I've just got 90 day "retirement" visa from London. So that, go to Thailand and take it from there. You should be able to open a bank account with that visa. The rest will depend on the requirements of immigration office in the province you plan to stay in

What guidance can expats provide for moving from the UK to Thailand?

Jim ******

I went over with 1 suit case and that was too much. Only need to take personal items you can't get in Thailand. You can buy most things you will need or rent a fully furnished condo/house.
