Yes! I have done exactly the same with Kasikorn.

Hi Allan, I am also from Scotland. That’s a complex question and depends on many things. If you need the money to live on then it’s an easy answer..cash in and transfer to a Wise account. (Currently giving about 3.75%). If your question is about investment then gold has recently been hyped and increased in value exponentially due to risk in the last 12 months. And although the world is still a dangerous place and the value of gold is hedged to go higher. It could also just as quickly retrace significantly. So it’s a bit of a gamble. And if that £50k is your total pot then I’m not sure it’s a gamble I would take. The other thing is that gold in Thailand is high % 24k yellow gold (and there are lots of counterfeit around) whereas most U.K. gold (bullion) is produced by the mint and assayed accordingly. If you really insist on buying into gold within your budget. I would recommend buying gold brittania’s, 1 oz, 99.999% gold, from Wilkinsons Bullion in the U.K.

Or if you are happy to just get some tax free interest then open a cash ISA for the maximum allowed.

Regards, Rich

That’s the last thing I wanted to learn..as I’m coming down from Hua Hin for a weeks holiday! 🙄 Government needs to get a grip!

Sure you are with a proper bank? The mainstream banks should all be able to transfer money. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nine!

I can assure you that I am not colour blind and that my blue book is the same colour as my UK passport. However, to be legal, it has to be held in conjunction with property title deeds in my name.

@Ally ***********

I have a Blue book. I own my Condo Freehold. (As part of the 49% foreign ownership).

@Graham *****

Yep thanks Graham, understand that. But have heard that if money is transferred from Wise, and not by Swift Bank transfer, that there could be problems. Or is what i’ve heard incorrect?

@Hardev ******

It took about 4 weeks and yes they did come back for additional information. The information related to proof of having the money…and the problem for me was sending the proof on their small gb of data. However, I did manage, with some help, to eventually send it. We put it in a ‘File’ and zipped it. Problem solved!

Do not worry. Police and Temple will take care. Body will be cremated. Monks will hold service. If money available the cost is about 5000 baht per day..usually 2 days. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
