Cayenne powder is sold at Foodland amongst the spices just by the fridges on the right. Would this do?

I have a retirement visa now - since June 2007.

The deposit of 800K Baht is in my current account with Bangkok Bank - earning less than 1% interest per year.

Question: can I (am I allowed to?) put it into a higher-earning account (investment account) which will give me 3% to 4% return???

During each visa renewal period, I would then show letters from the bank confirming amounts in both my current and investment accounts.

Thoughts and comments appreciated.

My 800K is with the Tanachart Bank, north Pattaya branch. The bank is accepted by the Immigration Office, and in a year's fixed deposit account, brings in 3% interest (less the mandatory 15% tax on the interest). The certificate/letter from the bank is ready in about 30 minutes and costs 100 baht.

I have put the 800K which I keep against my retirement visa in the Tanachart Bank which offers a higher percentage return than high-street banks. Somebody said to me the other day that the Bank could be risky, as opposed to, say, the Krung Thai. What does anybody think please?

The big banks give around 0.75% minus tax ... how much do you get ?

Naka.

...three percent, less 15% tax on the interest, which applies everywhere. Gross therefore, 24K baht as opposed to 6K at .75%. Quite a difference.
