It is known insurance companies will do anything to not pay.

I only have 2 personal Thai bank-accounts, both with Kasikorn Bank. 

The regular Savings Account with a debit-card for daily transactions, and the Fixed Deposit Account where I keep my +800.000,- Thb to meet the financial requirement for the annual 1-year extension of stay based on my Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement.

>> But I want to open a Thai bank-account with another major Thai Bank, in case of any problems with the Kasikorn accounts.

Unfortunately the closest BangkokBank, Siam Commercial Bank and KrungSri Bank branches are +40 km from where I live, otherwise I would have already opened an account there. 

Any suggestions or caveats to opening an account with other Thai banks, there is a KrungThai branche and a GSB (Governments Savings Bank) relatively close to where I live.

KTB or GSB.

Both will do just fine.

Off-topic, but absolutely true that many hospital bills go unpaid by foreigners.

 

Obviously, but I stated when a debit card is issued, and most foreigner tourists opened a Savings account where a debit card was issued.

But the question is, which foreigners don't pay the hospital bills?

The tourists?

The people living in Thailand?

OK.

 

When you are right...you are right....and....I am wrong.

Therefore, thank you for your clarification.

 

I will continue to buy Haiter, based on your information.

 

STILL....I think it is too expensive.  WHY?  I think that most people here do not understand that this product should be very cheap, based on cost of production, packaging, shipping, and distribution.

 

I will not return home, even if I had another home outside Thailand to return to, just because Makro is beyond my means when purchased at more expensive stores.  Instead, I will take your advice and purchase it at Makro.  And, why don't they give us a discount by packaging this product in 4 liter (litre) jugs?  Can you answer me this?

 

 

Haiter is available in 5 liter cans, and also 10 liter.

The Germans had "Lebensbronn"

Maybe an idea?

A lot of revenue will be sorely missed.

Suïcide?

Really?

Another not so good idea, Don Muang is very well served by long distance trains.

And HS trains will not succeed.

Ensuring safety how ? 

The implication is quite clear and xenophobic if not racist.

The correct ruling though. They already voted to stay. No need to re-run it every 5 minutes until she gets the result she wants.

There is a group in Belgium who tend to do just that.

Again, again, again.

Being Chinese both know the vivid measures are just used to express some sort of irritation of Xi.

Covi

Creating money is a government thing, bank just create computer lists.

Not good!

Regarding the headline : I don't think that ashes from a cremated person can be considered as being "Human remains" 

What else might you call them?

Like all government tourist plans this plan is geared to the "well healed".

I guess many Chinese will "invest".

“Ductless” because each unit provides cooling whereas in the USA the overwhelming kind of AC has 1 large cooling unit per house and blows cooled or heated air through ducts.

 

“Mini” because each individual AC here is designed to cool 1 room so they are smaller than needed to cool 1 house.

 

”split” as the outdoor unit is separate from the indoor cooling unit.

 

The USA has individual small combined AC units known as window ACs The benefits of these are they are reasonable simple to install and need no ducking or pipes. The disadvantages are numerous, they include blocking a window and being noisy. 
The standard AC unit here and in many other parts of the world is just called an AC because there are few giant whole house units or small window units sold as there is no market for them..

It seems, AC friendly installer told me, there is a growing market for the so-called window units, although most are installed in a hole made in the wall.

Ease of installing and choice of lower output (below 9000 BTU) are the reasons.

Even available through Lazada and Shopee......

Chinese links to illegal doings?

In Thailand?

Really?

Maybe some attention could be given to the mother of the perpetrator.

She is very ashamed, also lost a grandchild by her own son's hands and now is threatened by her neighbours.

Two weeks?

What about two years?

If the soldiers got a personal bonus for the amount of tourists they attracted to Thailand, well I don't think anyone needs me to explain.

Thaksin, both, would do better, you think?

Last time I looked both got filthy rich during their tenure.

Thaksin would do a hell of a lot better then the goons in power now who have looted the coffers....

I seem to remember Thaksin and sister did a magnificent job looting the coffers, in fact they got filthy rich in their time in power.

I figure you have a shortvor a very selective memory.

That said, I read in internet, papers, whatever, things are not going dandy elsewhere also.

Chinese tourism will not bring any relief, Chinese tourists don't spend locally, only to big operators.
