Then go back to the USA and live in a cheap travel trailer then fly back for another 6 months and rathole money for the future. One possibility is marriage to a Thai women and get a marriage visa for 400,000 baht in the bank. Half of the 800,000.

Pat…here’s an idea. First, if you leave the USA more than 6 months you lose you Medicare Part D. So one plan is just Fly in with just a passport. You get 60 days visa exempt, then you can extend another 30 by paying 1900 baht to immigration. That’s 90. Then you can pop across the border for a day (they have cheap bus rides for this) and get another 60 exempt. Then another 30 for 1900baht. That’s 6 months easy peasey.

No issue’s. You’ll get 60 days exempt on arrival. All you need is your passport. You can extend another 30 for 1900 baht at immigration, but you’ll need a extra passport photo and TM 30, your address. I’ve done this before.

that’s also difficult because of Thai law.

Don’t make jokes when I’am drinking coffee Pricilla….555. (By the way 555 means laugh out loud in thai)

is a convenience store. Here and around the world. But Thailand seriously has 30,000 (thirty thousand) stores. About every block or two. Watch Thai videos and you’ll see them everywhere. It’s food, cell phone bills, electric bills, open 24 hours, many tourists. The joke is the Thai government would shut down without seven eleven s. On hot days stray dogs hang out in front of the automatic doors to catch a blast of air conditioning……

Yeah. First she needs a Thai bank account as everyone suggests. For shopping at grocery stores, mall stores and restaurants I use my USA Issued Barclaycard which has no conversion fees. I pay it remotely here In Bangkok on line monthly.
