Living in Thailand
Your first week in Thailand, without the admin scramble.
A calm order for the practical jobs that make everything else easier: your address, phone, transport, home records and first local routines.

Deposits
Paid with proof. Returned with proof.
The largest payment of your stay deserves a verified receiver, a named purpose and a receipt both sides keep.
Deposit on record
Two months
7000000
Who this is for
Before you land, or before you move.
Booking from abroad
Secure the condo before you arrive, without a blind wire.
Moving apartments
New deposit out, old deposit chased - both on the record.
Renewing a lease
Top-ups and adjustments, documented like the original.
What your host receives
The deposit arrives whole.
Deposit - two months฿70,000
Paydeck service fee฿5,250
Total charged฿75,250
Your host gets exactly ฿70,000, and the receipt says 'deposit' - which matters on the day you ask for it back.
The distinctive part
A deposit is an evidence problem.
Your deposit receipt names the property, the period and the purpose, and it lives in your stay documents next to the lease and every month's rent receipt. On move-out day you're not reconstructing a paper trail from chat screenshots - it's already there, identical on both sides.

Every receipt is identical on your host’s phone.
What you need
Same three things as rent.
Your lease or booking confirmation
The deposit is tied to the stay it secures.
Your host's name and contact
They verify themselves; you never touch their bank details.
Your passport, once
If you've already verified for rent, there's nothing more to do.
