What are some recommendations for reliable immigration lawyers or visa agents in Bangkok for a retirement visa?

@Galenus *****
 since when do you need to be able to read and write your name in Thai? I got a Retirement Visa myself twice (2020 and 2021). Easy, and no one at Immigration asked me to read and write my name. I never used an agent.

If you’re buying a car there keep in mind no bank there will finance a loan unless you have a job there with regular income. Buying with cash should be no problem. You need to get a Thai drivers license if you plan a long stay and live there. Good luck.

 lol, I’ve been going to Thailand for over 53 years and lived there for 6 years on and off, plus about 27 trips there so far. I’m married to a Thai as well. I just never went the 800,000 TB route.

What is the maximum liquid size allowed on flights in Thailand compared to the USA?

@Galenus *****
 The person asking was seemingly from the USA. Therefore, I responded using a measurement more commonly used there. If you never heard of ounces or pounds I suggest you look it up.

 Tks for your response. I don’t understand why Thailand does not have one standard requirement for the entire country. In the same Immigration Office in Thailand, I had 3 Immigration Officers tell me 3 different requirements for the same issue. That is very frustrating!
