Bt 800,000?
Even at that low rate, you lose ~20K Baht, unless you are moving 400K of it back to a higher-yielding account, during the ~6-7 months you don't need a balance of 800K (minus xfer-fees). Agents are cheaper than 20K for retirement-based extensions - not a lot, though, but add it up over 10+ years. -

EU Spanish town ordered to scrap religious festivals ban
Jumilla’s ban on gatherings in public sports centres breaches right to religious freedom, says Madrid Spain's central government has swiftly intervened after a town banned religious gatherings in public sports centres, branding it discriminatory and a breach of religious freedom, largely affecting Muslims. Ángel Víctor Torres, Spain’s minister for territorial policy, declared: “There can be no half-measures when it comes to intolerance.” He criticised right-wing parties for trying to control religious freedom. The controversy erupted in Jumilla, a town in Murcia, where the conservative-led council endorsed a ban. This ban impacted the town's 1,500 Muslims who have used these facilities for Eid celebrations. Driven by the far-right Vox party, the initial proposal to ban Islamic festivals was amended by the People’s Party (PP) to bar “cultural, social or religious activities foreign to the city council.” Vox pushed for this in return for supporting the town’s budget. As Vox hailed it as a victory against Islamic festivals, the backlash was immediate. A leading Muslim association decried it as "institutionalised Islamophobia," while Spain's migration minister, Elma Saiz, labelled it "shameful." The PP defended its decision, denying any religious targeting, emphasising the coexistence of 72 nationalities in Jumilla. Mayor Seve González argued for campaigns to promote local cultural values. In Madrid, the Socialist-led government criticised PP's alignment with the far right, suggesting it risks alienating citizens who contribute significantly to the local economy. Saiz highlighted the essential role of foreigners and reminded that Spain's rich history includes significant Muslim cultural contributions. The Catholic Church and Federation of Jewish Communities also condemned the ban as a democratic setback. Catholic leaders called it discrimination, incompatible with religious freedom. Vox leader Santiago Abascal expressed surprise at the Church's opposition, speculating its motivations linked to finances or past scandals. The central government has given Jumilla a month to respond formally. If not addressed, further legal actions may be pursued to overturn the decision.
