Thanks. I will take a look at the Pattaya forum.

Hi all, One of the requirements of a non immigrant O retirement visa is to have 800,000 baths security deposit in a Thai bank for at least two months before even applying for a visa. Couple of questions I have: 1) Can I just open an online account in Thailand and start wiring money? Anyone trustworthy that you recommend ? Seems difficult to do if one has no physical address in Thailand. 2) I read that Bangkok Bank has a branch in NYC (and London). Can I open an account in the NYC branch and have it wired to a Thai account instead of the above? Thanks for any suggestions.

In my limited experience, one issue with the modest hotels in BKK is the lack or inconsistent housekeeping. Now, I am a big boy and can clean after myself. But I always run short with clean towels. I need to have three clean towels per day. One for me. One for my date. A third one if I get frisky and decide to have a three way or go out later to get another date. If I don’t have three towels, then my plans get disrupted ( I know, it is silly but I have OCD). Sure, I can always call the hotel manager and ask for towels. But I don’t want to have this discussion every day. Same with picking trash On the other hand, the brand hotels have a consistent housekeeping schedule every day The fancy ones even come twice and set up your room for sleeping early evening
