I have used my Nationwide flexiplus debit card ( it used to be basic flexi but upgraded when offered what I considered a good deal for 13 pounds sterling per month which you can easily make up especially when drawing larger amounts over time. ( I usually draw between 30k and above then transfer it i...

As an after thought on my friends observations re age.. If I might add there is a lesson for all of those under seventy to contact Peter while you have time to enquire about health insurance or loose out when the cover will be needed most in your later years. I fortunately have cover and intend to k...

Hello Peter, Than you for your much appreciated response and valued information. I have already passed on your advice and he is going to go for the benefits you suggest. He will be using the private hospital facilities whenever possible / convenient so it really does make sense to go for the maximum...

Hi Marshbag, I consider opening the 'Happy Seniors Account', mentioned by you. Of course there is this nagging doubt whether Udon immigration will accept the 800,000 k in this account type for the annual extension of the visa. What is your experience? Have you successfully used this account? Many t...

;) We all have our own ideas on how it works best for us but I ask:- Is it really worth it? OK the monthly dividend of 2140 Baht/month works out to be 3.21% on 800K (simple interest) but one still must import currency to live. To Mashbags and others who have 800K FIXED investments accounts in Thaila...

I have sorted out the problem this year but next year might not be so lucky , i need to know what over expats are doing to get over this problem how are you investing 800000 bahts to get a little interest but not having the problem of up dating your pass book when needed , pointing me in the right ...

If so calls to there using TOT as an alternative to online facilities, although more costly can be accessed using 007 + country code + city area or 008 and ditto for the rest. I...

I used my passport and took along a signed copy of my wifes house papers in case they needed it for proof of my residence, they did not need this.

I appreciate this could be posted in another section but thought on behalf of the members it would get more attention here. As with the information I posted last year, I would like to do likewise with the new fixed acc. I have just opened. This one also provides free accident insurance while the acc...

When is the best time to travel from Udon traffic wise, especially on reaching Bangkok to avoid to much congestion ( if possible ) please. I will be going on a full tank of fuel ( DMax 3.0 ) and wonder if there is a convenient stop, possibly Korat or after where I can re fuel and let the dogs and me...

mb, click on this: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Mittr ... =9&t=m&z=9 It should bring up a map, with a blue line showing the route. On the left of the page you should also see an alternative route, which you can either hover on, or click. Neither route involves Hwy 304, and the AH12 is far pref...

Marsh, as long as somebody doesn't know me and can't see my eyes, I try to keep irony and sarcasm away from my communication. No probs. Peter and thanks again for your input. Like yourself and many others I also believe that useless confrontational observations on any forum is wasted and negative t...

Sorry Jack, perhaps my reference to sounding thick should read am thick :lol: I was lead to believe it was Bang Saraing / Bang Sarang ? It,s actually Bang Saen but is as the OP states the other side of Chonburi and before Sriracha, maybe you passed it on your recent trip there. Let us hope it,s the ...
