Don't worry, very unlikely they will ask about it. They might ask to show your accommodation reservation eg agoda or Airbnb. As to $, I would suggest carrying at at least 2k AUD so you can exchange it for THB and save on the Atm fees that add up pretty fast.
most people working for companies out of TH do not have work permit/proper visa. They just don't like to talk about it so that other snowflakes don't freak out about it 😂
you think the criminals cannot afford 800k? Sure they can, it's the regular guys that might find it difficult to park that kind of money in a local account.
that's the thing, I am 48 and so waiting to 50 in my opinion is better than paying for elite, but if they were to change the retirement age to 55 then that would make me reconsider it.
The term of a registered lease agreement cannot exceed 30 years (section 540 Thai law translation section 540 Civil and Commercial Code: 'The duration of a hire of immovable property cannot exceed thirty years. If it is made for a longer period, such period shall be reduced to thirty years.
