@Graham *****
have you calculated the interest your money could or even would earn in your home country, well depends which country I guess. Compared to interest rate in a Thai bank. The type of account that immigration do require. 🤔🤨🤨
I can only say that my money invested back home would achieve a 4.5 to 5% interest.
800,000 baht say £18,900 on current exchange rate.
Earning 4.5% per annum has a return of £850.
In a Thai bank 0.25% to 1.5%
2,000 baht £47 to 12,000 baht £283.50!!!
