All they can do is to urge

I'm living next to airforce military base and jets are flying on the daily basis. That is a lot of fuel.

i don't  think you read my comments! read again please!

and if you have time, read the history from the time the berlin wall fell...

again, i've never said i support the war, i just want you "people" to understand the reasons that led russia to take this decision with serious consequences 

 

I was born in USSR, so I know history of this region. Moscow was always looking to expand its territory since time when it was established by Mongols as base to loot neighbors.

NATO is defensive alliance, to protect from aggressive countries like Russia is.

Serbia is very pro-russian country in a middle of Europe, but nobody force them to join NATO or EU, nobody invade them.

Don't look up

The interesting thing is that E85, which is 85% ethanol is rising fast for no reason, as ethanol price relatively stable. It is looks like people who use E85 pay for those who use diesel. 

So government increases debt ceiling on pretence of pandemic and then spending on fighter jets. Will they fight pandemic and economic downturn with it?

It is tick larvae. They just hatched out of eggs, it means that you have full grown ticks laying eggs around, and it is not good. Tick larvae do not carry any disease. But you need to get rid of them anyway. I would recommend to check your cat blood for blood parasite, just to be safe.

Recently my dog become very weak. Vet told that it is blood parasite from tick bite. Two weeks of treatment didn't help. Dog became completely paralyzed, suffering from constant muscle spasms. So I decided to put her down and vet did it. I paid 4000 bhat for that.

  They can offer land purchase for foreigners only in certain areas (undeveloped, rural) and limit amount of land per one owner.

  Most of Thais are already priced out by richer Thais, I see hundreds townhouses bought at price above 5 mln, and most of it just stay empty, rich Thais just parking they excess money in property.

Where? We're they falang built hones, new MooBan, or folks who borrowed free money from the banks while no payments were needed.  Maybe just rich folks

Korat. I don't know exactly who they are, and how rich they are. Mostly locals. Some even build restaurants and food shops. But a lot of construction activity here recently.

Thailand CB is a biggest gold buyer this year. I believe they use it to keep THB in certain range.

Same thing happened near my house recently, right after those covers been installed.

Your comment is false and misleading.   

 

Foreigners with deposits in Thai banks are protected just as Thais' deposits are.   Foreigners' accounts protected under the DPA scheme are not "Non-resident Baht Accounts" that the article refers to.   Try some banking research before posting 100% inaccurate claims. 

Yes, foreigners accounts are protected. So, nothing to worry about, as I said initially.????

"It is applied only to banks that have agreement with DPA"

Obviously.     And those banks that don't have the DPA agreement (which are they?) obviously would provide no protection at all!

 

"People can distribute money in different banks"

I know but they'd have to do it with other banks that have the same DPA restrictions so what would be the point?

 

"There are a lot of things you can do with money"

Really?   What would you suggest for money that has to be immediately available as an alternative to a bank account that has DPA protection?

 

"I don't know if it is happening or not"

If Thai banks were going to the wall (and that was the reason for this reduction in protection that's been announced publicly for many years) do you not think you'd have heard about it?

 

The point to distribute money between many banks is to keep less than 1 mil in each of them.

By the way in new article they are saying that non-residents are not protected at all lol.

You can keep gold, cash, crypto etc.

But that's not happening and the revised legislation applies to every bank.  Why should customers "rush to withdraw money", where would they put it?

It is applied only to banks that have agreement with DPA, there are the list of banks that covered on DPA website. I don't know if it is happening or not. People can distribute money in different banks or keep it in cash. There are a lot of things you can do with money ????

and many can even not wit draw all, as half from their 800K  must stay on bank .... 400 K can be taken of after 3 months from ret.ext. stamp  ...until 2 months before the new ret.ext must be completed to 800K full.

Forget the panic .... its  O.K.  Thailand has a very big buffer foreign currency .... hence it is Teflon Baht 

I withdrew the money, no reason to panic ????.

Those que 's are probably the covid queues  after the new restrictions bank impose ....???? many banks closing some branches or restricting the number of persons can go inside at a time ....

Oh boy ...!what a panic by some , now they restrict that long time announced lower deposit protection....????

The problem is that the panic can cause bank insolvency.
