You might be surprised about pensions. Retirees in my age bracket, over 60, are more likely to have pensions. Some unions, government, police, and military still have pensions. Mine is from the University of California and they still have a pension benefits. Those pensions + Social Security can add up.
The Thai visa ecosystem is complex but to does provide a variety of options. I assume you know that an FBAR is triggered by having $10,000 in a foreign bank and is not connected to a visa. I’ve done an FBAR the past 5 years for my one Thai bank. They are easy to do online.
Definitely get insurance early. Make sure you know how it works here in Thailand. It might be on a reimbursement basis. I bought Thai insurance at age 62 when I figured out my US insurance wouldn’t adequately cover me overseas.
Good luck
