This wreeks of someone living in Thailand and dodging the system 🤣🫣.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. All that information, it made an excellent read, but it's like you're trying so hard to prove you are genuine, then with turning up with bike at border for same effect. You have a boyfriend here, but call yourself a solo cyclist, you have good friends living near borders. You've hopped twice and we're only 7months into the year 🤦, YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE A TOURIST, more a system dodger 🤣🤣, but good luck, that's how border agents will view it, to route out the dodgers 🫣

recently or over a year ago?

Kasikorn was plain sailing and very efficient and professional.

Try Kasikorn bank mate, they are brilliant

@Tony *********

what a load of crap and out dated advise, guessing you've been here a while, but obviously don't keep nose to the ground, instead just stick to ur own rhetoric.

Banks and their attitude has changed drastically in 2025, and its down to corruption within immigration, selling documents rather than giving to those that meet criteria.

Banks took the brunt of the blame for all the call centre fiasco with illegals opening multiple accounts to launder their ill gotten gains

Savings but works similar to current account, u get zero interest and you can shop with it direct from the app

@Nick *******

stay away from tourist hot spots prices are always inflated, I'm in Bang Saray, a sleepy beach side fishing town, loads of units around for 6-8k

@Damien *******

u r right, in fact u can't get the non-o retirement while in UK without showing the equivalent of 800k in uk bank

@Nick *******

if u ain't got a property in UK and u gotta rent, pay gas/leccy and council tax, u r fookd in uk, im in a 1 bed condo (54sqm), run 2 ACs constantly and my bill is £21 a month, water £4 and no other charges.

@Abey ********

yes but he'll live a better more enjoyable life in Thailand on that money than he could in uk.

Nick there are AC apartments around for £100pm, if you look hard enough.

If you can keep an address in UK and don't tell the powers that u live in Thailand, your pension will remain index linked, but they're getting more and more powers to hunt u down so u gotta box clever. Keep ur current account free of transfers to Thailand, etc
