What visa options are available for a one-year stay in Thailand for expats?

Rok ********

It all depends: if over 50 years old - easy. If younger than 50 - not so easy but possible yet elite visa certainly an overkill.

Can expats open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa while buying property?

What is the recommended sequence of events when moving to Thailand for expats?

Rok ********

Only 30 day extension of the 30 day exemption. And not at the airport but at the local immigration office. 60 days not enough to open bank account, clear 800k and season for 2 months. Opening bank account without a Non-O visa tricky. So do get a Non-O visa in your home country before you arrive.

oh ok, thank you. Really to do with the TM30 then - to ensure you always register if staying elsewhere? (Yet so few hotels and hardly any airBnB register guests).

Why is Thai Airways preferred over Air Asia for domestic flights in Thailand?

Rok ********

Air Asia is a budget airline, Thai Air is a premium national airline. Would you compare Easy Jet and British Airways? Or Singapore airline with its Scoot budget subsidiary?
