My Thai adult son and his Thai wife want to get into a more serious long term savings / growth offering which hopefully would mature when they are both 60, perhaps 65 years old. And preferably with one of the larger more modern thinking Thai banks or the Govt. Savings bank.

We have asked at several Thai banks but the answer always seems to be 'no have' and a suggestion to lodge funds in short term deposit accounts (M, 6M, 12M, etc.)

Would appreciate any ideas / info members can share. Thanks.

computer says no!

Most banks offer investment services. Maybe you need to explain your goals and objectives more clearly to bank personnel and probably better to go to larger branches. For example this link is to the investment offerings for Bangkok Bank ... and click on thumbnail to see starting page with links.
