Hi there, I'm be going to Bali for upto 6 months; as a tourist can i open a bank account? Many thanks,

Im also looking at Bualuang to buy ETF's, but the fees seem very high indeed; did you search around for any other ETF providers? They all seem to be extortionate (compared to the west).

Hi All, Any investors out there with some thoughts on the following? I have a brokerage account in the west where im used to (maybe spoilt) with very transaction & low management fees. I want to open a brokerage account here in thailand, and have looked at the funds, ETF's on offer from Bangkok bank, SCB, kasikorn; but the fees seem extortionate to say the least. Can anyone recommend a broker or bank that offers funds, ETF's e.t.c with competitive fees? Many thanks.

Which brokerage is anyone on here using in Thailand. Bangkok bank have limited funds, and the fees are steep. Im based in Thailand and wish to invest in Thai baht; any good recommendation for brokers with a good range of etf's mutual funds and competitive prices. Thanks

You misunderstood my point. Im not talking about the current taxes or current affordability. Portugal public debt to GDP ration is 148%, the government is broke; its unsustainable.

Hi All, I realise that if i purchase the Thai elite visa im entitled to open a Thai bank account. But would the Thai elite visa enable me to open a brokerage account and buy ETF's and Mutual funds? Thank you in advance

Brilliant. Thank you.

Hi All, Im sure this question has already been answered, ive had a search and could not find initially. Im on a tourist visa, multi-entry; and may have an offer to work in a school shortly (i think thats non-B visa); pre-covid i understand i would go to a neighbouring country; what are my options now as leaving Thailand is complicated? thank you

Great post, and one that came from the heart. As another poster commented, work hard and save harder and you can get back here and live the simple life; life is about dreams, then making that dream a reality....keep up the fight pal.

OK great, thanks for confirming. I entered 30th Dec 2021...so until 28th Feb....multi-entry visit says last entry 10th May......cheers.

My Multi-entry tourist visa expires 28th Feb (last entry 10th May) - can i get the 30 day extension now? so taking me till end of March....assuming i cannot get 60 day extension? thank in advance

Hi All, Could someone please give me a rough cost of shipping 5 work shirts and a pair of work trousers from UK to Thailand; Its not urgent, 2-4 weeks would be fine. Many thanks in advance

Agree with all your comments; and hey they all have plenty of advantages, depends what you are looking for. But my issue with Portugal is that the government is broke (like many governments, but worse), taxes will rise and they will also coming knocking for your money when the crisis unfolds.

Yes, saw this - however thanks for sending over. Im also pattaya based; i guess i was hoping for an own brand bumper size pack (750g) for half the price, like in UK I used to buy from Tesco, Aldi.! No worries, i realise im not in the UK anymore, 1st world problems hey; thanks anyhow for the link.

Hi All, Bit of a random question. As you may well have observed, imported cereals are very expensive; does anyone know where i can purchase an own brand version of Bran flakes/All bran? Or is there a Thai similar/alternative option at a local price? Thank in advance
