What are the best options for starting a savings plan for my child's education in Thailand?
Like many expats here in Thailand, i am separated however i want to do whats best for my 6 year old son and start to plan for his future.
Can someone recommend a company that gives clear advice on starting a savings plan if i want to put some money away each month for his future education.

Answer summary
An expat in Thailand seeks advice on starting a savings plan for their child's education. Commenters suggest various options including savings accounts with banks that offer insurance packages, low-risk deposits at Bangkok Bank, and investments in gold. Recommendations were made for consulting with a financial advisor (AIA) who speaks English, and some users proposed alternative investments like Bitcoin and buying land.

Put your money into the Bangkok Bank at a low risk deposit and low steady interest. Buy gold at scrap value.

Mogens Nygaard, yes you are right. I was only comparing current value to purchase value.

Buy property in his name and get a long lease on it so you can use the property.
Hire a good lawyer to draw up the deal.

Buying Stocks Like denominated in A ME R[gin Currency is something don jr would sugest. Frankly, putting it on a spin of a roulette wheel would be less risky. When Andrews son is 30 he could be mature enough to make decisions for himself.Rick *******

, I have purchased three houses and one property that my son will eventually inherit in Thailand. The 1 rai property has quadrupled in value over the 12 years that we have owned it. Tod *********
Yes. Lawyer it into the title

Interesting idea. Can a 6 year old "buy land"? And in a fashion where the, say, grandma can't just take it.

Banks have savings plans which includes life insurance and a bunch of other things in 1 package. They have like 5 year plans, 10, 15 and so on. If you have an account I would go visit them for more details

You won't earn anything of real value using a bank or savings account. You'll need to invest it. Take at least a small portion and buy some bitcoin. People will hate on this answer mostly because they have a poor understanding about it, but the upside potential is enormous. Be careful about letting other people invest your money. You will be parted from it very quickly.

Bitcoin is volatile but there is something there.

it's certainly worth a puntAndy *****

I have friends that have made millions off of it. They invested around 8 years back, before the craze haha. Me personally, I tend to invest in real estate and development projects only and that market has a high roi as well if you know what you are doing.
