Re: Big increase in air fares

You could look at what is available from Don Muang, and if anything suits, take the free shuttle bus that runs regularly between BKK and DMK.

Re: Russia

It seems that Russia Today (RT), a favourite source for one of our most prolific correspondents, had no hesitation in joining with other Russian propaganda sites in placing the blame for the Moscow terror attack on Ukraine. https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/mediabites/mediabites-2024-ep11/103647366 ...

Re: Duvet, bed spreads and sheets

I bought 100% cotton fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillow slips from this mob nearly 3 years ago.

https://www.lazada.co.th/shop-bedding/utici-123486845/

The sheet still fits perfectly, and the other bits are in great condition.

They will be my first stop when I need to replace.

Re: United Airlines vs American

Flying in/out of U.S., Singapore or Eva. Alaska Airlines flying from West Coast to East Coast. Singapore Airlines' current prices are crazy. So even though they are my preferred airline when flying to Oz, they are off the list for this trip. EVA is certainly on the list. For internal, last time I f...

Re: United Airlines vs American

For those who have flown with both from Thailand to the US, which airline offers the better product in Economy and/or Premium Economy. Is cost a factor? A trade off between cost and convenience. For example, I am willing to pay a bit more for quicker transit times, but am not interested in flights ...

Re: Bank Account(s)

I intend to confirm with Immo, but I like to be armed with as much information as I can before approaching them.

I will report back here with the results.

Re: Bank Account(s)

Here you go, maaka - and thanks again to Woody. This is the entire text of his PM, with one irrelevant line omitted. I hadn’t noticed the question as the title didn’t spark my interest. However the 600k deposit will almost certainly qualify even though it doesn’t follow the rule for a foreign transf...

Re: Bank Account(s)

I PM'd Woody, who came back with a very informative response.

He said he had not looked at my OP - I assume because it didn't, on the face of it, relate to visa issues.

If he is happy for me to do so, either he, or I, can repost his response here.

Re: US Presidential election odds

Biden vs Trump, :-k You trying to prevent glalt and LYM from airing their Right Wing views? No - more a case of hoping (unsuccessfully it seems) that some would see how hopelessly off-topic they were straying. The two you mention are perfectly entitled to air whatever "wing" views they like. Trump ...

I am looking to do a 30 day entry stamp to O retirement conversion in the middle of the year at Udon Immo. I currently have THB600k in a term deposit account with Kasikorn, which is never accessed.
