@Randy *******

I already said good for you. Just the scampering to a border every 90 days just isn't me. I prefer to have a real visa, not a 90-day stopgap

@Randy *******

Good for you. I agree with having money sit in a Thai bank account, which is why I do the monthly transfer. I wouldn't transfer the 800k as I get 8% interest tax free in Australia on that amount. That's why I chose the OX visa. Leave the money at home. But no border bounces or visits to Immigration for me for five years at a time. I didn't work smart my whole life to be counting every 90 days. Retirement is for having fun

@Randy *******

And I don't have to scamper like a frightened rat to a border every 90 days. Better things to do with my time.

@Randy *******

Two-bedroom apartment on the Chao Phraya River right in the heart of Bangkok, and yeah I know I'm getting it cheap.

@Randy *******

It sounds like you're a Cheap Charlie. Unable to raise the funds in order to get a real visa. You don't have to tell me anything about being smart with money when you're young. I have no trouble transferring 85k per month because I need that to live on.

@Kim ********

But I'm struggling to understand what money he lives on. I'm on retirement visa. I live in Bangkok. My rent alone is 25,000 per month.

International transfer shows in your account as a foreign transfer. I've used that method for years, albeit on retirement visa, min 65k per month. Never had a problem

@Randy *******

So what money do you actually live on? 40,000 baht a month is hardly a fortune.
