Bob *********

Go to Cambodia get a business visa ($300 I think), then visit thailand for 30 on exception, extend, then border bounce with agent, do another 30 plus extension. Then return to Cambodia for 30, then come back to Thailand for 30 more, extend, etc. after te year is up extend Cambodia 1 year business visa for another few hundred USD...

Do I need to deposit all 800,000 baht in cash to open a bank account in Thailand, or can I use a wire transfer?

Bob *********

No cash, it has to be a transfer from outside Thailand. If you brought cash, they might accuse you of money laundering

Leave your money in the IRA. Come to Thailand, then visit Chang mai, Pattaya, or Hua Hin and find an agent who will lend you the money and do all the legwork for less than 1k usd

Can expats open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa while buying property?

Bob *********

Before buying, be sure to visit the area the condo is in at 10 pm, midnight and 4 am and see how noisy it is. Karaoke, roosters, dogs, airplane noise, etc can ruin your sleep every night in the wrong area
