What are my options for using a new phone with both US and Thai SIM cards, especially considering eSIM technologies?

I have an AIS eSIM and TMobile eSIM. It’s very easy to do and manipulate when traveling (meaning making the appropriate sim the primary)

Can U.S. pension, social security, and 401K monthly payments count as passive income for the Thailand LTR visa?
Steve **********
A close friend just finished his and his situation is similar.

He had to show 24 months bank statements documenting the deposits for the entire period. So yes, as long as you can show the payment history.

How can I withdraw a large amount of money to pay for my visa in Thailand?
Steve **********
US Banks can flag it. It happened to me. I took out 25,000 and immediately tried to do it again and they shut off the card as a fraud alert.

Why is Wise taking longer for my long-term stay transfers to Thailand?
Steve **********
I had this problem last month. Quoted a full week for $2500.

Yesterday I only sent $1,000 and it came today.

It said “will arrive in seconds” but then took 17-18 hours.
