Also can I say that the recommendations from all of you are so very much appreciated.
Am thinking thaty all I need to do is arrive on a non visa, contact a reputable agent, and move into maybe Jontiem, spelt right?
I would love to live in a condominium, with ex pats, but have contact with fabulous food and pools and beaches. Too much requirements? Pattaya area soundscool.
I really look forward to residential people, particularly ex pats for recommendations.

Where will I find a reputable agent as this sounds like the best advice.
Total income with super and pension in AUD is $30,000 pa or 700,000 baht
Can someone recommend an agent, reputable, as it sounds the way to go.
Thanks so much.

I did ask earlier about a reputable agent to use for visas and extensions.
Any recommendations anyone?
Cheers

Thank you Stocky, appreciate a resident's reply rather than relying on heresay from people who have never been there.

Not that I have a drama with any race or religion. Am infact studying Budhhism, dont refrain all that well from intoxicating substances, but have cut down. I dont want to be a full blown any religion, just understanding Thai culture.
You will need an agent to open a Thai bank account if you enter with visa exempt or tourist visa..

How much is your total pension and (super income )
The Thai bank account is obtained in Thailand, not AU.
For your first year you would need to use money in bank method.

Am certainly not looking for a palace. The reference to Pataya sounds good. Have been there, like it, though the beach stinks. Will have to find somewhere with a pool or go out of town for a swim in the sea.

Further, I am on a full pension plus a small amount of super. I dont have a Thai bank account, I live in Tasmania and therte isnt any THai banking representation here.
I can certainly fulfill the 800000 baht requirement.

Very helpful post.
Dont understand why you bothered.
The OP started a thread and has contributed ZERO.
Wasted threads like this are sad.
@Kermit2404 are you even aware you have contributed ZERO despite being online since your OP.
I am sorry about the late replies. Have had a drama to attend to. As said in a later post, thank you all for very helpful information. I assure you I will continue to read this thread and keep you updated of my intentions. Cheers, and thanks again.
-
Sorry for not replying earlier. Had a problem to take care of.
Thank you all for the very valuable input. I shall keep reading and updating this thread for as long as it continues.
Thank you all once again.

I know I will have to deposit some funds in a Thai bank but I only plan on renting, does that make a difference?

How about the best visa to get? Ans should I apply in Australia?

Thank you, I returned from my last 6 weeks stay and went into Nong Khai province to see Meekong river and Laos accross the shores. Great help and I like your recommendation.

I am now retired and just about divorced. Age is 74. I have been to Thailand 9 or 10 temes and love it. Not Big places like Bangkok or Patong, but love Chiang Mia, except in February.
Been to Golden Triangle, Krabi, and heaps more.
Can anyone here suggest a relaxing place and the costs, and visas I will need? (Australian). Sorry for the depth.
Cheers

The current 45 day extension is due to end at the end of this month, but I have read many articles suggesting the 45 days will be continued. (Australian.)
But so far I have not seen any official confirmation.
Have I missed something?

Also, I should say that, whilst studying Buddhism is a priority, which may be my calling, or it may not have any attraction to me, the culture and people, architecture, beaches and the fabulous street food is something I envy, and would love to participate in with you all.

I should also indicate I would like to assist autistic children with my time for any help I could give.

Hi, I want to live in Thailand but don't qualify for retirement or marriage visa.
I only have a 30 day tourism visa as an Australian.
I have been to Thailand on these 30 day visa's for about 9 times
Would love to study Buddhism, but not take anyone else's job, so no work intended or accepted.
I have sufficient funds to live and pay medical insurance so I am not a burden on the country. But not much more.
So, where do I go to study Buddhism, and how do I get permission to do so.
Also, how do I get a visa to only pursue my studies of Buddhism?
And who should I approach?
And, sorry for so many questions, but what is the most appropriate visa run from Thailand?
Cheers

Thanks Bangkok19, and everyone else. All good information.

Am sorry if I am of this topic, but most of you people on here have either residency or a real love for Pattaya, particularly Jontien. (Spelt right?)
I have been to Pataya once, a year ago and found it so amazing, not just sex, but calm and so beautiful people.
I am now applying for a visa to stay long term, I am 74 years of age so ladyboys and unbelievable sexy thai ladies , whilst would be good, too old for that. (Beer is good and better.)
So what I want is a studio, or maybe a one bedroom condo, cheap as, and i mean cheap, i can pay a year up front, if it is cool, but what I really want maybe close to beach but maybe a pool.
Real place is a close area to nightlife, for entertainment that is so I can have a few cleansing ales, talk with a few people,then an easy walk back home to what should be my home.
Make sense?
