I just got my annual extension of stay based on retirement visa, for the third time. Is there any reason why I cannot now immediately spend down most of the 800K baht, and just replenish it three months before my next extension application next year? Is there any scenario where I might have to show the 800K – or any amount – in my savings account in the interim? Im thinking about buying Thai stock market mutual funds, or putting most of it into a 6- or 8-month fixed deposit that earns better interest. Thank You.

If I may put in a humble comment, it would appear that the most tricky issue is that it all depends on the officer present, the area, his mood etc. etc. ?
