money can be any source outside of Thailand transferred in monthly and what I use is not pension money. However, agree most use retirement and or social security payments so don't think it's as niche market as you think.

@Todd ********

I spend/ deposit more then 65K a month and it's a Direct Deposit though the New York Branch of Bangkok Bank so not expensive at all.

@Todd ********

you queue having 800K in the bank or the using the 65K monthly deposit!

Where I'm at the annual takes 45 minutes which I can endure annually. Life does give those little problems we must overcome. .

If you deposit 65K a month or more no large balance needed.

works here very similar to the US see link below.l. BTW in Florida, most likly other States, since my Wife's Thai License is in English it is accepted for short visits. Bring retired military thus stationed around the world I had to get Licenses for Countries I was stationed/living in form my personal car. Even after retired working on a Saudi US Contract I had to have a Saudi License.

@John **********

An international driving license is accepted as long as it is valid but if you are a resident and eligible, you should obtain a Thai Driver's License.

Could be a insurance problem if your living here, not a tourist, and driving without a Thai License.

@Jennifer *******

your words and your opinions not shared by me! Maybe a little overreaction on your part? I think Todd's advice is the way to go but its only advice and individuals are free to do it their way.

I know people who turn to agents on simple problems and as I said their choice but not mine. TGIF to you.

@Jennifer *******

how anyone does it is their choice. My point is I follow Tod as I like his advise and for those who prefer agents or need a workaround that's their business. Each to their own. Have a great day.

@Jennifer *******

agree, they were against agents/illegal solutions. That's why I follower them as I found the legal way is better, for me, and cheaper.

Joint requires double the money.
