Can I really obtain a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand without opening a local bank account?

George *********

the year after receiving your retirement visa you will not be able to satisfy immigration the following year because you need to show money in the bank for 3 months AFTER your visa date.

Obviously you cannot..so have to use an agent again..ad nauseum

What is the cheapest way to exchange UK pounds to Thai Baht in Pattaya, Wise or currency booths?

George *********

As already mentioned. In Pattaya use TT exchange.

Try to avoid changing at weekends: the rate will go up on Monday..negligible maybe ( before someone mentions the difference)
