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

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

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

probably not high, but it’s required to apply for some categories of LTR visa

These days competes with the 10 year LTR Visa at THB50k, which comes with significant tax benefits

absolutely, just come with enough cash to enjoy 🙂

Out in Laguna as I type - nice meal for 3 and a few drinks for THB7,000 - high quality but not cheap

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

completely overblown - far more English than Russian speaking Farangs here. And many of the Russians speak great English as well - never had a bad interaction
