You seem overly critical of Thai banks being cautious....... Since many western banks went belly up and needed bail-outs due to non performing loans perhaps that is a good thing. Be careful over extending yourself and investing too deeply with this I think a loan would be obtainable using her and her father's land as collateral, has that option been explored.

To be honest I have been put off Air Asia now since they moved to Don Muang...got used to the easy access to the Swampy Airport. My taxi driver pointed out the new fencing on Highway 7 recently, East/South of where it becomes a Toll road, and said the plan is to make the whole length a toll-way to Pattaya.

Well they can't really do much about it and probably don't want to miss the 'rush'.....I believe the only source of water at the moment is Mabrachan out there on the dark side, and it is a concern to me as I get my water from there too. I am thinking Sabai Dee and their friends will be pouring gallons of it into the sea when I am left high and dry one day. I may have to have a well dug. Holiday Inns are sold off frequently.....

My mind wandered last night. I thought how different life was for my old mother growing up during the war, a child of 9-15, to a modern day kid who can't get their face out of their mobile phone and most important thing is having the latest model. And young men of that time having little choice but to get involved and face the ultimate sacrifice.... could those who rioted in London recently summon up that character. I remember seeing men with missing limbs when I was a kid, somewhat fascinated, morbidly, likely the result of WW2. I took a walk through the graveyard at Kanchanaburi some years back, a sobering experience, men dying at an age when I was really enjoying my life. We know nothing.

Well it is on Sunday, whether that is next week or the end of this week I can never quite figure out.

I might use Emirates, but Easy Jet...... don't really do these hops to obscure European airports. As someone else sad Easyjet pricing is normally 50 cents for the flight plus $250 for the add-ons, +$20 to take a dump on the plane.

I always get there too soon....... the ride to the airport is 1.5 hours at most, except when...... I came back from the airport last night...whizzed along well within the usual 1.5 hours, but in the opposite direction there was quite a tailback for a stretch of a km or so. Unsure of the cause but the stretch before the motorway split off, at about km 80 is always heavy, a lot of trucks, one accident and things are going to be bad.

History Of The World (Part 1)

Well I kind of got that impression going down the Chao Phraya river in one of those long tail boats some decades back, but your 'Bond moment' sounds like fun too!

There is a darned sight more poverty in the world, and there we go wasting money on flights and holidays.

Not sure what being a CU represents, but I do recall from my time in the USA being surprised at the small local banks and their lack of worldly services. In the little UK we have National banks who are experienced and accommodating to international needs. Buy travellers cheques!

Sounds like your USA bank is a problem here. If an intermediary bank gets used you can bet they want their piece of the action..... I would find a bank that is 'sure' about a few things.
