Is it that difficult to maintain THB400000-800000 in a bank account

year round?

For many years, I have been keeping the THB800000+ amount in my term deposit account. And I do not touch it.

I make a fund withdrawal little by little from my saving account

to cover the cost of my living in Thailand.

I am far from being wealthy.

I have never earned more than $35000-40000/year while working.

And I am well under pension age.

But still I can do so.

Dear Captainjack,

I am one of the expats with the retirement visa.

I am sorry to hear what had happened to you during your stay in

chiang mai.

I have happily lived here with the above visa for years.

However, the military regime has become increasingly hostile toward expats like us in recent years.

The issue of mandatory health insurance to the foreign retirees.

It did not really come into effect.

But that topic set me thinking about the possible near-future relocation.

To somewhere else in SEA with the more relaxed conditions to stay on

long term.

All the best for you.

And I hope your plan will well workout.

Good luck,
