  1. Hi,

    All advice appreciated.

    I wish to purchase a condo in Bangkok at some point in the next 2 years. I have a savings account with Kasikorn Bank.

    I will be working in Qatar soon and intend to transfer monthly deposits to my Thai bank. I will state on the transfer form (from Qatar) 'For purchase of Condo'. I intend to do these transfers for around 2 years and then look for a decent condo.

    Is what I am thinking feasible or possible? Do I need to open a foreign exchange account say....UK Sterling account with Bangkok Bank? Do I need to know what the address of the condo will be at this moment in time?

    Any help appreciated.

  2. What is the name of the software? And what books are you using?

    Am a complete numbnuts when it comes to learning Thai, I learned German up to an advanced level in one year, but Thai seems to scare me to death.

    Maybe it was because a previous GF had the nickname Phet (Diamond), but I said it like spicy and everyone laughed

    it made me feel less confident.

    Or they thought you were calling her a duck (also Phet!).

  3. Has anyone tried the "Citibank Instant Rewards" for fast-track immigration leaving Thailand? and if so, can you pls describe your experience?

    I heard that if you have a Citibank credit card issued in Thailand, you can go the Citibank counter ("near row M") in the departures hall at Suvarnabhum airport and redeem 1,000 points in exchange for a fast track coupon? Is that correct? Is there more to it than that? Is the Citibank counter open 24/7? Thanks!
