Do Thai banks offer high yield savings accounts for expats, and can these accounts be used for a retirement visa?

The discussion highlights that Thai banks generally offer very low interest rates on savings accounts, with comments indicating rates as low as 1.5% or even lower. Although some users report having 'fixed accounts' for visa requirements, the consensus is that these accounts are not beneficial for generating significant interest. For retirement visas, the requirement allows a minimum balance of 800,000 Baht but does not permit high-yield accounts that restrict access to funds. Alternatives such as the monthly transfer method (65,000 Baht) are suggested as more favorable for expats.
