Leaving Bangkok? Why would they care? Are they going to make you stay? And I wouldn’t think the staff or you go through security or connected with customs or immigration,

Being more concerned about you having something dangerous. I’ve never had a problem in Thailand, but at the new, awful Berlin airport last year, I had a lot of tech stuff, they were fine with that, but I had a plastic bag with two power banks, and a watch. They stopped the line, sent the other people to another Q, and called the police on me. They asked me what I was doing with a watch and a power bank. I almost missed the flight, and I will never fly through that airport again.

If you have a university degree you could teach school

it evolved into a discussion of insurance, and therefore the merits of the OA visa.

if you buy thai insurance it wont cover preexisting conditions, they will raise, cancel you or exclude the conditions if you make a claim, and the amount you’re likely to get for a serious illness is little more than your annual premium. Its fine to say everyone needs health insurance but its not that easy

I understand, but the international locations cannot transfer between countries. Bangkok bank in new York, Citibank in Thailand (had a few advantages for Americans but is being sold to a thai bank). Some banks have multi-currency accounts (Krungsri Boarding Card), but there will be a cost to get your currency into Baht.

Bangkok Bank and 2 others can exceed the limit. I just got a notice from krungsri that i need to come have them identify my face in order to transfer over 50.k, not sure if this is for wise

they are not a retail bank, you cannot do it
