What are the different types of visas that expats in Thailand are currently using or considering?

Brian ********

Both are the same.

What is worth looking into is whether your home country has a tax treaty with Thailand or not.

I am British and UK has a treaty, meaning I will not be double taxed on my income

What are my options for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand if I don't meet the financial requirements?

Brian ********

@Clive ********

Britain had a dual tax agreement with Thailand, so you won't be taxed twice on your pension. I am also on a UK pension and I enquired about what to do, if anything, and that still appears to be a grey area.

Who can sign your Proof of Life document in Thailand?

Brian ********

I get the state pension from the UK and have twice had to do this over the years.

First time I got my doctor to do it but she charged for it. The second time I got the condo manager to sign and put his building stamp on it. Both were accepted without a problem

Why can't I pay my electricity bill on the same day I receive it in Thailand?

Brian ********

@Arnoud ********

In our case, it isn't sent out. The meter reader comes to the house, reads the meter, puts the reading into his computer and that generates our bill that he leaves in the mail box. You can't pay it straight away because he hasn't downloaded the day's data to the main company database. Once he's done that I scan the barcode and pay

What are some recommended hotels in Kanchanaburi for a budget of around 800 BHT per night?

Brian ********

Safety boxes come with a master reset code set by the maker, something like 0 0 0 0 or 1 2 3 4. Hotel owners rarely change this master code and thieves know that.

So, I wouldn't rely on them too much
