What are the visa options and cost of living for a New Zealand citizen considering retirement in Thailand?

James *********

I'd advise spending at least a month or two, if not 6, in both Countries just to see how you fare, before making a final move. Thai women are similar to women in most countries, they want love, but security is very important to them. Scammers of all nationalities exist.

What is the best way to transfer money to Thailand with minimal fees?

James *********

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can legally bring 29,400 aud with you when you fly in, then get it exchanged once here, I use Super rich. For larger amounts I've read many here set up a Wise account, some use revolute, and other such services.
