MRT for foreign seniors?
No, but you should test out your cards first - maybe by charging a candy bar at a Tops Daily - to make sure. Chase offers several credit cards that have no international transactions fees, use very close to the Interbank exchange rate on purchases, and give a kickback of 1 to 3% in rewards points or cash to boot. -

Who lives on 20k a month ?
Apart from your financial needs for a permission to stay – i.e. visa and extensions of stay – yes, you can live a modest life in Thailand if your own your home and has a simple life-style, which still can be a good life due to weather conditions etc. If you can cook yourself and don't eat huge amounts of food, you can live for 200 baht a day. Even eating out is possible for a few hundred baht a day , if you choose local food from street kitchens, markets or modest restaurants. Me, I only eat one major meal a day and make an excellent mainly Western-style supper for in average 200 baht per day including a glass of wine or two, and some fruit or a bisquit during the day...😋 I could easily afford (much) more, but I don't need to, I'm happy with my life-style and rather spend my extra money on something else. If you find the right area, where you don't need aircon – or much aircon – and avoid real cold periods, your electric bill can be less than 1,000 baht per month, less if you don't cook meals yourself usin electric power. Your major concern – if you own a home and have modest expenses for that – is health. Healt insurance can be quite expensive depending of age and level of coverage. If your health is good – I would say: That is a must for a 20k baht budget – and you can settle with public hospital service, you might find a health insurance in the level around 3,000 baht to 4,000 baht per month. So, to break down some kind of monthly budget: 6,000 baht for 200 baht per day food 1,000 baht for electricity 1,000 baht for communication (Internet/mobile) 4,000 baht for health (either insurance or savings for self-insured) That leaves you with 8,000 baht for home fees/maintenance and other stuff you need or now and then dining out in a little more expensive place, to enjoy a happy life... -

My wifey lost her job
It seems she returned to her employment on the basis of promises that were not fulfilled by the company. Her behavior is called 'quiet quitting'... the Op's wife appears to have played the game well and received a solid compensation package - I'd argue thats smarter than allowing herself be continuing to be bullied in the work place.- 1
