To each his own I say, plus getting 30,000 baht interest on a 800,000 baht balance I think someone better do their math again on this one! I married here but use the 800,000 method for as long as I can remember, never did the marriage since it was easy prior to just go to the Embassy and get a letter when they stop I used the bank book. My brother on the other hand, going on 22 years living here year after year I hear the same stuff in March when he does the process again. After all these years he has been running around for days getting the paperwork in order total this year JOMTIEN 23 pages of nonsense! For two years they stopped coming to his house but his year they had his wife scan some code on the desk, that they will communicate through this code, when they decide to make a visit they will notify her when that happens he has to run to the bank and update his bank book. This year told him he must untouch the 400,000 baht 4 months after his date, and must be intact 4 months prior to application! On top this year they wanted the I.D. of his two youngest kids, of course he had to bring the house book with him this is on top of yearly going to the Ampur to get a document they are still married. I heard this during Breakfast this morning it never gets tiring does it, said the IO, noted to him and his wife the reason for all this stuff is because of the Chinese, he being on American Chinese born and raise is treated as 22 years upstanding as far as they know LOL, like he is some communist MF who came yesterday. This mess is because of one bank BB located on Sukhumvit, and Klang, Pattaya handling out saving account to tourist like candy for large commission under the table! The own goddamn doing like always. Being the brother I am, I going to loan him 800,000 baht slowly up his account not to raise a red flag to his account by next year time. The guy had an heart attack in May of last year this government is NUTS! they need to all look in the mirror and see where the problems is! 😂
