It would be from selling my home here in Florida, and come from my bank savings account

I know. I just want to know if I will be taxes on it? When I transfer it over I will transfer at least $50,000. US at once. Some extra to live on at first.

I want to know about the 800K we have to deposit in Thai bank also.. Thank you following

This must be something new? Don't you get your insurance once you are there? During the three months you 800,000 bhat are sitting in the bank>??

If you get an agent in BKK , can they set you up in Hua Hin?

I read all of the comments over the past year of expats having trouble with agents. It scares me, I want an agent. But surly someone or two people have an honest agent they used? No one really recommends anyone? I need one in Hua Hin area. Thats where I want to live.

So if I buy a new smart TV there, I should be able to still get Netflix, and Viki? without a firestick? I have smart TV here in Florida and that's all I need, with the membership to both channels.??

Love your answer. I bet you are a wonderful teacher..

Is you wife a teacher? Maybe she can get a work visa to teach?

I lived in Iowa for years. I too grew up doing most of what you have done. I also raised 4 children. Two of my grown children still live in Iowa, with their families. But Living in another country requires adjusting to their ways. You are a guest in their country. What life was like before, is now gone. Unless you move back to Iowa. You can rent condos with washing machines. Thats a must have for me. I can adjust to smaller kitchen, since it is just me. An air frier comes in handy, when you don't have an oven. I wish you luck, hope you can get your mind set to a new way of life.
