It's not the best but way better than 0.4-0.5% from a savings account. I get 1.85% for a 7 months term at Bangkok Bank which is better than a 12 months term. I got 2.10% a year ago. I earn a total of about 22k baht per year from interest. (I have three accounts at the moment.) Not a fortune but I'm not complaining. It's just money. 😎

Some immigration offices don't accept the combination method.Most of them out in the sticks.

Where did you get $17,000 from? You can go for the minimum amount which is 400k baht in-patient and 40k baht out-patient. Then change the cover later.

Isn't the 1+1 year on an O-A gone since a few years back? The expiration date on the health insurance should be what counts.

So you don't consider for example Nakhon Si Thammarat being out in the sticks way down south? I do. But of course you need to ask the immigration office where you're staying. That's a given. I did that when I opened my first FDA.

@Nongnuch *******

Well, every retiree here doesn't stay out in the sticks in Isaan. I don't have to ask "my" immigration office about it because I already have my money in an FDA.

Shouldn't you still be able to get a document/certificate from your pension provider showing you're officially retired.

Yes,but you'll still get the bank letter 2 months prior to the 1 year extension but your money will be frozen.
