Exactly the poster says you cannot open a bank account on a three month visa. The only three month visa as such is a non-'O', which is a visa for those wishing to stay for retirement purposes. If you enter with a non-'O', or change your visa to one and produce a certificate of residency from Thai immigration then you should be able to open a bank account.

Oh! right so it's foreigners that are corrupt so Thai authorities are stamping it out 😂😂😂😂😂😂. What are you smoking?

Six months validation, not six months to remain consecutive. 60 days, then apply for 30 day extension, then on day ninety exit the country, re enter on the same day if you want to try, or stay out 24 hours then re enter. Stay another 60 days, get another 30 day extension, then if you do it right exit on say day 85, either stay out 24 hours or try a border bounce then on re entry you get another 60 days, then you can get another 30 day extension. Then you have to leave and either go back to your own country or try a near country Thai Embassy/ Consulate for another 60 day tourist visa, if they grant you one. Not a definite that they will. This is my understanding of how to utilise a six month multiple entry tourist visa.

You only need a Yellow vaccine certificate if your travelling from a country where it is prevalent.

A weekend getaway to Thailand? So you must live within a two to four hours flight time of Thailand 🤔🤔🤔

I've done a few European airlines from Europe to Bangkok and found them all pretty average. Haven't done British Airways yet, purely on cost. I did fly Cathay Pacific many years ago to Hong Kong and found them pretty good.

There's not a lot of difference between Etihad, Emirates, Qatar I've flown them all from various places. Also, I once flew OmanAir from Manchester, UK, via Muscat to Bangkok and I must say the stopover in Muscat was much shorter, so more bearable. I've not done Thai purely on cost, but if all the airlines I've flown and not on price alone, my favourite is Singapore Airlines. One airline I won't use again is Gulf Air, I have my reasons which I'll keep to myself.

You could always take a daily anticoagulant to minimise your risk of stroke. Heart attacks can happen to anyone of any age, if you go around worrying about that then better to live out your life in your own country where and if you get free health care.

Just die in a country your happy in then 😂😂😂. Seriously though, it's a fact that with old age comes health problems, it's part of the demise of the human body. If your in very reasonable health, take care of it with regular exercise that you can achieve as long as you can. If you drive or ride a motorcycle as I do get the best cover insurance you can buy so that in the event your injured you get good medical care. I'm 76 got a few aches and pains periodically but cardiovascular system in very good condition, so I don't worry about unforeseen issues.
