SCB in Phuket town lent us 5.5 million towards our house.

I acted as garuntor for my partner. We are not married, she doesnt work, and I work outside of Thailand. We do however have a child together. We agreed to pay back 50,000 a month (fixed @ 4% for the first year). I provided my company deets ( based in Singapore ) and 6 mths pay slips, my passport etc.... She provided her paperwork and our sons information. We both had to go to the private hospitol and have a full medical on acceptance.

Reading other stories I guess we were lucky. The timing was good as it was just before the global recession apperently kicked inn.

choppy

Choppy...how long ago was this, as I did much the same as you with SCB a few years ago, only difference was I work in Thailand...

Recently heard two different stories, one says, as a Farang you cannot co-sign on the loan anymore for a Thai national, heard from a different source you can...

Not that I am in the market for another loan, just trying to figure out what exactly the polices are "this week"...

It was November just gone, all went really smoothely.

so it would appear then, a farang can co-sign...thanks for the info, think we can put this one to bed for now..

In my case with SCB, same as you, actually one of the easier things I have had to do in Thailand, literally went to bank once, and think it was 2 signatures from me and done deal.
