Thats what I'm thinking. I've got the 800K, not a problem. Its ring fenced for the occasion. But it's in my home country account where I earn 5% on it. Bangkok Bank give you nxt to nothing. I'm also aware of the step out of the country on the 11 month and hop back in get another year added, so 2 years out of the one-year visa so to speak. (By the way my OA is multi entry so I don't think I need a re-entry permit on the bounce?) Question then. At the end of my second year do I need to leave T'land or just extend the OA at Thai Immigration by showing the ring fenced 800K and paying the 1900B plus show another 12 months of insurance? JC..any wonder I drink.🥴

@Martin ****

Can you elaborate on that?

Don't do it. Renting is cheaper.

It's not an airport. You don't need to announce your departure. ✈️

0B left in the account for x number of months @ next to zero interest. Yeah/Nah. I'm getting 6% on call I wouldn't be in a hurry to transfer $$ over.

Just write down your previous job. They never check.

I got knocked back on the syphilis.

@Hubert ******

Hmmm. I'll think about that.

If you prefer the beach..Phuket all day.

AXA.
