bit hard to remember.Those months in early 2023, prior to keeping the thb 800k minimum, I sent funds from my USA-based bank to SCB, but with mixed purpose of both paying my installments here in Samui on a new villa being build, as well as keeping the minimum 800k. The bank book of SCB mostly just shows 'consolidated figures', so it is impossible to align fully with my USA bank statement on international transfers. Note: That time I used just one SCB account for that. BTW, in 2023 it was not a requirement that the 800k came from international transfer (only the 65k modality had that)

when visiting IO last week they did nor refer to requirement to show the 800k came from overseas, but maybe they might bring this up at the appointment and document submission of documents this week (31st). Problem is the 800k is at my SCB which does not indicate if a transfer was coming international (such as my Bangkok Bank does).

Whilst most responses focus on your visa, requirements - as it should for a relax stay, your two dogs need good planning n a considerable budget for shipping. Finding houses or apartments in Thailand allowing keeping dogs, especially if the larger types, can be a challenge. Probably easier to first move,, or try staying here for few months, and next organise your dogs. On what to bring? . Indeed almost everything you need can be found in Thailand or ordered online, yet I personally appreciate to have some personal items, family stuff n art with me on my over 35 years in Asia. Renting a house long term without your personal stuff will often remain feeling like 'it's temporary' and lacks a bit of warmth. But that's only my opinion of course. Others do great with just a suitcase and 'a waterhole around the corner'😊.
