I did not say I could leave on my UK passport, what I was trying to say is I can leave on my AU passport, then come back in on my UK one. Sorry if you found that confusing.
I got very sick by eating 'soft' off biskets in Morocco one time, very bad stomach cramps, followed with diarrhea, it went on for hours, a Moroccan guy got me to swallow 2 teaspoons of powdered Cumin (yuk) I was instantly cured.
I don't believe you even have 400k it's only for 2 months before then you can take it out, so how do you live month to month. Of course you wife has to attend. Thai banks are reliable up to 1million you are guaranteed not to lose it, and you can get interest, once you have a years extension.
So a Thai would have to win 5K just to break even
Maybe he and his cohorts can afford 5k entry but the general population can't, this goes to show how out of touch they are. Still with a 10k cash handout they will be queuing at the doors.
I would suspect he has duel nationality as I do, I am on my AU passport with my extension in that, but I am from the UK so could leave and reenter on that.
