ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I am retired and coming to Thailand, been a number of times over the last 12 years and I wondered if it is worth while opening a Thai Bank account. I want to come over on the 60 day VOA 2 or 3 times a year and would spend no longer then 180 days in the country in any one year. I have a Revolut account that I have a Thai Baht account in, which means I can exchange Stirling to Baht at bank inter exchange rates with no commission, I will pay an ATM fee for cash withdrawals but no fee to Revolut and would bring cash to exchange at the Super Rich bank as and when needed and use my Revolut card as well for purchases. The Revolut account also gives me 90 days Health insurance cover up to £10m per trip. I don't want to get a retirement visa at least for the next 2-3 years until I have checked every thing out, so the question is is it worth opening a bank account and what are the pro's and con's given that I only intend to visit for 60 days go back to UK for a couple of month then back for 60 and so on. TIA
