I don't believe banks are very good vehicles for investment. (At the moment not very much is) HSBC wished to chat to me on that last time I passed through the UK and to be honest I laughed at their offerings.

The Green Mile

Ah, I think you mentioned this before, the requirement of having £50,000 with them is a bit steep.

Thanks...... How did you go about opening the Thailand account? (I have a UK HSBC account already)

This sounds like a way to go and has been recommended before.Since HSBC ATM machines are not found in Pattaya, how do you now go about getting cash and what is the cost?

Bangkok Bank charged 500 baht on my latest transfer, 50.815 is their current TT rate, while SCB rate is 50.85.I was wondering how SCB always managed to be slightly higher.

Aha the benefits of the strengthening £........

Double post....

Do you perhaps mean khao phat (whatever)....?But seriously, there is so much more to Thai food than 'fried rice'....

That's me made up for the week...........

The spiciest thing I ever ate was Som Tam at the Issahn festival at the #8 school. Even the TGF said it was too spicy. Normally seafood salad (Yam Talay) is the spiciest food I like to eat. Overly spicy food is a waste as it spoils the enjoyment and flavour of the other components..... it's a bit like the drunk in Abduls Curry House after a Friday night out, proving how tough he is asking the staff to 'make the chicken Vindaloo spicy' they will take the piss. He will likely eat it, suffer doing so, suffer in the taxi all the way home, and most certainly on the can a few hours later. I keep trying to get the TGF to cut back on the chilly (and I would say I can eat pretty spicy), but she keeps sneaking it back up. Ah well, keeps me regular.....

Oh okay, I am wary of mentioning rings while Villa is lurking, but let's have a few easy ones..... The Lord of The Rings (The Two Towers)

I am afraid so, I can only avoid it using the rare Aeon machines.

Well for some reason Bangkok Bank did require one of me (same branch) years ago, but the residence letter was easy, they just wanted to see my rental contract.... and copies of course. You did get a rental agreement didn't you?

Did you get the extras removed 'no ploblem' though?

Some recently arrived friends used RJ, but were rather negative about the whole experience. This time they used Thai and were similarly disposed.
