Don *********

ltr.boi.go.th - there is a category of Long Term Resident Visa (10 years) designed for you - and a huge benefit is it won’t tax you on foreign sourced income

What are the recommendations for safe deposit boxes and foreign currency deposit accounts for foreigners in Thailand?

Don *********

Sadly no - I am told Krungsri will bump you up to VIP level if you deposit THB5m and keep it there for a few days - that apparently allows you to open a safety box

Well done

I’ve been living in Phuket for the past 18 months, every day still feels like a holiday, and I’ve gone from an avid long haul traveller to someone who does everything possible to avoid leaving Phuket, let alone Thailand

What are the best ways to send packing boxes to Bangkok when moving to Thailand?

Don *********

Don’t listen - Oz Post - max 20kgs per box. Post office to your home in Bangkok in around 1 week for around AUD180 per box. In my case no duty or any extra charges levied. Highly recommended
