I’m always laughing at travelers who are “concerned “

About exchange rates

The rates are determined by multi national banks and government policies.

There is nothing you can do about those rates

So stop stressing

Just go travel

Enjoy those travels

To even consider

?? Wow exchange rates seem to be volatile

? Should I or not travel because of that in my opinion is silly

If your phone uses a removable SIM card

Just buy a Thai SIM with unlimited data plan

(Will include some minutes of making calls anywhere IN Thailand)

Change out your home phone SIM = you are set to go,

What I did = Bought an inexpensive Smart Phone IN Thailand and installed a SIM.

Cheap and easy

If your Home country phone has WIFI calling ability you then have your home phone to make calls back home as long as your connect itvto a WIFI source

Always book directly either the airline website

Never use 3rd party apps

The flight fare is the same

But with 3rd party you really have little hope if help

Direct with airline assures you get THEIR customer service

Maybe I misunderstood his question.

Just seems strange to ask visitors to bring entire suitcases? Full of goods.

No I’ll intent from this end

Plus

If you are truly trying to be a good Businessman in Thailand

Maybe don’t start off trying to circumvent laws and Thai business practices

Just a thought

Baht to dollars
