Are you liable for debt even if your now back in your home country ? Cheers

Cheers for the positive benifits and I think it would take to long to reply (quote) all the negatives but have read ll and thank you. 1 - Yes I believe this is her main reason as we are very happy together. 2 - I didn't know so thank you. 3 - Yes a plus also as it took 3 goes last time to get her holiday Visa to take her home for a holiday. 1 - I have already made a will so that everything I own goes to her. It was in the event that something happens to her I was wondering. 2 - And you answered that and it sounds about right. Cheers

Afternoon All I have a few questions regarding getting married in Thailand and would appreciate your thoughts. OK so I have gone through all the necessary procedures required and have my CNI etc meaning all good to go. I have been with my girl for 6 years and after 2 failed (western) marriages had never really given it a thought as if I fail at something twice then that is enough and move on. It was brought up by her and in a way that sounded reasonable. We have 2 homes paid for by me and she said that in the event of her passing before me if married would mean I would have HALF or one house. No mum or dad just a <deleted> son 19 that does not like farangs meaning no effort to talk to me etc even know his whole lazy existence is paid for by me. 1. The first thing that came to my mind was I would not live in this village anymore if she had passed. 2. The second reason not to go along with her is she may be thinking of me but I know with an Aunty both sides of us and her son it would be difficult for me to end up with anything. I also doubt it would be sellable as they are penniless and doubt anyone would want to live in the middle of their <deleted>. 3. I have read many posts where it is possible for me to own the house and a Thai the land. With all the Lawyers fee’s etc in having all this drawn up only to end up with nothing seems pointless. 4. I also don’t have the money to live out my retirement here and will probably have to go back home and work for a while to build up the bank account which we have talked about. 5. SO, I believe I would be marrying to just make her happy which is fine (BUT) 6. I do not know if there are benefits, she is thinking of or been told about and that there may be downfalls I don’t know about. 7. If you men out there married could give me some advice that would be appreciated. +/- to being Married 1. Are there benefits to being married and I am already on a retirement VISA.. 2. What are the downfalls 3. Am I liable, accountable for anything if I’m no longer in Thailand but still married to her. Appreciate your comments Regards, Jack

Yes your right and IG and CMC Sing have asked for my OZ TFN which I expected and provided. I am a non redident for tax purposes so not required to report any overseas income which I don't.

Has anybody had a knee replacement operation while living here. If so could you please rate your overall satifaction with the op and the approx cost involved. Cheers

That would be nice but without a Sing Pass (work permit or singapore address) I am not able to open a Singapore Bank Account it seems. Cheers

Plenty of phone calls etc so maybe someone here (satisfied customer) can help. Living here permanently on a retirement visa. I am from OZ but have no and want no OZ Bank accounts. I have all my funds in Bangkok Bank. I want to open a second Bank Account non Thai and Deposit 250k USD. I talked to HSBC Thailand but they don't do personnel Accounts. I looked at Citi Bank Singapore but looks like you need a Sing Pass which I don't have. I went into the UOB in Buriram but they wouldn't open an account for me. Any advise is welcomed, cheers.

Be interested to here what Platforms are being used to Trade while living permanently in Thailand and your satisfaction rating. Preferably CFD providers with a GSLO. I mainly trade US stocks, World Indices and Commodities. If you Trade the local who do you use and what software do you use to scan for possible candidates. Thanks in Advance
