Well, that makes sense. So I am correct in assuming that no bank in Thailand will pay me 5% interest?

My country raised interest rates. Naturally the savings rates also went up. As a matter of fact back home (where interest rates are still low) I can now get almost 5% on a 1-year deposit. Depositing 500,000 bucks would allow me to live like a medium tier Cheap Charlie in Thailand without touching a principal. I think Thailand interest rates are higher, but they seem to be paying next to nothing on term deposits. Am I correct or am I looking at the wrong places?

Tops is about to enter a new market segment to compete with Makro. Personally I detest Marko and their low quality products and Tops Club seems to be more in line with Costco in USA and Canada. They will open their first store near Central Rama II. A bit far from where I live now, but wifey has a house there, so maybe I'll go check it out and take some pics.
