@Kenneth ******
I can assure you that everything I do is well thought out. So what's your point?

Was this at Immigration in Khon Kaen? The branch in Khon Kaen said I must show both bank books at immigration Khon Kaen for my second extension.

I will go and ask them. But I live 100km from Khon Kaen 😅

Do you mean BBL in KK can update the bank book from BBL Pattaya and give me a bank letter from BBL Pattaya?

@Stuart **********
I don't want to go every year to Pattaya for the bank papers.

And BBL in KK doesn't accept the BBL account in Pattaya.

So I only have the choice of opening a new account.

Thank you.

This is what I interpret from this:

3 months after receiving the non-o retirement visa extension I can transfer 400k, or 800k, or even everything to the new account.

After that I go to the BBL Pattaya and have the bank book updated to prove that I had 800k in it for 3 months.

For the second retirement extension I go to the BBL KK on the day I go to the immigration office and have the bank book updated and ask for a bank letter.

Then I go to the KK immigration office and show both bank books and the bank letter from the BBL KK to prove that I have 800k in my Thai accounts.

For the third visa extension I no longer need the old BBL account.

Is everything I have interpreted correct?

Depends also which time you want to fly. I don't like to wake-up 3am. 😅

I relocated already 2017 from Europe to Southeast Asia. 25kg check-in luggage include.

To relocate inside Southeast Asia twice I used always AirAsia. No check-in luggage included.

The price depends on your destination.

If you book a 1-stop flight with airport transit, the luggage goes to the final destination. Means more than one flight and therefore higher price per kg.
