What are the best steps to take for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand while starting on a tourist visa?

Tom ********

Sounds good but do it within the first 30 days, go to the main immigration office in Thap tai and speak to the lady on the front desk who speaks English, it's easy to do yourself if you take your time and follow the procedure.

Is 1000 euros enough to live in Thailand for a few months?

Tom ********

@Mark *********

Ok you could do it on just over 1000 baht a day but that will be just living basic in cheap accommodation and eating local food but you will soon tire of that, again it depends where you are, The North (Issan) area is nice and more affordable.
