None of my neighbors spoke English in the USA and didn’t care. South Florida. However I do avoid almost all humans because they love to talk bad about others. Thai is a very hard language. I cannot tell the sounds apart.

my wife said no to moving to Chiang Rai. We live in northern Chiang Mai. I would love to build a tiny little home up in the mountains in Chiang Rai. Get a few sheep. A rocking chair lol. Perhaps a holiday home. Will be camping a lot in Chiang Rai this winter.

I agree Chiang Rai has so many quiet peaceful mountains. National parks in Chiang Rai are free. Empty hot springs, cold weather. Love the sheep. Lots of delicious food. I live in Chiang Mai but love the peace of Chiang Rai.

That’s all they want one page of your current balance from your bank account. It must have your full name on it. They hate when you show extra months.

Wise will tell you before sending your money how long it should take.

If it’s over 50,000 baht I get it the next day by 2:05 pm local time. I will send 49,000 baht if I want my money instantly.

If you select your reason for staying in Thailand is for immigration reasons it will be the next day you receive the money.

If you already did a bunch of transfers it may take a week plus to get your money.

I have never heard of extending. Maybe a different type of multi entry visa? Mine is based on marriage and got outside of Thailand and immigration made it clear I had to leave every 90 days. So now my curiosity has me wondering if the retirement multi entries are different?

@Sam *******

ahhh, okay I am on a NON-O multi entry stamp based on marriage so it’s impossible for me to get an extension inside the country. I must leave Thailand every 90 days. The OP didn’t go into any details. However I am curious what kind of visa do you have? Did you get it inside Thailand?

Lots of wrong information. There is no 90 day reporting because you have to leave the Country every 90 days. If you time it correctly you can get 15 months out of the stamp if you leave and return on your last day.

Once the 15 months is up if you are married to a Thai or have a Thai child you can also add the family extension of 60 days.

Great to know. I am going to immigration today to transfer my stamp to my new passport. I only experienced over pricing in Laos with immigration.

@Dimitri *******

okay educate me, how does one loss the property in divorce if they signed a usufuct with the property? 4.5 million is the farang price. Thai people have a different price I know this as I spoke to a Japanese owners of a condo building and they deeply discount to thais to get the quota. and buying a condo sounds depressing. So are you educating me that it’s a better investment to give money to a stranger?

Your wife can get a 30 year loan and purchase a house and pay 11k a month. That way you are not throwing the money away to a stranger. Still get a usufuct. If you get bored of the house rent it out as an investment.

Renting 0% chance of making a profit. I am cool if you want to rent but it’s still throwing away your money with a 0% chance of return.
