What happens with money in the bank when the farang dies?
I've kept my main account in only my name, but I have made arrangements with the bank that allow my wife to withdraw funds from it. So, in the case of my death or a debilitating illness, she can do that. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
The Russian army is unable to break through in eastern Ukraine and is compensating for limited progress on the front by carrying out airstrikes on residential areas, states Colonel Ants Kiviselg, Commander of the Defense Forces Intelligence Center of Estonia. “The Russian summer offensive, ongoing for two months mainly in eastern Ukraine, has essentially bogged down in fierce Ukrainian defense and turned into a tactical-level combat operation, where the Russians try to keep pushing forward despite heavy losses,” he noted. He also added that the Russian offensive in the Sumy region has been largely halted by Ukrainian defenders, despite Russia’s initial gains in that direction. Russia’s offensive stalls: Estonia weighs chances of a breakthrough in Ukraine . -

Accident CCTV Captures Moment Driver Runs Over Drunk Swedish Tourist’s Head Outside Pattaya Bar
You think the driver saw the Swede lying in the road and simply didn't care ???.... ... while I do agree with many of your comments, I think you've over-egged the bitterness towards Thailands drivers on this one... ... From the video I see an extreme example of inattention and careless driving. (obviously combined with the idiocy of getting so drunk and falling unconscious in the middle of a car park !) It seems that most people instinctively look to blame others rather than reflect on their own actions when involved in a vehicular accident. A recent incident illustrated this perfectly: the driver immediately got out and started blaming my wife - despite being clearly and entirely at fault. Both the police and the insurance assessment confirmed it. There’s a widespread reluctance to accept personal responsibility, and I’d agree that this mindset is perhaps more pronounced here than in some other places. You also make an important point regarding the perceived socio-economic hierarchy on the roads: between luxury cars, cheaper vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians. That dynamic does seem to play a role in how people behave and are treated on the roads. That said, it's encouraging to see that things are evolving. Some areas are certainly becoming more civilised in their approach to road use and shared responsibility. -
