if thai immigration rules are giving you a migraine (which is very common), take a look at the Philippines. No visa issues there, just enter on a visa exempt stamp and stay up to 3 years at each entry 👌
UK citizens can get a Wise debit card and use it to withdraw money from their Wise account. No need to transfer the money to Thailand first. It's a great solution that I unfortunately don't have access to being from Sweden 😑
