no no no. There's a reason to the saying "law of the land". Other countries' laws don't apply to another. You'll have to make a Thai will or else Thai court will decide based on intestate law of Thailand

@Alfred ****

you must be on simba, like me 😊

Your suggestion is exactly the right one. Get the cheapest plan here for the local phone no and keep the home country no for data 👍💪

@Robert ****

hahaha your advice should replace this forum's title and there won't be a need for us to ask questions or respond to them 😂😂😂

@Howard ******

you are legally allowed to bring in usd20k (or equivalent) or 500k thb. Anything more you'll have to declare and perhaps be taxed?

@Robert ****

too many conflicting accounts. Which is the right one?

@Stuart ********

lovely news! Thanks a bunch!

@Stuart ********

when you switch to the 65k transfer method, I believe that is to show employment from abroad.

1. Do you have to arrange for a 'company' to make that those transfers? Or can it be done by Person A to you? Or can the transfers be done by you yourself from one bank to the one that you want to use to show proof?

2. Once the funds are transferred to you, can you use those funds for day to day living? I ssupose you can but just asking to be sure.

Thanks

What DTV did you apply with

@Mark ********

mental illness or mental issues exist everywhere and are getting more rampant, especially in societies which aggrandises it and coddle those who have it or claim to have it. That being said, I find the Thai people and Thai culture one of the best in terms of politeness, not stepping on your toes, not being entitled, and respecting everyone and even everything. The other group of people would be the Japanese but their level of mental issues is high!

Hate to be the harbinger of caution but 2 things you said raised some red flags. You met your gf in March this year and you're thinking of settling down and retiring in Thailand? Hmm...hope you do know what you're doing, mate. 🙏🍻
