Re: Foreign applicants for Thai bank accounts facing new crackdown
I was just getting my paperwork ready to open a Thai account for my visa, and now I’m not sure what to do. Has anyone managed to get an account recently? Maybe try one of the big banks in person-Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn-with your passport, visa, and proof of address.

Re: Secure lock up storage
I’ve used a spot called Hua Hin Self Storage on Soi 94 (just off Phetkasem Road). They’ve got small lockers and units, 24/7 CCTV, and you can rent month-to-month.

Re: Khao Takiab sunbeds
Near the pier you’ll find a row of sunbeds with umbrellas and drink service. They’ll bring beers, cocktails or soft drinks right to your spot-just wave or press the little button on the table.

Re: American academic charged with lese-majeste
Hard to believe they’d charge him just for a lecture
