Re: Your solutions on 3 million baht to find longevity here

With B 20'000 a month expenditure you'll last 12 years and a few months,

with B 15'000 a month expenditure you'll last 16 years and a few months.

I leave it up to you to decide. :cheers:

Re: Community Supplied Water Cost

Hi T+C,

The developer can charge the house owners at his own discretion, as it's nothing to do with the Tessaban.

Please bear also in mind that this water is not suitable for the swimming pool (cracking of tiles) as it's containing a lot of calcium and the water is hard.

Re: Thai bank interest?

Sorry N. but your interest quoted is IMHO for 12 months less 15 % tax.

You better check this out again.

All Thai banks have reduced the rates this year twice already.

Re: Thai bank interest?

JG must be before tax.

Almost all banks state their interest rates, but the tax is not mentioned.....a bit misleading

Re: Thai bank interest?

Just to point out that any time deposit is subjected to a tax of 15%.

Not to incur any tax, invest in funds which offer above banks interest rates.

Such as Krungsri (for investments) offer between 3-4 % (annually) with no tax.

Drive to any Central Department Store or Robinsons and you'll find your TOPS Supermarket. BKK/Phuket for ex.
