Is HSBC Thailand a qualifying bank to park my 800,000 baht?
An "online account" with a foreign bank will NOT be accepted by Immigration. THINK about it. Immigration wants a Letter from the Bank verifying the account and balance AND they want photocopies of your updated bank book, including the page with your name and account number and the page(s) showing the current balance. I seriously doubt they'll accept a print out of a "screen capture" from your phone as proof of your supposed balance. They expect the money to be in a THAI bank so that if you need it (to live on or to pay hospital bills and such) you can access it literally immediately. Which is also why they do NOT accept "But, but, I've got more than 800k in my 401k or Social Security or (insert overseas investment plan here)" as proof of funds. People have been trying for years to scam Immigration by pretending they have the money to meet the requirements - but don't want to put it in a Thai bank because "waaaa - the bank clerk will steal it all" or "waaaa - I can make .25% more interest per year from my home bank". Sheesh, some years ago, some Immigration offices wouldn't even accept it if your money was in a Fixed Term savings account because they wanted to see transactions on your account to prove you were using the money to live on. (That was a dumb requirement and now places like Jomtien have no problem with the money being in a Fixed Term account as you can still access it almost immediately if the need arises.) But they will NOT accept things like "Gain 123" investments (from Bangkok Bank) as proof of funds even if you have more than the required amount because you can't access those funds immediately if the need arose. So if you aren't going to put the money in a Thai bank then you'll have to go the "agent" route and hope for the best. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
You can get M to F cables (I have 2) but if you use them as an extension cable, they won't lock together.
