Your problem is not rate, it's availability of that sort of volume. I can pretty much guarantee the banks wont have that to hand but they will be able to collect it for you over time, ditto the money changers.

 

Downstream of course there's also a Customs issues but I expect you know that.

 

 

I needed a to change bath to a big roll of USD once and did not call ahead to SuperRich on LoiKhroh rd in CM
 

They had it on hand. Like 15 or 20k USD, can’t remember. Nobody batted an eye.
 

Maybe if Trump wins and appoints himself first Monarch of the Trump dynasty in 2025 they will become real collectors items 😀? 

More likely I’d reckon any dufus who buys one of these pieces of garish  dreck will be lucky to get melt and loose diamond weight a few years later minus a hefty premium for the pawnbroker or goldsmith.

  Eh , is that any way on topic ?

You sat next to the man in the photo 21 years ago ?

Anyway about the Trumps watches

 Absolutely, foolish. Only an idiot would buy one. We could go on and on about wealthy people who squandered their money or ended up jailed for life. But some of them were not just fools, they are psychopaths and criminals like  Donald Trump.

   You are calling person with $100 000 going spare to spend casually "a fool" .

   I doubt that they are that foolish, having that much spare cash 

 Just because people have spare

cash does not make them

not a fool.

Amazing nonsense. How does one say 

the phrase “more money than sense “ in Thai?  

I read  this cat was worth as much as one billion dollars. About 21 years ago I sat adjacent to him,  and Russel Simmons in a nice Italian trattoria in NYC . If Puffy had just “played within the lines” he could get all the gratification he would have ever wanted or needed for life. A fool.

I grok one can be “a fan “ of his scholarship whilst disagreeing with him completely.

He has stated that the GOP is the greatest threat to the continued existence of human civilization in the history of the world.

 

Don’t remember  what he has said about Trump in particularly as he is too ridiculous and clownish to attract much intellectual interest but surely your alumni fellow will not support your voting for Trump.

Trump dodges question over whether any past partners had abortions

“Given his draconian comment, sending women back to back alleys, I had to ask: When he was a swinging bachelor in Manhattan, was he ever involved with anyone who had an abortion?

‘Such an interesting question,’ he said. ‘So what’s your next question?’”

Unless you are laid up in hospital you  don’t “need” to overstay if  can afford an air ticket.

This includes being fired from your job for not showing up, missing your child’s birth or piano recital, or the Tilly Birds concert

Overstay is a choice, take proper action or suffer a stamp of shame in your passport

Totally up to U.

If you lose or damage that foreign debit card, you have a problem.

For 3 or 4 days until FedEx or UPS comes around. Sent free of charge by my bank

What is the benefit of not having a Thai bank account as na expat in Thailand? 

This is the CCP model,  where all land is state owned. Might not be such a bad idea who wants to “own” a pad of dirt in a mhuu baan?

It is actually quite possible to live long term in Thailand without a Thai bank A/C. Admittedly you did not state 'Thai bank'. I have a UK visa card which I use on a very regular basis, to make purchases in store in Thai Baht, and at ATMs. The down side to using an ATM is the charge they make. The only Thai bank A/C I have is a fixed deposit for the purpose of Immigration.

Not wanting to be difficult Dr Jack, but you should check facts before making statements.

Can you link foreign credit card to automatic debit monthly of Condo maintenance  fees, Pea electric payments and 3bb internet services?

Good if you can do that.

 

I know two people who have had their UK bank accounts terminated because the banks found out the account holder lived in Thailand.

Let these Britishers know they can simply enroll with Coutts Private Bankers 

They won’t have any more problems

A quote of who?

The article is firewalled 

Of course Trump is temperamentally

disqualified but the people who will matter, the deplorables who vote for him after years  knowing what he is all about are beyond hope

A wall of ignorance and bias no logic or reason can penetrate

That attitude is what lost Hillary 2016.  It's typical of the Dems.  They ooze contempt for the very people that make modern life possible.

 

Nonsense. Hillary lost because of a “vast right wing conspiracy” lasting since early 1990s causing a certain proportion of likely Hillary voters to stay home. And others, the most guilty, who wasted their votes on Dr. Jill Stein 

Nothing to do with these hard-hat types

Looks like my voter registration has been purged.

I have been waiting for my mail ballot. 

Checked the online site today. Not eligible, no idea why iO will call the registration office but not sure there is time to get this illegal suppression of a likely Harris voter amended. M
 

The right -wingers who control the state process do not like my name, they don’t like my foreign birth and 

probably not my voting history
