agents in cahoots with people who shouldnt retire in Thailand in the 1st place. But money talks. Fact is, immigration will ramp up requirements more and more as agents and clients cut more and more corners.

Rather leave it there all year round. I have a feeling this will be mandatory soon.

Better to keep it there as you will have to have it there every year to renew your visa. Its not a lot of money anyway.

Nick, i know you would like to live in Thailand like all of us. But honestly, your dream and finances dont meet up. Please believe me if i say this kindly. Rather be poor in your own country , than be poor in another nation's country. Visit, go back a year later and repeat.
