well, it sure was nice when the banks were paying 11% interest !   i also keep most in THB.....funny when

posters are so worried about keeping enough for the imm. requirement in an "untrustworthy" thai bank.

 

I had up to 18 % at one point,the good old days.

So your income (forget capital) has been higher than your expenditure for 31 years +/- exchange rate factors since 1987.

Income,savings and appreciation in properties,exchange rates nothing to do with it really.

If it was “enough” then, it is unlikely to be enough now with exchange rate factors.

Well its 31 years here,and have more than I started with,and about 70 % in THB,

so i think it will still be enough.

But of cause the Banks will increase rates for lenders,

no way are the going to cut their bottom line.

Follow the link on Bangkok Bank given above,  it's all there,  you can transfer out to your UK bank via Swift etc. or anywhere with 0.5% fees,  cash out has 2% fees plus in baht using their exchange rate, usually about 2.5% lower than mid-market... See my post above. 

 

Disclaimer : I have never had a foreign account,  only my understanding. Ask the bank to be sure... 

 

P. S.  £20k is no where near enough for pension visa as GBP/THB will certainly drops below 40 at some point in the next few months. 

Thanks, the 20K is not for extension,I already have that in bank THB for several

years now, just have 20K in pension money saved up here,my daughter brings it,

i should have exchanged it when it first went down !, who knew, hoping one day ?

it will go up again,or the THB will go down,both wishful thinking I suppose.

Internet and or post simple, I cannot see why people put themselves through the pain of visiting the Imm Office when they have alternatives. And when they say they don't trust the net , ?? I cannot belive such a statement as they can be such keyboard warriors on TV ????

The Immigration website has improved,they no longer sign their own security

certificates,and is https now,so secure,

But they found that buses, vans and taxis at the airport were properly regulated. Prices were properly displayed and everything was above board.

So just a bunch of lying tourists !, everyone will know they are

telling the truth,except the Krabi land transport authority,

When is ANYTHING above board in Thailand.

Thai Rath said that Precha was a lustful pervert with mental problems.

A 1000 THB fine is not going to cure him, expect he will be

back up the Railway station next week,they need to keep

a close eye on him,before the photos do not satisfy his fantasies

and he goes after the real thing.and some young girl has to suffer.
