Is it the best for most people probably not. And with his information given in his post he is most likely someone that has worked hard for his money that plans on staying around awhile and wants to enjoy a comfortable living for the rest of his days.

@Neil *******

yes. My account gets interest.

contact the Thai consulate.

Which consulate? I did mine through New York City. I did my non o twice through them . 2 or 3 days from them.

@Rok *******

or just keep the 800k in until 2nd year of extension. Then in 3rd year use the monthly deposits. Will be allowed to fall to 400 k as long as 800 k is in the final 60 days.

E VISA NON O, OPEN BANK ACCOUNT 1 ST THING. EXTENSION AFTER SEASONED FOR 60 DAYS. (I WOULD PUT AN EXTRA 1K IN CASE THEY DECIDE TO SEND YOU TEXTS. 15 BAHT EACH TIME. I HAD EXTRA IN MY ACCOUNT I WAS LUCKY. I HAD THEM STOP THE TEXTS AFTER SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THEY WERE TAKING OUT.) THEN EXTEND AFTER THE ACCOUNT SEASONED. GET ALL YOUR REQUIRED DOCUMENTS READY AND COPIED. THE DAY YOU GO FOR YOUR EXTENSION , STOP AT BANK FOR CERTIFICATE AND UPDATE PASSBOOK.

I have TMobile

It is not a good investment.

@Nick *********

why is that? It seems to me it is for the extreme wealthy. Not for the everyday common folk.

DO NOT BUY A COND0. RENT IS CHEAP ENOUGH. THERE ARE SO MANY CONDOS BEING BUILT. THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME SELLING THEM AND THEY JUST KEEP BULIDING AND BUILDING AND BUILDING
