In-Country Experts - British Expat Forum

I would like to ask this question to an expat who has been living in Thailand for a long time / will be in the forseeable future.

If you are a young person say in their mid to late 20's and is considering moving to Thailand for the forseeable future, how does that person save for retirement? I beleive there are financial products in the form of mutual funds available for Thai people. Are there any resctrictions for UK / Foriengers.

What other forms of saving for retirement strategies are there?

I find this question especially important as I'm aware that a UK person will not be earning UK state pension rights whilst in Thailand, unless of course they make a voluntary contribution.

ing have mutual funds and one i liked was the thai baht management account.

it gives only a modest return but only invests in cash. it is not taxable. thai banks i have found won't open one for you but hsbc bangkok will.

transfers out of the fund take three days
