there is a bank cartel in Thailand that said all banks must take that xenophobic tourist rip off fee. 💀 I don't think that exists in any other country. That cartel would get destroyed really fast in the EU. 😉
there is a difference what I can and what I want to afford. I definitely don't want to afford xenophobic rip offs. So I also never want to any of these shitty 6x dual pricing "national parks" in this xenophobic country. 😉
why should I use an inferior local bank account when I get nearly no fees, the best exchange rates and 2% cashback on credit card payments with Revolut? 😅
the difference is that I guess you're not paying a xenophobic rip off ATM withdrawal fee ff disgusting 220baht at every ATM there. So there is absolutely no reason to open a bank account as a tourist there.
