My advice is not to drive if you have never driven on the left side of the road. Motorcycles 🏍 are everywhere and drive in-between cars. When I am in Chiang Mai my Thai finance drives me everywhere.

I took the bus 🚌 from Bangkok Airport 🛫 to Pattaya City. Very cheap and comfortable too with a/c

I am planning on calling Schwab Global international on Monday to ask them if I can keep my checking account if I am living overseas with a foreign address. Good idea or bad? P.S. I do have a US address I can use in Vegas, my current roommate, but I would prefer to be 'upfront' with SS, Medicare, and Charles Schwab moving out of the country.

Thanks again Marty. I will wait to move to Thailand before notifying Manila SS. However, I'm worried that my US bank, Charles Schwab Checking account will find out about my Thai address and cancel my account.
