Brandon,

I went to Vietnam recently as well. Departing from BKK. Nobody asked me for insurance either leaving LOS or entering Vietnam.

( I did actually have travel insurance as it's better to be safe than sorry, btw)

depending on your singular circumstances, it may or may not be a requirement...

Dee money won't do it without converting to Thai baht, btw.

Good question.

I don't think any Thai Bank will do that...

Do look into WISE

Not sure if that would work, mate-- but interested in your results.

Good luck

Generally speaking, off the cuff, for international ticket prices, I'd say that there's an upgrade to the Thai market outlook for the airline industry’s 2022 financial performance as the pace of recovery from the COVID-19 crisis quickens. Forecast highlights include:

Industry losses are expected to reduce to -$9.7 billion (improved from the October 2021 forecast for an $11.6 billion loss) for a net loss margin of -1.2%. That is a huge improvement from losses of $137.7 billion (-36.0% net margin) in 2020 and $42.1 billion (-8.3% net margin) in 2021.

Industry-wide profitability in 2023 appears within reach -- already expected to deliver an $8.8 billion profit in 2022.

Efficiency gains and improving yields are helping airlines to reduce losses even with rising labor and fuel costs (the latter driven by a +40% increase in the world oil price and a widening crack spread this year).

Industry optimism and commitment to emissions reductions are evident in the expected net delivery of aircraft in 2022.

Strong pent-up demand, the lifting of travel restrictions in most markets, low unemployment in most countries, and expanded personal savings are fueling a resurgence in demand that will see passenger numbers reach 83% of pre-pandemic levels in 2022.

Despite economic challenges, cargo volumes are expected to set a record high of 68.4 million tonnes in 2022.

Airlines are resilient. People are flying in ever greater numbers. And cargo is performing well against a backdrop of growing economic uncertainty. Losses will be cut to $9.7 billion this year and profitability is on the horizon for 2023. It is a time for optimism, even if there are still challenges on costs, particularly fuel, and some lingering restrictions in a few key markets, such as Thailand. Therefore, prices will rise in the near future and onward into 2023.
