I'm in Siem Reap, Cambodia at the moment. I usually live in Thailand, have for the past 12 years.
But when it came time to renew my visa for the year, I had drunk the £8,000 that I needed to have in a bank account for 6 months prior to applying for the visa extension. That money has to be there to prove you have funds to take care of yourself, it's part of the visa application process.
Actually, it's turned out to be something of a blessing. I was sick to death of Thailand. I'm really enjoying living where I am now.
