I am on one now, when we built the house its was well over a decade ago, it was probably a business visa, however, its not important the visa and the property. If i was you I would go for the marriage its more paperwork, but less money tied up. Also rent for 6 months or so and take your time looking for land. Is your wifes hometown Buriam? Is she registered in the family home?

Why open an bank account in Pattaya if you will live somewhere else. You may need to go back to Pattaya if you need account changes or simlar. You dont need an agent.

I built a house with my wife, everything is in her name.

They seem to looking at newer accounts, well at least at the moment

@Roger *******

this is thier policy if a savings account remains inactive (no transactions) for more than 1 year and the balance falls below 2,000 THB, the bank will charge a monthly maintenance fee of 50 THB. This fee is deducted monthly until the balance reaches zero. Once the balance hits zero, if there have been no transactions for another 365 days (1 year), the bank will automatically close the account.

@Roger *******

which bank?

@Roger *******

not sure probably 9 or 12 months

not true they are not Thai protected

Marketing management jobs in English are likely to be few, probably for International companies only. Search online there a few websites worth checking. This is not a Thai protected role.

It will depend on the bank, when i dont use my account they send me a message saying "your account will be closed in 30 days if you dont make payments" or something like that. Phone the banks hot line they can tell you there policy

Your son is technically on overstay, but no action will be taken and because its a short time and your proactively trying to resolve the issue it will be fine.
