» What first catches the eye of visitors to Don Kai Dee Benjarong village in Samut Sakhon is the street art along a small alley. Those wall paintings tell stories of the community, which has made a name from producing high-quality, five-coloured porcelain known as benjarong for more than three decades.
Developing a credit record as a freelancer

» nnn I borrowed a student loan and will graduate this year. I will have a grace period on the loan for two years after graduation. I have a freelance job that provides mostly steady income every month and I think I will keep it. My pay goes into a savings account without withholding tax, which could cause me difficulty in getting loan approval in the future, as there is no firm evidence of my income. Over the next two years I plan to buy a car or a condo near my workplace, but I'm concerned about how to make the bank believe I can repay debt since I'm a freelancer. Should I start paying off the student loan now to create a good credit profile? Does the bank take payments into account when it comes to housing or car loan approvals, especially for freelancers? Can I start paying off my student loan ahead of the specified date?
