Hi, complete Thailand newbie here...

Live Qld

Plan on retiring in few years to Thailand, chang mai looks good

I plan a number of trip prior get lay of the land etc

And come 65 ish ( 3 years ) jump ship with the dog and the missus and go over for 3-4 months before I decide exactly where to put roots down but as said from what I read Chang Mai looks sweet

My questions are thus

1. I'm told if I move with a sense of permanency I need to put the equalivant of 37 grand Oz into bank ACC , 800000 Bhat this correct ?

2 . You can't buy outright a dwelling, you buy a long term lease ??

Lots more no doubt but taking bite size chunks this far

Regards and thanks
