As we have no doubt mentioned before, foreigners do not get any kind of interest on the money they deposit in their Thai bank accounts. Usually one is fortunate to simply be able to even open such an account, but to our amazement, we got about THB 90 at the end of last year.
OK, a couple of quid is hardly much to cheer about but it was unexpected, it's better to have it than have it taken away and more interestingly, we earned more in our Thai account in a few months than we did the entire year with our UK bank account.
Si imagine our surprise to find out that we recently got another interest payment when we checked yesterday. At just under THB 500 (around a tenner) we reckon this is a bi-annual payment and we're more than chuffed.
Again, not for the sums involved, more simply just because it's a total bonus. :o)
