My name is first; Thai wife second. They withhold 15% tax on earned interest. Wife's individual accounts don't have withholding tax. My individual account does. Wonder if joint account had her name first, whether or not tax would be withheld...... No big deal, as it's just an additional amount added to a single line on Schedule 3 of US 1040 tax return, for a one for one tax credit.
The people that stay at their rural homes are happier than the ones chasing money. 10 years later at my wifes home in the country, the same people are there and smiling, nothing changed. Bangkok people have changed alot though
