I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon and all the others who give so much of their time to help people in this forum. I joined about a year ago having decided to make the move to Thailand and have closely followed the replies to the many questions from people on various topics.  I found the advice and information invaluable.  I applied for my non-O in Madrid 4 weeks ago, arrived in Thailand on Friday, went to Immigration this morning and opened a bank account this afternoon.  Everything was straightforward but only because of the support offered on this forum.  Thanks guys, keep up the good work! PS Any idea where I can get hold of 800, 000 baht? (Only kidding😅)

I would like to second that, I joined about a year ago as well and the information I have gained from everyone has been invaluable, ive now just started my first year retirement extention and have basically been guided from start to finish buy the group. Brandon obviously and many others, just remember for every stupid question you get...there are hundreds of us who arent stupid and are soaking in the info and making good use of it... Thank you for your time and help .
