Like many expats here in Thailand, i am separated however i want to do whats best for my 6 year old son and start to plan for his future.

Can someone recommend a company that gives clear advice on starting a savings plan if i want to put some money away each month for his future education.

Could someone please advise. To cover the 65000 baht income requirement can you have a mixture of cash in the bank and income. For example 400000 in the bank and 32500 in income to comply. Many thanks.

Ok, so I went to see my lawyer who renews my retirement visa on Samui for the last 4 years, I'm from the UK.

I said that I knew there had been changes and wanted to know what I needed. I told him I was reluctant to bring over any cash as the exchange rate is terrible.

Due to the exchange rate, my pension now sometimes drops below 65,000bt per month, but I also have 650,000 in a Thai account. Hence why I didn't want to 'top up'.

He told me I had to top up, as if the pension did not meet the requirement, it was in effect, ignored. I felt he wanted an easy job, but maybe wrong.

Did the rules change that you can no longer use a combination of money in bank plus monthly pension to reach the requirement?

Any advice would be appreciated.
