Still wrong, but as I said, this is off topic here and therefore I shan't discuss it.

I believe the above to be wrong but as it does not apply to the OP's situation it requires no clarification in this topic.

You probably mean the airport tax for international departures. This is currently THB 700 for Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok, payable by all passengers and included in the ticket price.

Every so often, we read about government officials complaining about "overtourism" and its detrimental effects on Thailand. Hence, the tourist fee can logically be viewed as a punishment for causing this damage to Thailand.

The logical Tha way will be to increase the the tourist fee.

By the end of the second quarter of 2026, the government will have a full year's data from the TDAC, including the mode of travel. It will be interesting to see what decision, if any, the government will make on the basis of that data.

Does this mean that tourists, who are not allowed to open a Thai bank account, will be given the opportunity to "create accounts with licensed digital operators under strict regulation from the SEC..."? I have a feeling that by the time the "Adherence to stringent anti-money laundering checks via Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols" is completed, the tourist's three-week holiday will already be over.

Do you need a Thai bank account, which tourists can't get, to "cash out" Bitcoin?

I meant to write "not helpful". Error in predictive text tapping on my phone.

I haven't experienced this problem. Where do you see these videos? In your post, you probably gave the links to some of the videos but I cannot see the links.

If you have a Thai friend living in Thailand to whom you wish to testatate any or all of your assets in Thailand, your situation is similar to that of the OP.

Correction: The OP is not married and doesn't want to get married. Therefore, your post is not helpful.

I suggest you go with your friend to the local district office. They have a standard form for a last will and testament and will help you in filling it out in a way that is foolproof. At the very most, a bank may need a court decision regarding the appointment of an executor of the testament before paying out money to the heirs designated in the testament. Banks want to safeguard against the possibility of statutory heirs (parents, siblings, descendants, etc) making claims after having paid already to the beneficiaries stated in the testament. Legally, it is the obligation of the executor of the testament, not of the banks, to research the existence of possible statutory heirs. Any person wanting to make a claim would have to sue the executor, not the banks, but at some banks the management may not know this.

The OP is not married not married and doesn't want to get married. Therefore, your post is nice helpful.

Try if restarting the computer helps.
