@Chuck ***********

that’s what I thought. Your comment sounded like you did something different within the firestick itself. What I don’t know is how to setup the VPN in the router, which is why I have not yet done it. Having everything going through it is not a problem as I already use VPN for security.

is have VPN on my computer and phone for security and will occasionally watch movies. However, how do you set it up for a firestick or similar device (I actually have Roku, but it’s probably similar).

What are the requirements and challenges for opening a Thai bank account as a foreigner on a tourist visa?

Ruth *******

“Citizen id” card is most likely your driver’s license. If you don’t drive, you’d have an id card from your home country instead. The bank asks for a driver’s license in addition to one’s passport.
