Will be moving to Hua Hin around January. I will be applying for a retirement visa and am from the USA.
I will be leaving in a week for the USA and have been advised to open an account with Bangkok Bank to deposit the 800000 baht for the retirement visa.
Can anyone tell me what I need here in Hua Hin? Which branch and should I wait until I return in January or try now?
