Re: Opening Bangkok Bank new account

The main reason I opened a Bangkok Bank account. I don't want to have to change my direct deposits from the State of New Mexico, State of Texas, the VA and SS.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.

Re: Decent draft pint?

I drink all sorts, always chilled regardless of taste but NEVER with ice. What is that all about? Its handy out n the sticks with an insulated bucket to keep a chill on the beer, though you need to drink at a good pace to avoid the watery beer, we usually load few poly boxes with ice n bottles/tins...

Re: Udon Immigration extension (New form)

For comparison the cost for a 30 month period of further leave to remain in the UK is £1033 plus a £500 immigration health surcharge even if your working and paying national insurance and tax.

Re: GBP big loser from Brexit (while EUR is big winner)

The pound will come back eventually as will the UK economy , there are far too many with fingers in the pie to let it slip or fail long term.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.

It will never make it to the courtroom. Fair play to old Trump hes done or tried to do most of the things he promised , created a lot of jobs and boosted the economy with wages up. I didnt think he'd see it threw but hes done good so far, still not convinced he will get the second term but if he do...

Re: Expat Activities While Visiting Udon

In my opinion its best to discover it yourself , drinking in bars and hearing a load of information is'nt the best way to gauge how living there will be, my suggestion would be to spend a week or so getting yourself a routine and see what you enjoy and what you dont. Think about which hobbies you wi...

Re: A 69-year-old man says he identifies as a 49-year-old and wants his age legally changed

The one certainty in life, growing old and eventually croaking it, age defines many things for a good reason.
