Spending Money - Should I follow my Friends Advice ?
NoDisplayName replied to AlienBoy's topic in General Topics
You've got 3 million. Put 1 million in a fixed account for your immigration extensions. In your name only, but I've read you can have your wife sign on the blacklight-visable only signature strip in the passbook, meaning she should be able to take the money out when extensions are no longer required. The other 2 million you can put into bond ETF's. That converts to about US$55K. 7% will give you about $320/month interest, or about 11,500 baht/month spending money without touching the balance. -
Moody waitress. Poorly cooked food. Bad service. What are you complaining about, man? You WANTED an English breakfast.

Spending Money - Should I follow my Friends Advice ?
NoDisplayName replied to AlienBoy's topic in General Topics
False dichotomy. You don't have to choose between miserly and spendthrift. Meet in the middle. You're 76 with 3 million in the bank. Assume you'll make it to 90. Set aside 1 million in a special account to remain untouched until that day. Take the 2 million and spend down over 14 years. That would give you around 12,000 baht/month to spend on "extravagances" for you and your wife (not factoring in dividends and interest on the balance). -
That's how it's done. Wise is using their CFSB/Evolve accounts to collect USD from your US bank. Then they use their Kasikorn/BKK Bank accounts to send bath to your Thailand account. Try this............check the routing number that is associated with your Wise account. Mr. Googles can tell you which bank it corresponds to, and which bank your credit union account is linked to.

How Time Deposit work in Thailand ?
NoDisplayName replied to zenplay's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Usually...............for fixed accounts, if you withdraw all of the balance before the end of the term, you lose all of the pending accrued interest. If you withdraw part of the balance, you lose part of the interest. -
Reckless driving causes 1.2 million baht BMW motorcycle crash
NoDisplayName replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Why would he be riding on the oil drip center of the asphalt instead of the 1/3 nearest the yellow lines...........where he'd have a better view and wouldn't entice idiot drivers to try to pass? Anyhoo, he appears to be closer to the white line than to the center. -

Why is this big biker in the video riding his BMW like a 90cc miniscooter, on the outside edge white stripe, along the inside of a blind curve? -
Why are video games so often blamed for mass shootings?
NoDisplayName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why are video games so often blamed? It's the new morality. Nothing is ever, ever your fault. Somebody or something external cause it, made you do it. It was society. It was WHite suppemacismists. It was capitalism. It was colonialism. It's not their fault, they're blameless. Dey dindunuffin. -

I've got Firefox with AdBlock and YesScript. No ads or popups on Youtube. Last week started getting a popup warning "Ad blockers are not allowed" about five seconds into my first video. Hit the "X" to close, restart the video. "No ad blockers" popup does not reappear no matter how many videos I watch after that.

Could also try Lumpini Park. Pedal the swan paddle boats, chase the giant water monitors. -

Ride the canal boats. Jump on and off, visiting sights along the canals. Is the Batcat museum/toystore at LamSali (Bangkapi Mall) still open? -
Only at the border. And only about $5.

Have you considered a nice, long walk? Take the train to Aranyaprathet. Walk to Siem Reap, across to Stung Treng, then north to Pakse, and then over to Ubon Ratchitani. There's the 750km walkabout you've always wanted to experience.

Received an email from Wise telling me the USD account details will change as of October 31. Logged onto Wise, noted the new routing number, account number and address. Set up a link from my credit union to send money to wise using the information provided. The link for Wise previously was Evolve Bank and Trust. The new link is with Community Federal Savings Bank. The SWIFT code is unchanged. Here's an interesting tidbit from the memory hole (2 years ago on reddit): and from yahoo in 2016:
