What interest can I expect from an 800K baht savings account in Thailand for a retirement visa?

The interest paid on savings accounts in Thailand is generally quite low, often around 1.5% to 2.5% for some accounts, while others yield significantly less. Many contributors noted that interest could be as low as 0% to roughly 1,000 baht annually on an 800,000 baht deposit, highlighting the minimal returns. Additionally, some banks charge maintenance fees that could offset any interest earned. It's advisable for expats to explore fixed-term accounts or alternative investment options if higher returns are sought.
