especially when on a global liquidity chart it's actually lost against even the most basic index fund. But it's nice for the math ignorant to think they are winning.

Wait till they print billions to give 10,000฿ away to millions of the new digital wallet program. 6 months later the conversion rate will be even more favorable.

@Euan *******

do you really think your ex was the first person to sell 2nd hand clothes in Thailand? Every city has markets full of shops selling second hand clothes.

@Sam *****

nailed it, people see what they want to see and no matter where they travel, they always bring themselves.

@Nigel *************

no doubt that was the reason. But I'm not sure how staying for 5 months has anything to do with a conversation about going in and out more than 6 times in a year. I was responding to the idea you are saying things have changed "big time".

@Nigel *************

been in by air 7 times each year the last 2 years in a row and never stopped at all.

@Peter **************

just block them, if everyone did that they'd only be talking that way too each other. I hardly see them at all anymore.

@Brandon ***********

hopefully you don't ever have any issues. Thinking about it even Thais laugh when talking about the ridiculous contrast between transfers simplicity and every other service in the Thai banking system. They'll commonly transfer a person's entire life savings off to scammers at the drop of a hat, but ask them for the information about the account they just sent your life savings to and you'll lose hours of your life trying to get it. If you ever do, which isn't likely. It's quite insanely baroque and antiquated.

@Ivan ***********

I've always done it that way and never understood the fees everyone was paying until now lol

@Brandon ***********

transfers are ahead, nothing else is, commonly have to go back to the original branch you opened the account at for various basic services. Or try to close a loan and get a title lean released, it can take weeks for a 2 minute job.
