I’m following this with great interest. Ideally, I would like to live in Cambodia. However, I need monthly “medical treatments” (actually, an injection I do myself in the States, but I’ve heard I need to have a doctor do in Thailand) that, within SE Asia, are only available in Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore. So far, I only have the name of a Thai doctor. I had been planning to live in Thailand, but some of the changes in the last couple years have me thinking Cambodia is a better option. The medical is now the one sticky point. I’m arriving in Thailand hopefully in October and will do more investigation once there, but I’m very interested to see what other suggestions you receive.

Graham Seal I see that is added now.

I’m curious how you got your account and money transferred before going to Thailand.

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?
