  1. Nobody says you have to keep an ATM card. ATM withdrawals from all my Thai bank accounts are through the app, no annual charges for an ATM card, and no risk to lose the card either. My banks in Europe charge me 4 Euro (150 baht) PER MONTH just to have an account, no ATM or credit card attached. And that 4 Euro is the cheapest option. If you want some service, it will be 7 Euro
  2. I get email notifications and app notifications, free of charge with all Thai banks. SMS is so nineties ????
  3. Since when did wearing a gold necklaces in India become a ‘cultural belief’... you’re going down the rabbit hole attempting back up your flawed response. Here you go, and no need to reply because I don't see your future posts any more. Bye https://www.bankbazaar.com/gold-rate/significance-of-gold-in-indian-culture.html https://www.royalmint.com/invest/discover/invest-in-gold/gold-and-indian-culture/
  4. Well Mr Straw man, didn't the poster to who I replied say these people from India never learn not to wear a gold necklace? Why show off your wealth? With what purpose? He didn't mention the word Pattaya or even Thailand. He clearly indicated that they should not adhere to their cultural beliefs. And according to your straw men opinion, 1.4 Billion people in India should know what is happening in Pattaya. Right?
  5. Apparently these AN posters never learn that different cultures have different beliefs and social practices. In India gold is considered a symbol of status, luck and prosperity. So they should forget about their culture because they visit a country on holiday, where there are mentally challenged people with too long fingers?
  6. As clean as the current leader you mean? The one who confiscated 1500 buses from the company that did the zero$ Chinese tours, only to have a family member then start a bus company to cater to those tours? The one who had a family member, with no experience at all in construction, awarded big contracts for building the parliament house? The one who sold a plot of land, worth hundreds of millions of baht, and when asked to clear up a few things answered, don't ask me I forget about already?
  7. Beans (40bht) and Tomato sauce (30bht) from Makro, makes around 4 tins of baked beans (17.5 baht per tin) + 30 minutes electric + hassle + washing cooking pots. 1 tin of Ayam English recipe beans = 49 Baht at Big C extra. Cheaper at Makro. I think I can afford the few baht extra, and just open a can when I want to eat them
  8. Yes you will get only 0.5% on the total amount in your MTD account. I have moved funds to TTB bank No Fixed account. 1.10% minimum 2 million, maximum 30 million. paid monthly SCB Jad tem 1.25% maximum 3 million - EZ savings 1.5% up to 1 million LH Bank Pro fit account 1.5% up to 3 million (You may have to engage headoffice to get an account as foreigner) UOB Stash account 1.25% up to 10 million. paid monthly All interest rates are available on the web and I think they will increase next month. Krungsri MTD account, once the most favourable, is now the worst one
  9. All the best to him, but................... https://www.thaipbsworld.com/move-forward-party-leaders-political-future-uncertain/ Move Forward party leader’s political future uncertain According to the election law, the Election Commission can seek a ruling from the Supreme Court if it finds, before the election, that a candidate is not qualified. The commission can also conduct an investigation into the complaint after the election or before the election results are officially announced.
  10. You should engage a few brain cells before you make a comment like this again. Have you seen what damage methamphetamines do? And which cartel banks you gonna break? Yaba cost less than a fried rice with chicken
  11. Without a work permit you get ZERO at GSB.
  12. In the civilized world it would be prohibited for banks to publish the fake promotions they post I have a Mee Tae Dai account with Krungsri, and you get 0.90% up to 2 million. Over 2 million the intertest goes down to 0.50% Nothing to worry you would think, but here is the snake in the grass. If you have 2000.001 baht in your account, the 0.50% is not only on the amount above 2 million, but on the whole amount. I found out the hard way, because 2 years ago the limit was 5 million, and the branch manager encouraged me to deposit more, because over 5 million I would be a privileged client, which included a sugary cake on my birthday, and free use of airport lodge, among a few more useless benefits. What she forgot to tell me is that interest on the whole 5 million would be lower, so in fact, the privilege cost me money. https://www.krungsri.com/Krungsri2020/media/Banking-Rate/deposit-rates/en/deposit-rates-01052023-en.pdf
  13. I could do that 30 years ago as well, in Soi Pattayaland 1. Forgot the name now, started with blue. Run by the police
  14. How about, coup should be removed of Thailand's future?
  15. What else would you expect when even Super Poll, owned by the government, openly says that Prayuth doesn't have a chance.
  16. I like your sense of humour
  17. At that point in time yes, but those that didn't have fixed rate mortgage, which I think is the majority, look now at much higher monthly payments. And yes they borrowed low, but at the cost of a significant higher price for the property. How much have property prices increased over the last 15 years? With the rich I didn't mean the older people, but the elite and the banks. Edit; Older people would put their money in mutual funds, and made good profits, because there has been a bull market for a decade
  18. Interest rates have been too low for too long time in the whole world, for only one reason, which is to make the rich even richer. Real estate (owned by the rich) prices rose to unsustainable levels, and average Joe didn't care, because he could get a cheap mortgage. Now the chickens come home to roost, not for the rich because his properties have been sold, but for the mortgagee whose mortgage now isn't a cheap one any more.
  19. Nope it was similar ludicrous, and we all know which party Samak was part of, and why it happened. What was your point again?
  20. An agent that works for 100 Baht? That's something new. How did he get his passport to the agent? Using postal pigeon?
  21. Nope, just the opposite I should think. I didn't call any members by name, but again, it's might be obvious why you missed that detail ????
  22. Reflection of hardcore drug users on this forum. covid is a hoax........response AN posters, you want to deny science? Climate change is only about money.............response AN posters, you want to deny science? Cannabis has an increased risk for schizophrenia..............response AN posters, scientists are wrong. Reefer madness
  23. Happened to someone I know. As soon as he rang the bell, about 20 ladies marched down the stairs from the second floor..........with drink in hand
  24. Is that after they got the sentence cut in half because they confessed?
