Deepak Dutta I've heard of some people's accounts getting closed because of this but idk. Also, if we do transfer from US Bank account to Thai bank is there taxes to be paid? I know atm withdrawals are not taxed at all I have Fidelity and it worked great for 2 months in Asia for me.

Are there really people that move to Thailand having all their money in a high yield savings? I know it's recommended to have most money in a brokerage or real estate. But it's not liquid that way. I'm asking seriously because I'm preparing to move.

Have you had any bad luck as far as Charles Schwab closing your account if you live overseas? I've heard stories like that, also heard that it is necessary to open the international version of the Schwab account. I'm preparing for when I move to Thailand.
