Why would you work for an employer who asks you to put yourself at risk?

@Michael *******

and citizens of the UK may not have an issue. I don’t know exactly which ones do. I just remember folks not being able to board when I was taking a flight from China to the US through Canada. It was a mess. I felt so badly for them.

@Gaia ********

You see the part about needing an exit ticket for less than 30 days, right? Since you plan to stay for 2 months, it might be easier to get a 60-day visa.

@Michael *******

Canada requires a transit visa as well, although not for U.S. citizens. While the OP could be transiting through there, I expect she'd know U.S. citizens don't need visas in Canada.

I actually don’t get that from folks. They generally know people who have lived in Thailand. They DO, however, assume that I don’t know “what (I’m) in for”. I’m amazed how people assume others have as little experience as themselves and that clearly they are the only ones “in the know”. 🤣🤣🤣

@Mark *******

that doesn’t solve the problem asked

@Dan *******

the fee reimbursement is not just for overseas ATMs. It is for all ATMs that are not owned by the credit union. Thus, it’s not a matter of exchange rates being increased. I’m not sure why you feel and need to fight me on this matter.. Why does my accounts’ lack of fees matter so much to you? Why do you need to prove me wrong?

@Dan *******

yes. They reimburse. You can think whatever you want, including apparently believing you know better than someone with personal experience.

@Stuart ********

Meanwhile, a credit card would be rather silly :-). That's not proof of funds. That's proof of credit.

@Stuart ********

don't they also have ATMs at the airport? I haven't been to Thailand since 2020 (will be shortly) and I traveled throughout SE Asia, so it's all getting blended together, but I thought there were ATMs right there. I just don't see this presenting a big problem. I don't see them stopping someone from coming in because they have chosen not to carry cash around.
