Crypto is a commodity, no intrinsic value or earnings. Just speculation.

I got 5 years plus 360 days, as I have had a license for 7 years. Even though I only have 6 months left on my current annual visa.

Go right AFTER your birthday and get 2 years and 364 day renewal.

Your SS $ will not be taxable in Thailand, but other money brought into Thailand will be taxable, albeit deminimus. However, taxes you pay in Thailand can be credited against US taxes. Confused yet? However if you live in Thailand less that 180 days per year, no Thai income tax. Between living in Thailand and working in the US, travel, immigration and accounting fees will not bode well for you unless you have a very wealthy Thai girlfriend which I have not yet found in 20 years.

@Brown *******

Agreed. Ergo, go the income method.

Worldwide banking fraud, not just Thailand. In the USA there is a big deal with KYC...know your client/customer.Everyone wants ID and fixed address, ad nauseam. Too bad about BKK Bank. They just got hit hard.

@Bobby ********

You do understand that BKK Bank employees were likely complicit in opening foreign accounts involved in many scams.

Why Thailand? More good opportunities in Ghana.
