My budget $ from US goes to wife account. My Visa & other special stuff comes from multiple sources including from within Thailand, go to my account. I don’t think they care where the source money is from.
Come in with a Non-O based on retirement, you should get an account though I’m Bangkok Bank but have accounts with 3 banks. And I own a residence. But as long as you’re on a long term visa, don’t see why not.
Best budget yourselves based on spending. If tourist oriented & like play the nightlife, then probably 100,000-150k a month so dipping into the Visa fund is likely. But if just living, your budget would be around 50k & can leave your Visa fund as is.
Best have two accounts, Visa fund which you never touch & a budget account.
Yeah don’t know what was said but I’m not online much. Words should be over or under the bridge. People taking it to heart live the internet with relationships due to the inability to have person relations, harboring whatever insecurities. People need get out from the device or computer & be social with real humans.
