ah tony jo! ive listened to nearly all the bangkok podcasts! such a good intro and inspiration to go to thailand for 6 months. i leave in 10 days! thanks for all your good work!
I Live in the U.S. what do you think of setting up an account with the Bank of Bangkok they have a Branch office in New York City and Los Angeles California. I am a Military Retiree and this seems like a good way to set up the monthly EFT as long as I can Draw funds from the account once I live in Thailand.
great info on Paypal for sure. Officially you have to have residency in a country to have a bank account, but it sounds like Thailand is lax. Do they always speak English at the bank?
just set up a Bangkok Bank account and use the ABA # to do ACH transfers; Holders of US bank accounts can save on fees for international funds transfers by transferring funds from the United States to Thailand via the US Automated Clearing House system (US ACH) and Bangkok Bank's New York branch, google it for the link
Tony...I liked your video! I was in Thailand in 2007 for over 30 days and loved it! I was wondering what are the current conditions there now?? I've watched the news and really haven't heard much about the political problems. Thanks!
Hello, Your videos seems pretty helpful so far. I am currently a freshman college student. I would like to become an international student in Thailand starting on the fall of 2013, what would be some of your tips for a single female student taking that action? -Bao Yang
@549silver Political situation seems to be about as stable as Thailand gets. Lots of sabre rattling from both sides but it doesn't appear that any violence will happen soon. The election will be coming up in June so keep an eye on the news during that time. I cover more Thai news on my weekly podcast at Bangkok Podcast
จ้าฉนรักคุณที่สุด anyone tell me what this means? It is in reply to me telling a girl she has all my heart. Is she saying she loves me as much or they the love is one sided from me only and not her?!
What a beautiful lady at 3:56. I love Thailand and the people are so nice and friendly. My father had retired in Chiang Mai and loved it. I'll be going to back again and am seriously thinking of living there, at least six months a year.
