Please can someone suggest the best VPN that works good in Thailand ? I don’t want my bank to know where I’m logging in from or NETFLIX or US GOVT sites and currently when I travel my current VPN ,”pureVPN doesn’t cut it as I cannot access certain sites to pay bills. Any suggestions ?

NordVPN gets flagged by a lot of sites these days forcing you to CAPTCHA and other crap, look into TorGuard residential IP if you want a less stressful experience.

If you have problems with VPNs they check the time zone from the browser information so change the time zone to whatever time zone you claim to be in over VPN. Mullvad browser will block time zone information if you browse using that but sometimes they block logins because VPN IP’s WHOIS as a data center IP not residential or mobile. For a more advanced setup residential proxies are much better but the setup to use them is far greater than a done for you VPN client.

The US government already knows where you are, a VPN isn't going to hide you very much

Express is good, but, I will tell you if they want to really know they will know. Express vpn with their router is your best bet though. Retired IT guy

You can't go wrong with Proton, Nord or Surfshark.

Nord VPN with dedicated IP

NordVPN for extra anonymity, all optional:

-Double VPN

-Onion over VPN

-Obfuscated servers (this hides that you’re using a VPN / scrambles VPN data)

-Dedicated IP possible

-Well known for being the fastest VPN out there

And many more options

Nordvpn works well. Some sites need the double / obfuscated mode.

Do you have a house or apartment in the US that you'll still have. Or a family member that lives in the US? The best VPN is getting a router that hosts a VPN server setup at your/their house and you connect to that. That way it looks like you're at their house and you'll never have to worry about being detected as a VPN from streaming services.

ProtonVPN, TotalVPN 100% works. Also I have a Wireguard VPN in my home sever and I can connect to it without issues from Thailand.
