I disagree., wholeheartedly. despite his age, he has experience in the role as house speaker, he is highly respected and you appear to fail to understand how age (and presumably the wisdom that comes with it, in many instances) is so highly regarded in Thailand. plus, there was a deadlock - this is an excellent way forward, in my view. finally, my Thai equity investments may soon reflect the settlement of such an important issue to the running of the Thai legislative assembly.

me neither. I had an an account at BOA, solely for the processing of donations from abroad, to help with tsunami relief. but I closed it after my co-trustee died. thanks for the tip. I have heard the same horror story, with attempting to open an account with the Bangkok Bank. They ask you to bring the village headman with you. some friends tried to do that, but he was a drunkard. he wanted 2000 baht and a bottle of whiskey. which they gave him. he then crashed his pickup, on the way to the bank, while driving drunk. Once he asked them to pay for his accident. they quit that idea and they applied to a different bank. you couldn't make this up.

agree, but there is one risk, if he does not get divorce, which includes him getting sole custody, he is always at risk that she will blackball him., by threatening to go to court. another thing (I may have missed it) but if he does get a divorce - in Thailand, don't the assets get split 50:50 ?
