Can I switch from a monthly income option to an 800,000 Baht deposit for my retirement visa in Thailand?

@Michael ******

I totally agree... but a minority doing it correctly will not change things. and as Lee Johnson stated he is not happy transferring his money..

I'm just informing there is a loophole, if he wishes to go down that path it is there...
