Hi all, we plan to retire in Phuket, Thailand and would like to find out about what is the best option to :

1) How to transfer money out of my home country bank on a monthly bases to pay bills in Thailand?

2) Can my social security check directly deposit into my new Thai bank account?

3 Can I open a Thai bank account in Phuket while still living in my home country?

4) When living in Thailand and want to buy a car how do I go about transferring money out of my home country bank into my foreign/Phuket bank count?
