Actually first branch I tried. I knew in advance the medical route was a possibility though. And its based real treatment

driver license is fairly easy to obtain

That’s robbery

Wise for under 2 million i think I’ve heard. Larger amounts, usually bank to bank cheaper and safer. I ended up using my EU bank for 1m. Rate was good, fee wasn’t too bad. Wise would have been slightly cheaper. Just felt more safe using my bank for that amount.

I use wise all the time for small transfers.

@Lauren *****

If you love your back, don’t go to Chiro. Go to a real Physiotherapist. I got very good experience with BPC.

As for health insurance, a global plan with one of the big ones like AXA or Cigna is safest bet for a farang. (No US coverage)

Might wanna do a MRI to check for hernia etc, not that expensive out of pocket. In Bangkok diags seems cheap, treatment expensive
