I dun think so. If I'm not wrong the income has to be like passive income or pension something like that. The funds have to be from sg I think, u cannot buy condo then rent out and say that's my income la. Bey pass one la. Hahas

65000bht is S$2600, considered v high pay for locals liao
if i retire in bkk, dun think 1 2 spend S$2600, maybe 2000 shd be ok ba (just food, transport, medical etc)

if S$2600, me n wife will be $5200 per month, then live in sg also can 过日子 if kiam kiam kai

If u deposited 800k thb dun need to show income proof alr. U alr show the immigration u have the money to stay here. Depending on lifestyle la, if chill chill relax I think u dun need more than 50k thb per month.

Bro have to depends also, if no car then of course it would be better to stay near the bts/mrt line. If got car then can stay abit outskirt of bkk, cos bkk traffic is very congested during peak hours. Last time i like to stay near city but after some time i think stay abit outskirt better. But of course end of the day depends on individuals.

Retirement visa is applicable from 50 years and above. Security deposit of 800k baht in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to the visa application.

The client must be at least 50 years of age or over during the time of the application.
The client must meet the financial requirement which could be any of the following:
Security deposit of 800,000 baht in a Thai bank; or
A monthly income or pension of 65,000 baht; or
A total of 800,000 baht combination of personal bank deposit and income or pension for the entire year.
Processing of Visa Application

There are at least two ways on how to get a visa to retire in Thailand:

Application outside Thailand.
A foreigner who meets the age requirement set by the Thai Embassy (in their country) can directly apply for the 1 Year Non-Immigrant OA visa from their home country. Application for this type of visa requires the applicant to submit a police clearance and medical certificate.

Application inside Thailand
Getting a 1 year visa extension inside Thailand based on retirement requires an initial application for a Non-Immigrant O visa. The Non-Immigrant O visa is usually applied at the Thai Embassy in the applicant’s home country, but it can also be obtained inside Thailand. However, the applicant must already meet the financial requirement if they wish to go with the latter.

In addition, applicants of Non-immigrant O visa extension in Thailand must provide evidence of their address in Thailand. Processing of visa extension is done at the immigration office in the same area, or usually the one nearest to their location in case there is none in their city or province.

Actually imho i think as long u r not flashy, dun wear branded all these thailand is quite safe. For ladies try not to walk alone in late night or small soi lor, there are alot of areas u can choose to be frank. Like my mom she likes to stay near market so she can buy groceries and cook. As for me i like to stay near highway easier to go out.
