Can you deposit physical cash into your bank account while on a retirement visa in Thailand?

Manfred **********

Yes, but your physical money turns into electronic money until the time you request it back as cash-out, by which time it turns back into physical money.

Please be aware that in more than 99.9999999999999999% of cases you don't get back the exactly same coins and bills that you deposited.
