Not sure what you meant by money problems. I am not in Thailand right now. I was there, am working on coming back. Left in 2017. I had an O-A I extended on to a retirement. However, it seems that some of Thailand's issues are that they want to make it difficult to come back due to changing rules all the time. I don't have money problems, I have more than enough monthly and cash. It's now the thought that my son in the USA could have issues getting $20K plus back from the Thai government if I were to drop dead there. I have no intention of buying property, no intention of getting married. For the government to freeze my account and deny my son the right to take my money without a hassle is making me reconsider even going back. Other places have their disadvantages also but for Thailand I see the major disadvantage is a military government. 40 years ago the the president changed in Mexico. He robbed all foreigners bank accounts of all dollars. Nothing you could do. Soldiers picked up the cash in trucks. It took 20 years to straighten it out diplomatically between the US and Mexico. There has always been soldiers on the streets of Mexico. I lived there 10 years, owned a company. Won't go back ever. I enjoyed my time in Thailand and would like to go back but it seems to me that if the government wanted to show some type of acceptance of foreigners retiring in Thailand, they'd create something consistent, easy to comply with, show consistency throughout the various immigration offices, and show some type of consideration for the thousands of retirees that spend thousands of dollars a month to be there. For insurance, one month it's 400K baht, the next it's 1,000,000, the next it's A million dollars, next year a billion, with only a Thai insurance company. LOL...... What if the USA did that to everyone? I guess we wouldn't need a wall.
