And yet, here you are speaking with a genuine North American who has no interest in the things you mention and views trying to change society as futile as trying to boil the ocean. 🤣😂🤪
Me, I tend to think more along the lines of Francis Bacon who supposedly declared, "Truth is a good dog, but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out."
There is VERY little originating on facebook that I take too seriously.
I'm old, retired, live in Thailand, and somehow avoided the scourges of poverty, alcoholism, drug dependency, STDs, and an unhealthy interest in the activities of my fellow human beings.
So, opening a Thai bank account is difficult these days, but not impossible.
However, you can only open in person. Best to use an agent - Bangkok Bank seems to be the bank most interested and willing to set up a foreigner.
Expect to pay 1500-5000 baht fee to agent. Then an hour or so at the bank signing enough papers to kill two trees. However, you will exit the bank with a working debit card and their very useful ap installed on your mobile.
These are the conditions at the moment. In a few years, who knows?
