Rent, rent, rent.

Buy a condo in your home country and rent it out if you want to own something.

So many variables and unforeseen circumstances here in Thailand IMO 🤪

AXA or Cigna offer very good cover.

Don’t rely on insurance from credit card companies 😬

@Paula *******

yes I’m working on a solution with Bangkok bank, but it is difficult.

It is very difficult to open a Thai bank account with a dtv visa.

The banks say it is a tourist visa and people on tourist visas can’t open bank accounts.

I was told by banks that the only way they can open one for me is if I own property, or am shareholder in a company 😬

The price of electricity matters a lot.

If it is direct from pea then it’s just over 4 baht per kw.

If you are renting the landlord may charge you 6, 8 baht or even more.

You need your electricity price in writing, and pictures of the electric meter.

Just do it yourself. Very easy process. Just include as much info as possible.

Following

Give her 5000 baht for the passport, (10 year passport same day service is 3500 baht).

She goes and makes the application, when she comes back she will tell you the money was lost, or her mum got sick and she had to send it to her family.

Repeat the process again. This time she had to pay off a debt or a bill or something.

On the 3rd attempt you go with her to the passport office and pay the money for her passport 🤪🤪🤪

Yes

But in my account 😁

Do your self a favor and tell her it can’t be changed 🤪
