Hi everyone,

I'm currently in the process of selling up (UK) and moving to Thailand on either an ed visa for a year or a retirement Non O.

Would i be able to study Thai on a retirement visa?

Also on Bank/savings accounts. Most of the banks offer ex pat accounts, do i go for one of those? (which one?) or move all my funds to a online or thai account? I'm looking to stick a large lump into a compound interest account to keep me going till my pension kicks in.

Any advice welcome, especially similar personal experiences.

Many thanks in advance.

Kop khun mak krap.

I am currently holding ed visa and will be switching to dtv. I opened a bank account in Krungthai bank with the letter from current school. Will the bank account be still usable for long term even after switching to dtv?

Do i need to update the visa in bank? Will the bank possibly approve for it?

I was hoping to do some online bank stuff with a bank from back home. I use surfshark and my bank was not impressed. Do I need a higher grade vpn? Or to run two of them or? How do you guys deal with this stuff?
