I think most tourists to Betong come from Malaysia, and drive or catch the bus. They can enlarge the airport as much as they want but no one's coming.

Same visa as me! No one's ever asked me, but I live in an unfashionable provincial backwater, on the fringes of a war zone.

Another hour, another hub!

WTF have Muslims got to with this? This was Phatthalung province which is predominantly (90%) Buddhist, there's no mention of religion in the report. Some folks don't have scoobie .

As an alternative you can use Monzo, which is a licenced bank in the UK, who partner with Wise for International transfers. You can integrate your Wise account into your Monzo app so International transfers via Wise work seamlessly. .

Depends on the type of account. I have a HSBC Premier account which requires I maintain a minimum total balance of SGD200,000 across all my savings and investment accounts. But if you already have a Premier account in the UK you can simply open an account in Singapore, no need for an additional minimum balance in Singapore. Requirements to open an account are pretty standard, passport and proof of address, details of income and a tax number.

Very true. The Singapore Dollar has appreciated some 20% against the Thai Baht since 2020, which has more than compensated for price rises in Thailand during the same period.

I was suggesting nothing of the sort, just highlighting the fact that de-banking in the UK is a possibility; something banking in Singapore obviates.

Exactly, so what's your point?

Singapore Dollar to Thai Baht exchange rate is fairly stable and the Singapore economy and banking system are solid. It has traded around Bht24 to the SGD the last twenty years, makes forward planning a little easier.

When governments don't listen the disaffected often take up arms. Southern Thailand is no different. All prophets are fake, you're foaming at the mouth again.

No, if anything the numbers are higher, but that's victims from both sides of the divide, some 60% of victims have been local Muslims, many of whom have been killed by fellow Muslims. What I dispute is your simplistic label of 'Islamic Terrorism' - it demonstrates a lack of understanding of the roots of the conflict, and the complexity of current insurgency; it isn't simply a religious conflict. There are conflicts between the state and the various factions of the insurgency, the state and the local population, and between the various factions of the insurgents, and between the insurgents and the local Muslim population. But given your posting history, whether reflecting on the city of Leicester, Halal tourism, or the southern conflict, regardless what I say Islam and Muslim are trigger words that have you frothing at the mouth, consequently you have scant regard for facts.

Give it rest, you spout the same ignorant clap-trap topic after topic.

HSBC Singapore aren't about to debank me because I'm not resident.
