What are the 125cc scooters like in Thailand? Do they have enough power to travel uphill either little effort?

Is it necessary to pay around 7000 baht to open a bank account in all banks in Thailand or does only Bangkok bank charge this fee?

Hello all

All the posts and advice have been very helpful. Thanks to all.

I’ve come to Thailand on a DTV and need medical, eye, and dental insurance. I live in Ekkamai-Thonglo Bangkok if that makes a difference knowing.

Many thanks in advance

What do people do about insurance

Hi, I am retired and coming to Thailand, been a number of times over the last 12 years and I wondered if it is worth while opening a Thai Bank account. I want to come over on the 60 day VOA 2 or 3 times a year and would spend no longer then 180 days in the country in any one year. I have a Revolut account that I have a Thai Baht account in, which means I can exchange Stirling to Baht at bank inter exchange rates with no commission, I will pay an ATM fee for cash withdrawals but no fee to Revolut and would bring cash to exchange at the Super Rich bank as and when needed and use my Revolut card as well for purchases. The Revolut account also gives me 90 days Health insurance cover up to £10m per trip. I don't want to get a retirement visa at least for the next 2-3 years until I have checked every thing out, so the question is is it worth opening a bank account and what are the pro's and con's given that I only intend to visit for 60 days go back to UK for a couple of month then back for 60 and so on. TIA

Can anyone recommend a good insurance broker in Bangkok? Thanks

This is for the people from USA. How did you proceed to drop your Medicare insurance from being deducted out of your Social security Check? Thank You

Traveling to Thailand in April, and want to rent scooter/motorcycle on Kon Larn, as an American do I need a Thai or international Driver's license?

Good morning, I'm thinking of joining my estate committee but no one seems able to tell me if this could have any legal, financial or visa implications, so wondered if any one has any information or experience?

The estate doesn't have any 3rd party insurance so I'm wondering who would bear responsibility in case of an accident or potential claim.

Thanks for any advice

Regarding Motorbike registration in a new province.

My 2021 ADV was registered and plated in Phuket. Relocated to Pattaya and became aware of tax license/Reg is 2 months behind 😬.

Anybody recommend a shop in Pattaya for registration. I prefer not to go in person to Land Transportation if possible.

I heard a safety check may or not be required on a newer vehicle, but registration and new plates may be required.

Thank you
