Like Christopher above, suggest you can buy their accident insurance. Seemed to do the trick for me and wife. Not very expensive

@Alex ********

oh no. Really?? Sorry to hear that, thanks.

Agree with many above, Skype gets through to banks, businesses easily. Very inexpensive

@Thomas ******

exactly Tom. They "had never seen the visa before", LOL. We finally succeeded at Bangkok bank with my clever talking Thai wife, plus a little bribe of buying some BS accident insurance for a year

@Stuart *****

ooh, nice cynical response Stu, with truth. I'm 77, with some health problems, never thought about the kicking the bucket //Thai govt stealing your money angle. Maybe my dear Thai wife can withdraw before I'm actually dead (he says seriously with a grim black humorous grin)

@Brandon ***********

very good answer. My small quibble re: "relatively easy to open bank account". Went through that not too long ago in Ubon, was not so "easy" until I got married, even then not so easy. From MY experience, and what I've seen on threads here, lots of folks get jerked around in a rather hit or miss, arbitrary, depends on the bank or clerk's mood, type stuff . Cheers

I often see 2 types of attitudes in these threads. "Why are u asking these questions, u r just dumb and/or lazy, everything is clear , govt rules not really arbitrary/corrupt"; VS "everything is corrupt, rules vary wildly depending on deliberately greedy and/or stupid/.mean govt hacks". For me truth near middle of that continuum.

True. Not a huge difference, but annoyingly true I discovered

Mister pharmacy, honey manchando, has been my reliable source. I've tried ordering on iherb, they say not deliverable to your location.

I have a friend who takes similar antidepressants who has little trouble obtaining them, visits a psychiatrist every 6 mos for a simple evaluation .I similarly had little trouble receiving some cognitively enhancing meds, which in general are less expensive than other places, as others above mentioned. Have no idea about your ADHD stuff. Smart to get on this soon, sometimes making appts can be difficult. Good luck.
