Personally, even if they did away with the 800k rule, I'd still keep at least that much here for emergencies. I top up my account before it drops below THB1M. The money I remit is regular, small profit taking from overseas investments, so the actual loss of investment opportunity is minimal, while the principle not only remains intact, but keeps rising. In addition, the amounts I do remit are far smaller than the taxes I'd be paying if I was a resident of any of the countries I keep my investments in. Investment planning and financial management should be major factors in choosing when / where to retire - predicated on the rules / laws of the retirement location, and whenever this topic is raised, I always wonder at those who earn so much from THB800,000 that they can't afford to leave it in a Thai bank account, but earn so little from the rest of their money that they can't afford to leave THB800,000 in a Thai bank account.
