I am planning to come to Thailand on the Retirement O visa, has anyone ever just brought a cashiers check to deposit for the 800,000 baht ?
Answer summary
A user inquires about depositing 800,000 baht for a Retirement O visa and asks if a cashier's check will suffice. The community advises against this, noting that cashing a check can take a long time. They recommend using electronic transfers, which are more common and efficient in Thailand, suggesting services like the WISE App or a direct bank wire transfer.

It has to show as an International Transfer. You can use the WISE App or your own bank to do a wire transfer.
