Re: 10 year visas now available, can somebody tell immigration
After what happened to the "to big to fail" globan US banking player, I humbly consider that in banking, anything can happen to any bank, anywhere. The only security a consumer would have is to have it in a country (like Switzerland) where the government gives a guarantee of around €100'00...

Re: 10 year visas now available, can somebody tell immigration
I would not trust a Thai bank with 3 million left in an account...if the amount was 1 million perhaps.... And what about people who lost their savings with US and Iceland banks ???? Very true. All the more reason if you can do so in your country, to put savings in banks within countries that guaran...

Re: Farang buying a house with a Thai lady
The best thing if you plan to get married, is to put the house in the name of a family member before marriage. Thus you live as a guest and in case of a split up, you don't get ripped off. I don't understand that at all. Are you saying instead of putting it in your future wife's name you put it in ...

Re: Police corruption, drug tested in Hua Hin
Looks that that there is a high level of jealousy towards foreigners, within the boys in brown with their shiny golden wings. And seems that the issue gets worse if you have a chesty Thai girlie by your side! How much longer will such open corruption be tolerated by the top brass of Thai governance ...

Re: Thai police website leaks details on 800,000 people
The article says that the data was inherent to "visits" of the Thai Police? What kind of "visits" would these mean? This could lead to understand that in Thailand the police can just walk into any home they target and start to racket the residents and post their identity on the i...

Re: BBC journalist faces five years in jail for reporting Thai fraud
The case is real scary. Farangs seem brave to still buy property under leasehold, in such a lawless environment!
