You can get a retirement visa if you have 65k/month

So that’s obviously enough to live here

Some people spend half of that, some spend double that amount

It’s all about your lifestyle

I used to have a 50k condo in Bangkok

Now I live better and healthier in a 5k apartment in Rayong, saving most of my 65k pension

I’m ten minutes from an international airport, and 30

minutes from the top tier hospitals in Pattaya

You shouldn’t lie to your employer about your location

If the laptop breaks and they ask you to bring it in tomorrow, what would you do?

If you’re connecting to the company vpn, they can see your location whenever you connect

Ask your landlord for a copy of the tm30 they filed when you moved in

Then copy the address from tm30 to tm47

I accidentally put a moped in my 40ft container

At harbor customs they told me that I had two options

1) ship it back out, to somewhere like Singapore, get an import permit, and ship back in

or,

2) give the inspector a bottle of Jonnie Walker Black
