How to retire in Thailand
yes, good question @martyn1 That was my thought too. As long as my money is in Thai economy ... @ CW I got negative reply - no investment / trading etc. Plain vanilla deposit. Ok. I went to Bangkok Bank HQ @ Silom. The Big Kahuna manager said "yes, please buy Bangkok Bank mutual fund bonds" it will work just as good as deposit. (not a dumb teller, real manager). So 2020 I "bought" 6 months something for 100K. I got passbook which was good and was accepted (at CW at non-formal request) and in 6 months I saw I made (mutual fund made for me, how sweet!) 1.700 thb on the updated passbook. So I guess it was not wise at all. -

HSBC Global Money Debit Card
Yup... If you already have an HSBC account its handy... I've used it all over. But, Wise is also very handy.... I link both to Apple Pay and have found both useful... It really depends which currencies you wish to use - as HSBC Global money does not cover all currencies and neither does Wise. -

Billy Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" - is it better than anything by the Beatles?
I enjoy the music and I can relax to it. I also the big band music of the 1930s and 1940s as well as traditional jazz. I am not so keen on modern jazz from the 1960s though. -

Thailand’s Business Ease Ranking Plummets in Asia-Pacific: Survey
Possibly will have little effect in the medium term. You only have to see what 'western' politicians are doing to their economies to have doubts about the outcome. Of course there has always been corruption in high places; with characters the likes of Horatio Bottomley. But I would suggest that many of those who in past times went into politics later in life after making their mark in some other sphere, did so with a relative disinterest in the paltry remuneration it then offered. Nowadays, politics is often seen as a life-long, well-paid career opportunity by young people graduating from university where they studied the subject. The motivations are likely to be somewhat different. -

Getting a credit card
Of course the bank would say no, but if you were to present a bank book used as secured deposit to immigraiton, how could immigration tell? in my BBL book, it just looks like any other termed deposit book with regular interest payment in, no withdrawal out, just how immigratin like your accounts to be untouched -

Bus Crash Claims the Lives of Two Bank Employees in Bangkok
It looks like she got hit before entering the U-Turn, by a bus that was making the next right turn. Like I said earlier, I am guessing she moved across the front of that bus from the left lane, or from the middle of both lanes (anticipating the bus was U-Turning also). I find it hard to believe she was just sitting in the lane waiting to U-Turn, on a motorcycle, that just makes no sense. -

I Voted Today
You do remember that Trump lost Georgia by 12000 votes. That was .0012% of almost 11 million of the state's population. Or Gore's loosing Florida by 537 out of 582000. A few votes can make a big difference. -

Bus Crash Claims the Lives of Two Bank Employees in Bangkok
You are correct... 'no reference in the article to her riding into oncoming traffic'... but the description of events certainly implies that is exactly what the motorcyclist did - as others have pointed out 'oncoming' can mean many things... ... i.e. if crossing a road, there is 'oncoming traffic'... the word is not specifically referencing travelling in the opposite direction to the flow of traffic which you seem to imply. Nevertheless, it appear the motorcyclist turned into a lane with 'oncoming traffic'... or would the term 'incoming traffic' be better ??? or approaching traffic.... Thats the semantics dealt with... ---- The incident itself. Either the motorcyclist pulled out in-front of the bus after making a U-turn. Or, the motorcyclist was slowing to make a U-turn and was hit by a the bus. The article is not completely clear which. -
