Sounds like you are describing a Non-O marriage visa. Yes, still the same now.

What is the procedure for moving ฿800k for a retirement visa in Thailand and how does it impact my visa renewal?
John *********
I am interested in information on this too. I will return in October and I feel stupid for leaving my B400k in a Thai bank earning 0% interest.

Does the 90-Day Reporting Requirement Reset If I Leave Thailand on a Retirement Visa with Multi-Entry?

So, if you leave on day 88 there is no 90 day report needed or required.

Is there a problem if my friend's flight leaves 2 hours into day 31 after a 30-day entry in Thailand?
John *********
As most have stated, just pass through immigration at the airport at 11:59 or a bit earlier on day 30. Then wait for the 2 hours at the gate.

Can I use a British bank card for currency exchange at SuperRich in Thailand?
John *********
@Stuart ********
 Best to bring as much cash as possible. Some bank cards charge as much as $55.00 USD for cash advance of a few hundred dollars. I used my money to prove it. Leave that card in your wallet and only use for extreme emergencies.

How can I travel from Phrichit to Bangkok or nearby areas without inconvenience?

@David *********
 not for me. I stay way out in the countryside and for me it feels like the Thai people have given me the Keys to the Kingdom. Never boring. Always learning. Always an adventure everyday. Today I went to a new KFC opening in my neighborhood at 8am to collect a free umbrella and tonight a Football game against Bangkok United.

I stay way out there in Thailand. At the end of the road on the Thai/Myanmar border with my wife. We have a more modern home next to the family home. 6 months each year. No bars, no cinema, no…well we’re in the countryside. I haven’t even been bored. Good luck to you.
