ORIGINAL POSTERHi - I am able to retire in 2020 and will have sufficient funds to be able to buy a condo and live comfortably for years... I have sold my house in the UK and with my savings will live off the capital (approx £250k). I will apply for Retirement Visa. However, I do also wish to travel a lot and visit other countries every 3-6 months or so.... will the Thai immigration authorities have a problem with that, as I have seen some conversations recently about this? I will live here, but I want to visit Asia as well. Thank you.

This is NOT a how can I find a place to stay is it better to rent or buy group.
The answer to the O/Ps question is NO the thai immigration office won't care in the least if you travel or not.
We're done.
