Any suggestions for Safe Deposit Boxes for foreigners that don't require a huge one time-charge or a fee to start the annual rental?

Also any advice on opening foreign currency deposit accounts in banks? (USD and GBP)

Thanks!

Anyone here with a Schwab One account using Swift to wire money to their Bangkok Bank account via NY branch??? I get 3 free wires per quarter and I’ve been told it’s converted into the Bangkok Bank account as “Buying TT rate” which is usually excellent conversion rates. I’m also considering doing direct deposit into Bangkok Bank NY branch of my Social Security checks.

Anyone done this w their Schwab One account and can attest to this??? Thanks

FCD accounts (foreign currency deposit) are accepted by Phuket immigration. I just renewed my retirement extension yesterday using such an account. Can anyone tell me if FCD accounts are accepted by Udon Thani immigration.
