although true, it's a hassle. And as you are well aware it's not like you can send it out and back into country without incurring costs that would far exceed the value. Agents make perfect sense to anyone with a tiny bit of financial savvy

It's more likely that he does and he also understand how much interest 800k makes elsewhere. My average return on investment over the last 25 years is over 14%. You can't seriously think a decent investor is bringing 800k to thailand, losing on exchange and fees, to sit in a bank at 0.5%. Not a great option.

😂😂😂😂 if the government cracks down on themselves lol? Umm it’s a safe bet immigration won’t be ‘cracking down’ on immigration anytime soon. No good bye Thailand. No trouble. No standing in line. No 800k. All good. Enjoy them. Great service
