Pat Bartoli everything possible here in Thailand .. what the comments below say about monthly income or 800,000 in bank is true … BUT there is many many agents here in Thailand who can arrange the retirement visa for you with out having the 800,000 in the bank or the 65,000 income every months

And they only charge about 1000-1500 USD for this service

So yes you can come to Thailand and retire and live here with your social security money ..

Step 1 fly to Thailand spend some time here and figure out where you want to live ( you can stay 90 days on your initial period - 60 days entry and extension 30 days

Step 2

Find an agent who can do retirement visa for you

Pay them and they will do everything for you

Step 3 love the rest of your life in Thailand and enjoy my friend

Have a great day

Dude you can enter the country get 60 days on arrival and extend by 30 days then boarder run do same so you can stay 180 days ……. Uour over thinking it …. You don’t need the dtv. The dtv is for people working here not holidaying 😆

Just fly there mate stay hotel while look for apartment or house the rent one in an area you like and apply for retirement visa

Done and dusted mate

@Salali *******
