That’s something I’ve missed! Thanks mate.

Looks like a hassle to do but I’ll give it a shot, might need some help, to make sure everything’s compliant.

Totally!!

For foreigners, Thai baht account balances aren’t covered by the Deposit Protection Agency, meaning there’s no insurance to safeguard your funds.

Essentially, if anything goes wrong, you have no guaranteed protection over your money.

I guess when your a grown man and English is your first language there shouldn’t really be any reason to not do things yourself.

Past two years I’ve been here I think I’ve saved in excess of 120,000+THB in so called agent fees through DIY

If you’ve taken the time to understand your problem, you can ask a clear question and get better answers faster. This can save you time and make things move along quicker.

On the other hand, if you ask a vague question, you’ll get a vague answer and might end up asking the same thing again weeks later, missing the chance to solve the problem sooner.

I’ve found this group to be an invaluable resource during the past couple years I’ve lived here, helping me stay informed.

However, I’m not a fan of people who show no initiative and ask questions that could easily be answered with a quick Google search. I just scroll past those and look for what I need.

But constant complaining is really just annoying. Like gosh it’s like someone just discovered they live in a community with diverse opinions for the first time in their life. It’s like driving on the road mate… good drivers and asshole drivers.

Easy solution: go and buy a free hold condo in your name.

I’m of the opinion why buy into a system which doesn’t afford you fair and reciprocal treatment like your home country offers.

Problem solved in five seconds: buy a plane ticket to Singapore and cancel it on arrival.

My attitude of Thai people after two years: Thais are xenophobic and just like money, Thai is all image but absolutely zero substance, absolutely useless at solving anything solution at all.

Unless you’re here for a short term holiday, or career break. Absolutely zero reasons to stay here long term. Can’t wait to bloody well leave to be honest.

I’m white on the outside but brown on the inside. It’s beyond frustrating to be treated like I’m some clueless tourist from the UK or USA, like I’ve just landed in Thailand yesterday. You’re forever going to be treated as an alien and will never integrate.

Like seriously, other than the fact I’m wrapping up my obligations here, the countries quite shit, like what is exactly here that a proper country like Australia can’t beat. Go to Australia mate, better country.

This conversation is clearly about banking.

Unless you’re joking about not having an account, you’ve had every chance with all the available free information online to improve your situation. But instead, it seems you’ve chosen to be immature and waste time chatting with another random person online.

If you really want to prove something, start by getting a bank account. I bet I can get my fourth before you even manage to open your first.
