But I want to buy physical gold here in Thailand - where I live - and keep it with me. P.S. - Glad you got the joke of my name. I had to use Michael Hunt because somebody beat me to Mike Hunt.

I see. Ha. Well, that wasn't included in my mother's cremation.

I just paid 40,000 baht to have my own mother cremated in the U.S. It seems like it should be a lot cheaper here.

I am planning to transfer some money into Thailand (where I live full time) to buy physical gold here. If I decide to sell the gold a few years from now, will I have any difficulty transferring the proceeds back out of Thailand? Bear in mind that the money will leave my bank account in Thailand for a few years and be re-deposited after I sell the gold in a few years. (I might never need to send the money back out of the country, but I would like to be able to if I need to.) And is there anything that I should write as the purpose for the inward transfer that would increase the chances of being able to send the money back out of the country someday? Thanks.
