My advice is to give it at least two years before you make mistakes. You will find that in that time you will meet people who can help you. Plus you start to get a better understanding how things work and where things are.
It’s a lot more complicated than people say it is. First you have to get a visa. Non o is ok. Then make appointment with bank. Or just walk in. You need a long term address. Proper ID and then there are about twenty forms to sign. All in the Thai language. It is better to have a Thai agent to help you.
