What interest can I expect on bank accounts in Thailand for my visa requirement?
Chris ****
If you open a credit card account they will hold funds against the card. Those funds can earn interest after one year (about 225 basis points at the moment). Ask your bank about it.

What is the best retirement visa option for expats looking to retire in Thailand in 3 years?

Congrats on your upcoming retirement. Suggest you also look into Cambodia, Phils, Indonesia and Malaysia. In the meantime tourist visa to start. But once you finally decide Thailand then LTR if you can or Elite.
