Don't give Thai banks a gift with nothing given in return.
Banks use "Dynamic Currency Conversion" . It's a polite term for daylight robbery. If I want cash, I use my Thai savings passbook. No fees. I would only use a Thai ATM in an emergency. -

UK Flat – Sell or Keep Renting? Expats Who’ve Been There – What Did You Do?
Extra info: I just found out if I keep the flat I can come and stay in the UK for a month and update my pension address to the the UK address, the government pensions will then be restored to the then current UK annual pay rate, then I can go back to Thailand and the pay will stay the same. So it might be worth doing that every five years or so taking into account an annual pension rate rise of 3% every year. -

UK Flat – Sell or Keep Renting? Expats Who’ve Been There – What Did You Do?
I am in the US and over the last ten years came close to buying and renting several properties. But the rampant squatting that was going on became a big concern so I did not buy. One bad tenant/housing issue can break you if you are on the edge of profitability. And if not living in the area, addressing problems can be huge. Growing up some of my friend's parents had a property or two and me and his kid were always the ones going to paint the house, fix the window, replace the water heater on a weekend, etc. I invested in income producing things like bond ETFs, dividend paying stocks and ride the ups and downs and collect the interest or dividends. More peace of mind. Now, if you are planning on returning to the UK, then keeping a property maybe as your permanent address, not telling you are in Thailand then maybe keeping the property As to a good tenant, yeah one can pull the credit reports and all the standard stuff, but the past doesn't guarantee the future. A co worker who with his Father has several properties in San Diego County, California does this. when he gets an application from a potential renter, he goes and surprise knocks on their current place where they are living. If he sees the place is well maintained and not a pig sty then he says he has found that to be the most reliable way to determine the quality of the renter. A plausible approach me thinks. -

Border Army Chief Activates Emergency Border Plan Following Landmine Blast
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army, General Phana Klaewplotthuk, has ordered the activation of the Chakrabongse Phuwanat Plan, a military response strategy, following a landmine explosion on 23 July, that seriously injured Thai soldiers near the Cambodian border. The order was issued to the 1st and 2nd Army Regions, responsible for security along the Thai-Cambodian frontier, particularly in the area of Huai Bon, An Ma Pass, Nam Yuen district, Ubon Ratchathani. The incident took place at coordinates VA 950911, a known operational zone along the contested border. The explosion left Sergeant First Class Phichitchai Bunkhorat of Infantry Battalion 14 severely injured, resulting in the loss of his right leg. He is currently receiving treatment at Nam Yuen Hospital. Names and Injuries of the Wounded Soldiers: 1. Sgt. 1st Class Phichitchai Bunchula – Right ankle severed by explosion 2. Pvt. Supakit Pongthai – Chest pain, hearing impairment 3. Pvt. Phisit Senadee – Chest pain, abdominal pressure 4. Pvt. Seksan Lunjak – Chest pain, difficulty breathing 5. Pvt. Jakkrit Butte – Hearing loss, bleeding from right ear In response, General Phana has instructed both Army regions to prepare for immediate deployment under the Chakrabongse Phuwanat Plan. He, along with key military leaders—including Lieutenant General Chaipruk Duangprapat, Deputy Chief of Staff; Lieutenant General Boonsin Phatklang, Commander of the 2nd Army Region; and Major General Theeranan Nanthakhwang, Director of Military Intelligence, will visit An Ma Pass on 24 July to assess the situation and oversee operations. Also following the incident, the Second Army Region has ordered the temporary closure of border checkpoints in Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin and Buri Ram provinces. This includes popular cross-border tourist destinations such as the Ta Muen Thom, Ta Muen Tot, and Ta Kwai temple sites. The closure, effective 24 July, is a response to what Thailand alleges to be the deliberate planting of new landmines on Thai territory. Army spokesman Major General Winthai Suvari confirmed that the landmine explosion was the latest in a series of hostile incidents along the border. The Army strongly condemned what it described as an inhumane and unlawful act by Cambodia, stating that it violated humanitarian principles and international agreements. “This act occurred well within Thai sovereign territory. The Royal Thai Army demands accountability from the Cambodian side,” Major General Winthai declared. “Such actions are a grave threat to peace and stability along the border.” He added that the Thai Army will use every mechanism available to protect its personnel and Thai civilians, reaffirming a firm commitment to national security. The situation marks a significant escalation in Thai-Cambodian tensions, prompting renewed concerns about the fragility of border relations between the two nations.
