krungsri 1.5% only gain account?

[proton]

Anyone manage to open one of these, only online accounts? Went into the bank and asked they said not for foreigner, but the ad is in Englsih! They said foreigner can only open a 1.5% 5 month fixed account in the bank.  Why is the only gain account only for Thais? blank look.

i have the 0.9 account, when opened 10 years ago it was 2.25%, they have the nerve to charge 50 baht if you withdraw more than twice in a month

That's exactly why I don't even have the 800k baht in Thailand.

 

The 800k baht invested in my home country, at over 5%, earns way more than the cost of the agent every year, and with the bonus I don't have to deal with immigration. 

 

The 800k baht is nothing more than a donation to a Thai bank. 

 

I continue to laugh at expats saying their extension only costs them 1,900 baht.  They don't factor in the loss of interest.

That is great. My 800.000 baht is in a Thai Bank account at 2.10%, I have several other Thai bank accounts, paying between 1.75% and 2.25%.

And what is more important, I don't have to deal with the almost 80.000 baht in exchange loss.

800.000 K is not a lot to some of us luckily, we tend to laugh at mugs paying thousands to corrupt IO's via agents just to save a small amount
