Can I live in Thailand for a year on a tourist visa without a bank account by using transfer services like Wise or Western Union?

The discussion revolves around whether it's feasible to live in Thailand for one year on a tourist visa without a bank account, using services like Wise or Western Union instead. Comments clarify that staying for a full year on a tourist visa is problematic, as it could raise suspicions with immigration. Individuals may use ATM withdrawals but are limited to THB 20,000-30,000 per transaction and could incur transaction fees. Visa runs are suggested as a way to extend stays, but it's cautioned that frequent border crossings could attract attention from immigration officers.
