Not much cash in it, but I certainly want to get it out. If they are closing, is there a time frame?
Yeah, they sold their (all? high end only??) accounts to Bank of Ayuthaya and HSBC will be out of their Rama IV office in June IIRC. As I understand it they've contracted/left other countries and Thailand is one of the more recent decisions.
