If you do a straight bank to bank transfer the 800k retains continuity so you "should" be ok, as you've had 800k deposited in a Thai bank for whole term. However, if you withdraw the money and then take it to another bank, you've broken the continuity
So you haven't noticed how Thailand is trying to raise the standard for retirees? That they want a better class of person? They actually want the cheap retirees to go to their proclaimed paradise of Cambodia!
So it's quite acceptable to whine like a sick cat because things are going wrong, but it's not ok to say my experience is all good? Interestingly depressed world you live in
I wouldn't say I have a boring time at all! I'm loving my retirement. Because I can't be bothered learning a language which is of little use to me doesn't stop me from having fun. Next you'll be telling me I'm missing out on Thai culture because I refuse to sit on the floor to eat and refuse to dip my fingers into a sticky rice pot shared by a dozen people!
Well I've been here twenty years, and have an easy time with my extensions and my bank account, so looks like I'm more welcome than you! If the Thai language was of any use to me I'd learn it, but it's a waste of time. I don't socialise with Thai people, so what's the point? My lady speaks fluent English, and I hang out with expats. You're right about one thing. I would never sit on the floor to eat!
Yes. Things have changed this year. Can now get the Bangkok Bank 12-month statement through the app - so that saves ordering it from the branch and waiting five days and going back to collect it, and the time taken at CW for a 12-month extension - this year in and out in 35 minutes - a record for me!
