Krungsri recently advertised 6 month CDs at 5.1% for new accounts, at 5 million baht minimum invested. Offer ends March 31st. But I see some folks say you would have to pay tax on that?

Roger that. I will be having to get my knees replaced ASAP. Looks like I will need to get a medical extension or even go ahead and shoot for a non-o. Gotta have to do it at that giant BKK Immigration office. Sure not looking forward to that! I hear there is a small office in south BKK, but it deals with migrant laborers, not folks like us.
