Hi members

Regarding the bank details

The 800000bht or 400000bht

Which ever you choose.

Does that have to be in a Thai Bank or can you show proof and details of accounts holding in your country 🤔

Ok I'm arriving on the 6th. Planning on using an agent to get a bank account. Now I set up wise account and linked to my chase bank. I'm a US citizen. So will it be simple to transfer $30k usd to my thai account with wise? Will I run into troubles. Please let me know. Thanks

Hello everyone, thank you for the add. I have a question, I’m currently in Phuket on a 60 day tourist visa, I would like to convert it to a retirement visa, does anyone know of a bank here in Phuket that will let me open an account without a work permit ? I have a contract for my apartment and a document from CalPers (my retirement) that states my monthly income. Can anyone help me?
