If he is short of money, he should stay in his home country, as he is more than 70 years old. This period is when a man is likely to experience many health issues. In Thailand, most individuals of this age are married.

Alan Rothwell Now I am on a DTV, so I don't know. If it's still available, nothing will happen except that you will help a few people and make a ton of money like me, who has made more than one million when I used agents for ten years.
Always get a Non-O in your home country. Thereafter, it depends. If you want to help a number of people while making money, use an agent for your extension. Otherwise, do it yourself inside Thailand.
On a visa exemption or as a tourist visa, it is now almost impossible to open a bank account. You can enter Thailand without a visa if you already have a bank account. You can first obtain a Non-O and then an extension. For Nob-O inside Thailand, you must also show that the money has come from outside. For an extension, you just show the money. you don't have to show if it has come from outside or been stolen inside Thailand. :)
