What are some reputable visa assistance companies for applying for a U.S. tourist visa from Pattaya?

กะลาสี *****

That will be very difficult for your friend. However, if he/she has a couple million Baht in the bank, well established & verifiable employment, and ties to the local community (e.g. owns a home, children in school, etc.) then it is probably possible but it is a very complicated process.

Lemme see if I have this right. You trust them to get you a visa that cost you 600K THB (or more) but you don't trust their instructions with regard to the process of picking up the visa?

What is the best method to transfer money from a Thai bank account when relocating to Europe?

กะลาสี *****

I have used Dee Money to Xfer money out of Thailand in the past. I transferred money on a Sunday and it was in my foreign account the next day. I believe that they charge a fee of 150 ฿ regardless the amount you transfer. However, their exchange rate is lower than the market rate and this is where they make their money.

What calling apps can I use in Thailand to receive calls like TextMe?

I use Text Now also. Any of the free calling apps should work from Thailand for you (they do for me as along as I have internet access.) There is no need for a VPN.
