial panic and wanting to immediately move out, my Thai wife realised it will be really hard work to pack up, find a new place and make the move. So we will stay on and negotiate a lower rent. Laziness and saving money wins out over perceived personal safety.

The list is not even in any order, alphabetic or by tariff value, just like Trumps brain... random.

Perhaps they lost their....
