My Bank in the USA won’t let me access my account with a VPN. From Thailand.

My Thai wife is now a US citizen but she always enters Thailand with her Thai passport. No lines and we breeze thru with me following. Bring the old Thai passport and get it renewed in Thailand. Someday that will come in handy. Believe me.

I know Thailand allows 20K but leaving the USA with more than 10K UNDECLARED is a problem.

It's legal to travel with more than $10,000 in the United States and abroad. You have the right to travel with as much money as you want. However, during international travel, you need to report currency and monetary instruments in excess of $10,000

10K

Yeah. Fast track at the Airport, tip for driver 200 baht. Change a couple days expenses at the Airport to get by, then you’ll find money exchange out in town that give a better rate.

Time for a garage sale in Canada Debbie. Really important stuff just pack into a 3rd large suitcase and pay the Airlines extra bag fee.

Do it Monday. Get there before it opens. It’s like DMV. Bring your resident form TM 30 from hotel or apartment. Also bring a passport photo and your passport. In the back of the line is a table with the form fill it out and get in line. At the front of the line hand your paperwork to the girl. She will use a glue stick to put your photo on the paperwork you just filled out. She will give you a plastic number. Go to the next area that has seats. Wait until your number is called and go in another office with about 10 seats, they will call you to a window. Hand them the passport and paperwork that was already assembled by the girl in the first line. Pay them 1900 baht in cash. Go outside and sit again, make jokes with the guy from Kuwait about car-pit bom-bing his country. He will laugh. Soon they announce to go to the table and a girl will handout about 5 passports. If you’re late expect them to close entirely for lunch. Don’t be late. Your passport will add 31 days to your previous exit date. Good luck.
