City center to bkk should be no problem. In case of emergency, there are tuk tuk or you can walk to any hotels and ask them to call you a taxi as well

@Paul *******

I have nord as well but have been told express vpn is faster in Thailand.

@Charlie *****

@Charlie *****

keep in mind insurance is not like back home they’ll do their best not to cover you and try to make it seem like it’s your fault. Foked around n found out

@Brian *******

I take out 20-25k each time from Schwab(sometimes multiple times/mo) then deposit the cash(atm with cdm) into my Bangkok Bank account all via ATM machine. The fees will be refunded at the end of the month.

Capital one/Discover is paying 4-6% on their savings account so I keep my money there. I’m not sure what the rates are now.

Schwab charges $15/ wire transfer no matter what the amount so if I want to transfer large amount ie condo purchase/visa renewal I’ll go this route.

They have great customer service

@Ken ******

very strong I saw with my own 2 eyes. I had to deal with embassy, CW and agency. It’s like I was being played by all 3 as at the end of the day, it benefits all of them. Had I known what I know now, I may not have sold all my belongings.

@Ken ******

Ken have you tried recently? We tried on our own and we were basically given the runaround. Hint we got is to hire an agent(VISWICS) as I got tired of bouncing. Now I am not sure why I was chosen to be given a difficult time as I’m sure this is not the every case but I could not do it on our own. It got done with an agent immediately but they were telling us this and that each time, I got tired of the hassle. Just my own recent case. It seems they’re out for money right now as I witnessed exchanging of money right in front of me but what do I care it got done finally

@Dale *******

I believe you can stay in Thailand for up to 8 or 9 months via land/air border bounces etc. it seems like this would be a better route for you without having to tie up 800,000 THB and having to hire an agent. is the ideal way to do it, I envy you. Do a search it ll tell you how long you can stay here etc…
