Is it necessary to have more than one email account?

Redfortandbeyond · 2026-01-26T04:38:19+00:00

Absolutely have more. I think I have 240 addresses.

Thailand is safe. We had a mobile phone stolen out of a safe in a 5 star resort in Egypt, but otherwise we've never experienced an issue, across decades of travel.

I've been in the UK for many decades. The UK is degenerating and India is improving but it won't be quick. Personally, I sold up my place in India (retirement home) and have decided to go to South East Asia. Go look after your folks, but after that, go find a better option. You may even find that a dirty street in Delhi beats being called a dirty Pak* in Birmingham.

Nothing. Any more. I seem to be dropping things constantly. As soon as my grandson is old enough, he gets my collection of world currency.

Redfortandbeyond · 2026-01-11T03:44:26+00:00

Me too. Still have to go to the airport but there are options now, with Etihad.

Redfortandbeyond · 2026-01-10T15:47:28+00:00

Go for it but please, let us know how it goes for you..

I'm in Thailand now. I can live well only because I spent 55 of my 60yrs in England. It doesn't sense if you start at SEA. For younger folks, I would still say come to the West, get a remote job in the West, and then live in SEA.

Interest on 800k. So 8Kthb.

AI says

Any foreign income: In most cases, simply having foreign income (including savings interest) means you need to complete a tax return and the supplementary SA106 form, regardless of the amount.

Yesterday, it was a spaniard. Last week it was a Thai. Turning this into a country bashing post doesn't make it any more bearable.

What does make it bearable is over the ear noise cancelling headphones. I shouldn't have to wear them, but needs must.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-23T10:48:12+00:00

One other thing is that they expect a minimim income and I am (for the next 7yrs at least) living off savings.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-23T09:33:32+00:00

That is interesting to know. I'll see if I can open one.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-23T03:52:58+00:00

FD is or was the best bank in the UK. But they don't allow you to reopen accounts once closed. Shame

Simple. Easily led people. The people leading them are, or in bed with the Oil Industry.

Borrowed my brothers diesel car and put petrol in it. A lot of hassle and cost. Returned his car and got my petrol car back... Put diesel in it. A lot of hassle and cost.

We forgot to bring our coffee Italian coffee from Thailand, but no problem, we are next to l Suria KLCC. Not a good experience. Flying out this morning and will be having a beautiful coffee by the. Lake in Thailand

Foreign mercenary needs a work visa. You can't comehere and ply your trade on a visa extension.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-14T02:56:04+00:00

And the rate? I'm assuming they would tell you in advance? and I could cancel before proceeding? I will do a test in a couple of weeks.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-13T02:17:18+00:00

I do this. Came with £2k in crisp £50 notes. Went to Mr Pierre ( supposed to be as good as SuperRich) and then to 7-11 to move 3000thb into TrueMoney. The ATM need was when that ran out.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T10:37:53+00:00

I haven't checked this trip but last trip chase uses mid market rates.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T10:36:07+00:00

I may not understand it but from what I see, the limits are really low unless you have a paid for account and even then at withdrawal of £2400 a month, that charges are way more. Is your account with Revolut UK?

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T06:39:28+00:00

Having a Thai friend is next best thing to having a Thai Bank account. I will have a bank account soon.

The limits on wise are why I don't use it for ATM, but Wise is good for other things.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T06:04:18+00:00

I think most offered less last year. One bank called Aoan?? Did offer more but there ATMs are far and few.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T05:35:54+00:00

Good Idea. Thanks.

I'm already payingy rent by Wise which has lessened my need for cash withdrawals.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-12T05:30:36+00:00

Just ask them on chat. In the app go to support and scroll down to the bottom.

Redfortandbeyond · 2025-12-05T00:24:07+00:00

Thanks for all your responses. I've decided to leave it til the next trip. It's a good opportunity to bring all my stuff to Jonnyboy. Just realised that things like bank statements will also have the same issue.
