Non O retirement visa requires 800,000 baht in a Thai bank. How difficult (or not) is it getting your money out and back to their home country if they decide to return home? Is it just a matter of a bank transfer? Any penalties?

So I have a couple of extra dollars/Baht.

I wanted to put it away in a rainy day fund. The best option seems to be buy gold.

What are some other options? We're not talking big money a couple thousand USD.

Thoughts?
