Well, Bangkok Bank at least has a branch in New York, which the other banks do not have, but I have seen evidence of non-professionalism when dealing with them back when they were the only bank which could accept American Social Security. To be fair, NO BANK wants to deal with the onerous FBAR reporting that the USA forces on foreign banks which open accounts for Americans. Just another example of overreach.

I would TRY it, if only to see how it tastes. Sounds bogus.

NONE of it is worth DYING for.

In order to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, SOMETHING has to DIE!!!!!

I would TRY it. Taste and texture would be the deciding factors.

Running around naked is an AMERICAN thing. The Brits are appropriating our national culture.

Time for the restoration of the Shinawatra dynasty.

Don’t take the chance. If you live in Thailand, you are obviously aware of how easy it is to go to jail here.

Insurance is an amazing scam in Thailand and other SE Asian countries. Prices for care are far lower than in America, yet you can’t get insured for a reasonable price if you are above a certain age. When you are paying absurd premiums and have no guarantee that you can collect on a claim, that negates any cost advantage of living here. The tax windfall from cannabis should be used to fund a national healthcare program that foreigners can buy into.

Better beer is the goal. The two largest brewers do not need protectionist policies to protect their sales.

I have been advised that usually no more are available and those who have them are not giving them up. Are there commencial alternatives available? General mail service does not seem to be reliable. Any advice appreciated

The best and most accurate post on this thread. Bravo, mate!!!

I understand your feelings but I have just learned to ignore it over the past eight years. I expect to be relocating to Cambodia as soon as my Thai GF dumps me. It’s coming, because the entire Thai culture is looking for a better deal. This is not the place to live if you are looking for sincerity and true love.
