I’m in the U.S. so I’d definitely need to set up a bank account and have monthly deposits. I’d want to pay rent for 6-12 months in advance; hopefully to get a better rate. If it wouldn’t be significant idk why I’d tie up my money. Rather keep it in a bank earning a little something in interest and just draw from that rent account I’d hope to set up. I understand it can be a lengthy process to set up Thai bank account. I have , I presume, plenty of time. Nothing but time. Hopefully plenty😁 Thanks for the info. It really has helped. Now to learn to speak some Thai. Probably the hardest thing I’ll have to do.

I have verification for both SS and pension that puts me over 100k Baht/ m plus I savings on top of that so I’m fine there. No felonies. Passport would be fairly , valid for a few years. Approximately, how long does this process take? Idk what other documents I would need. I’d want to carry health insurance. Any recommendations? Safety Wing is almost $600/m from the quote I got. I’d probably be better off just paying cash for any procedure. I’d have to find out the approximate cost of say a major surgery. I’ve seen videos of minor stuff and a self insure payment would not really be to impactful financially. I have a reoccurring monthly income and some savings so I’m not too worried but I had a stroke a year ago so ya never know.
