Are they still the haunt of "Financial advisors " , like the club in Chiang Mai , where one such man scammed several people then buggered off to the UK to ply his trade, and the guy selling shares in Racehorses ,the biggest problem attending those clubs is to know who to trust ...... regards worgeordie

Thai's have been detecting cash in birthday cards etc ,sent from overseas for years, maybe it's the metallic band in the cash , I had to send 650 quid (old money) back to UK so my daughter could change them in bank ,I rolled it up into small tubes and inserted it into the corrugation of a cardboard box ,and send it to her with some stuff in it , and it got through ok . regards worgeordie

You do know that you can make an appointment online , free , last year in and out in under a hour , already made a booking for April , and I know I need 12 month statement ,and been with Bangkok Bank , I know I need to preorder it 5 days before the appointed day ,bank letter same day. if you are organised no need for agent . "It's that time of year so went to the bank for the immigration letter." I thought the agent would have done that for you ? " Spent 4 hours on the bike today, tooing and frowing, now hot and bothered. " I thought the point of an agent is to save you time regards worgeordie

Government to roll out new measures to tackle Thai indebtedness
worgeordie replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Government is always trying to help people in debt ,forgive debts,free money, guaranteed prices for farmers , teachers ,civil servants are upto their eyes in debt, because it's so easy to get loans , now what about the people who have been cany with their money and saved up a few bob for their retirement ,they get low interest rates which don't cover the real rate of inflation, so the value of their savings is just melting away ,talk of lowering the rate , to help those in debt ,maybe better to be in debt ? regards worgeordie -
