Was it really all that inconvenient all those years caring cash. No government knew what the heck you spent your money on. None of there business. Digital now makes it there business. I do both. 90% cash, the rest digital if I'm buying on line. That 10% is all anyone needs to know. They don't sell my transaction info when l use cash.

When you go to scan at stores and find out the internet is down or the QR code doesn't work or some other digital problem arrives. Cash will always be King. No one can shut your cash down, but they can shut down digital currencies. No one will track and trace all your movements as well.

Can I use my bank statement for the 650,000 THB per month visa requirement if I send large amounts yearly?

Mike *******

Sorry. My mistake on the rocket science part then. 800,000 baht in the market should be good for everyone if they can do it that way. All the best.

After my 1st year (15 months), I did my 1 year renewal for my O retirement visa by myself yesterday. Start to finish was 35 mins in Krabi. They fixed a few tiny mistakes and all was good. Got %99 of the info off of Facebook sites in Thailand.
