Keeping the 800k in a separate account makes it much easier at Immigration when applying for an extension of stay, less transactions to view

the benefit of a joint account is that it is immediately available when one of you dies

either 800k in an individual account or 1.6m in a joint account

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

my friend lost over a million baht when her late husband’s atm card expired

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
