sorry but I am on a Non O retirement... opened mine actually in 50 minutes and that was only because they could not find the cards. Where in another desk. This was with BKK bank. K bank was even faster. Yes ... I have 2 accounts.

Not true everywhere. Oh they may say it on a card... but as with everything else in Thailand.... maybe but maybe not. Certainly I have never needed anything other than passport... visa stamp in it.... that is it. I have both BKK bank and K bank. Neither required anymore.

My average bill is 1200bht. Febuary that amount was reduced to 980. In March it went back to 1200. Then this month it jumped to 2500. I use 1 air con at night and set that to 25 degrees. So always the same usage. Also, they say that these present rates will stay until end of August. Someone's pockets are filling up. For the reality and/logic escape me and everyone else. 5555

that is wishful thinking. 50 /50 split? In the west there are laws setting out marital assets distribution. Here there are no protection for any foreigner. As for any child from the marriage... child support should be arranged. Unfortunately the mother will insist that said coverage will also include her other children. So good luck even with a lawyer... it is a much steeper hill to climb over here than in the West.

both FedEx and DHL are expansive... but lets face it.... more reliable than Thai Post. EMS here okay.... but for international in or out takes.far more time.

Had EMS from US took 4.5 weeks to get here. Thai Post lost it at arrival arport then ook 4 weeks to find it and get it up to us in Tak province. It only took 2 days from LAX to BKK.!

The trick is to send it by Registered Mail. Usually takes 17 to 16 days from US anyway. FED EX or DHL will cost somewhere around 150 US.

Great!

BKK Bank and K bank do not always require resistance doc. But couldn't hurt... even if you are long stay at hotel/ guest house
