TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual seeks advice on using two passports to enter Thailand with a tourist stamp and apply for a temporary retirement visa to avoid extended stay requirements. The responses indicate that it is not advisable to use different passports for entry and visa applications due to immigration regulations and potential complications.

your biodata will show both passports to the officers, so you only fool yourself if you believe otherwise.

Don’t make things complicated, by using different passports.

You need time to open a Thai Bankaccount, expect that to be a hurdle.
