I am an client of SBC brokers but not for much longer. I don’t have any pre-existing conditions and I was promised my bills would be covered in full. I had an emergency where I almost died and the hospital threw me to the streets because I could not pay usd 5000-10.000 upfront. The doctors said I would probably die but what do you do when you have a shit insurance and doesn’t have a300,000 dollars limit on you credit card. Safe your life and find a proper insurance brokerage. Does this look pre-existing?

Well just tried to open an account with Krungthai. Was originally told, by a higher up employee. Bring passport and thats it.

Show up. They now require a pink ID card and a yellow book that you are registered under. Haha what is happening with the banking system here. MIND YOU I already have a business account with them, that was opened in the same branch.

Hello Everyone,

I am 20years old and currently a dual citizen Thai and British and was wondering about this Service Liabilty Letter on my Uk army application. It says about proof of not being called back for national service. Although I’ve just recently finished my 1 year national service with documents saying I’ve finished my duty.

The British army still won’t accept it.

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

🙇‍♂️

Many of us are struggling of opening or maintaining a thai bank account. I found one option suitable for us in the mean time if we dont want to pay 15000 to agent to open bank account : [members only]

Foreigners can open true money wallet with the limit amounf of 50000 Baht per month and 30000 baht of transaction per day

For me this option can help with our daily transactions .

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the more I read the more confused I get. Is having your Social security direct deposited into a Thai account better or should I keep it in my US bank and do monthly transfers? Thanks in advance

Greetings! My Son is visiting Phuket for Muay Thai training for two months. He is prescribed Xanax for anxiety. Would he be okay going through customs with that medication? I did not see it on a prohibited list. Thank you.
