agreed. I do the same and have a second Thai account for daily spending so never tempted to touch the 800k Thb.

Be sure to stop at your specific immigration list for the paper that tells you all of their specific requirements. I also had to have map to my house and pics of me inside and outside my place of residency and shortly after I turned in my paperwork I had to be st my house for a videocall so my officer could take screenshots of me at my place of residency.

In calendar year 2025 do you plan to be physically in Thailand more than 179 days?

I use Allianz global but pricey

You might consider Ao Nang or Hua Hin as locations. Both feel like island life but are not on an island.Ao Nang is near an international airport which comes in handy

Some people want to learn from someone that knows all the weird idioms that can occur in conversations

@Michael *******

same for me

Wise (formerly transfer wise)
