Would using the VIP fastrack service of Bangkok Airport Limousine be another option? After your post, I started to do some research on fast track entry and I probably should have used a service like that a couple of weeks ago when returning to Thailand.

Yes, if you listen to Luke Gromen, Andy Schectman (Miles Franklin), and others it makes a lot of sense of how the US is driving down the USD, buying more gold (like BRICS countries have been for years), and will reset the USD a some point in the future to reduce/devalue the debt. The US won't let the USD rise much from here as it would hurt their plans.

DXY is at 98.50 and 100 to 101 looks like strong resistance, especially if more interest rate cuts are forthcoming.

The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has started working on measures to decrease the strength of the baht like forcing purchasing of Gold with USD and taxing those transactions.

one year unlimited plan at AIS about 1850 baht, it works good, but only like 1Mbps

No, they did not. Because I had colon cancer two years ago and since it tends to spread to either the liver or lungs, they were focused on cancer recurrence as the most likely option and didn't want to test for anything else

Unfortunately, the lung nodules showed up in both lungs on a CT calcium score at Pattaya Bangkok Hospital after only being in Thailand for two months and then a couple of months later on at PET\CT scan at Bangkok hospital through an oncologist at Samitivej Sukhumvit. They did not mention other potential causes like PM2.5 or sarcoidosis or tuberculosis and didn't want to test for those. I was wondering if many expats have lung nodules show up on scans.

Okay, so do you know of a group for health issues in Thailand, especially for expats?

Yes, if you have an account with Bangkok Bank, go to your branch and request access to use Western Union through Bangkok Bank mobile app. As a backup, you can also go to Central shopping center and sign up Western Union there. You will need to be able to have SMS sent to your phone to use Central's Western Union account.

Not after what happened to the retired couple from the UK down in Hua Hin.

Many thanks to all

Go to a different bank ATM for another $20k or $30k. At 7-Eleven there are often two different bank atms. My Retirement visa, one year extension, and opening of Bangkok bank was a little over $30 and I had to do this.
