Do we need to open two separate bank accounts for our visa, and will that involve paying two agent fees?

Jim ********

All I know is you're talking rubbish and I've not "overlooked" anything, and the beauty of this world is we can believe whatever we want. I'll base my knowledge on WHAT IS KNOWN, whereas you base yours on internet speculation!

I haven't overlooked anything. I've been bringing in money for years, never been taxed. I know I won't be taxed this year, next year or any other year. I'm sorry if you've been duped by the "experts".

No it won't be. If someone transfers 800k in savings there's no tax. It's never been taxed in the 15 years I've been here.

There's nothing in Thai tax law to say savings can be taxed. Interest in savings yes, which banks here automatically do. Oh yes, you're another who's been hoodwinked by the "tax experts" touting for business! Fortunately I'm not that gullible!

I think I'm right because Treasury has never been interested in this transfer of savings before and won't be interested now. Nothing has changed

Which for 800k transfer wouldn't be worth it. The tax authorities in Thailand have never bothered to look at this before and won't be looking at it now.

Only if it's previously untaxed, which is good, people need to be held accountable when evading tax!

What is the best way to travel from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi?

Jim ********

Driving is the best way! That way you have car so you can explore Kanchanaburi, Hellfire Pass and Erawan Falls National Park, and time permitting drive further north to see the Mon Bridge at Sangklaburi and the Three Pagodas Pass at the Myanmar Border. Make it a three day adventure!
