[emoji846]And you think you can just walk into UBS or Credit Suisse and open an account? Lol. FYI, some accounts pay you a negative interest rate.

Gweiloman Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 But if you ask them, they'll tell you, "My visa only costs 1900 baht." ????????My visa DOES cost me only 1900 baht. I choose to keep over 800k in the banks here (and have done so for years). Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I have an account with them, and I didn't say all my funds were in a savings or fixed term account. Far from it, actually. They are a bank. They want your money. They put it to work, they give you a portion of what they make from your money, and they keep the rest. Standard procedure. Not like this ridiculous visa system where you put money into a Thai bank to show you can afford to live here, but you can't actually use the money to live on here. Why do you think that is? It's a cheap foreigner loan to Thai banks, and they pay a pittance on the 800k, and why, because they know you are forced to deposit it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
