Only making reference to this single occasion, who knows what the future holds, I don't, do you ?
Yours is rather an unusual case I suspect, if it was solely to highlight the potential pitfalls in repatriating money then perhaps the topic title needn't have references your visa.
I think the vast majority of those on a non O marriage extension bring the money over and either leave it on deposit, or spend it through the year. Unless you're very lucky with favourable fluctuations in exchange rate you'll simple lose money coming in and lose money going out.
As for knowing the future I would presume, seeing as your original post stated an intention to make Thailand your home, you're going to have to go through this rigmarole again in 12 months which strikes me, personally, as plain bonkers. But each to their own, I would suggest you try Dee Money to repatriate your money.

Why send it back?
If you're now living in Thailand just spend the money on your living costs, then send money again ahead of when you need to renew your extension.

There's a good article about Chuwit in Nikkei Asia, dated 6th April 2024, which says "Chuwit, 62, left Thailand late last year for chemotherapy treatment for liver cancer at a hospital in the UK"

Nikki does speak very good English apparently.
I think my granddaughter's only had one Brit as her foreign English teacher. Previous teachers have been, in no particular order, Australian, South African, Moroccan, Canadian and British. The Moroccan guy Mr Habibi, was excellent.

You quoted a poster who was insistent the Sydney attacks were terrorism and, as such, must have been carried out by a Muslim.
I'm fully aware the poster has previous, he derails just about any thread with a sniff of Islam down his weird rabbit hole of hatred.

Good that the court ruled a girl was wrong to join a school knowing the rules then tried to get them changed. First it's prayer rooms, then all halal, then time off class for praying and it ends up with demands for same sex classes. If they want all that apply to an Islamic school.
"They" comprise half the school's 700 pupils, it was just the one Muslim girl who took legal action, and quite rightly, given that she and her parents accepted the school's policy at enrolment, the court ruled against her. Unfortunately cases like this tar everyone with the same brush.

In utilising multisyllabic words one would have assumed you have a better reading comprehension than exhibited....
By saying "outside of the South" there was an implication that those in the south haven't integrated and are seeking to impose their beliefs on everyone, glad you made the clarification.

Thats one the things I like about Thailand - the fact that in most areas (outside of the South) the Muslims have are integrated and they don't impose their beliefs on everyone in the immediate vicinity and community within which they reside....
Booze can still be bought in shops in area's of a higher muslim populations (also the mosques are not disturbingly loud).
Curious perspective.
Given that in the 3 southern provinces Muslims make up over 80% of the population, then who's the one not integrating?

If on a main road they won't sell alcohol either. Maybe the ones near you are franchises, owned by Muslims.
Actually my nearest on is on the main road at a petrol station, that doesn't serve alcohol, the one round the corner near the mosque does sell alcohol.

There are some seriously paranoid folk in this forum.
If you're that concerned go find a bunker in Tierra del Fuego.

Non o immigration visa Thai wife
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

Whatever, as said this would be better in the banking section rather than visas, as it has absolutely nothing to do with your extension which was granted, your issue is with the bank not immigration.
