Next time do yourself a favor bring the cash with you and open up a Thai bank account you can transfer funds from the US to your Thai bank account My First Fidelity account which is not the greatest one they charge $60 for international wires if you're going to wire a large sums of money but MoneyGram is another option you could utilize they only charge a dollar 99

Jack Cremin is this something you have experience with LOL...

Depending on where you are I would suggest Watson, or my wife just suggested go to Siam Paragon or Central world in Bangkok or just any regular department store like Robinson

Question what happens if you have a small apartment can you just take pictures outside of the apartment and pictures of us inside, we have actually been married for almost 2 years I've made several trips to Thailand already but I had to leave last April about a year ago to go back to the US to work and liquidate I am retired but I'm working on a couple houses right now and I will not be back until the latter part of 2027 or 28 hopefully I don't have any issues with older photos, we are legally married in Thailand and I have passport stamps reflective of a retirement Visa that expired this past December I understand I have to go through the whole process again apply for the non 0 and start over with the spousal Visa I currently have two Thai bank accounts , will they require a background check from my country is it something I need to bring with me ?

@Floyd *****

I have a farm in Maine on acreage houses in Florida and the place in Thailand, so no matter where you go in the US it's a burning dumpster fire whether it's New Jersey, California, Maine , Florida Nebraska, Montana it's all the same and it's because of the people and actually South Jersey has some of the best people I ever met in the the US. I had great clients there who enabled me to live independently now that I'm retired and didn't have to ride on the coattails of some government agency or military to get a check every month.. the US system is broken and it's because of these things I just mentioned..

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

exactly they have to get their own tourist visa but if he plans on marrying this woman or a cr1 Visa or even a k-1 Visa which is a fiance visa he would have to show that he can physically support her to even begin the process and right now they're not even issuing tourist visas to most people on that Donald Trump list

Don't waste your time even if you did why the hell would you subject heri to the US, please don't take this to offense but this is just my opinion

The only insurance that I could use from America over there was Blue Cross and Blue shield they accepted the card when I showed it to them but I think most insurances overseas are difficult I don't know if this is helpful information try to get the best quote you can when you're over there whatever is required

Doug Olson I'm just so disappointed in the culture I think you're right about 1980 that seems about the time when things are really started to change things are halfway decent up until about 1990 but I've been traveling abroad lately and my wife is from Asia been spending a lot of time over there unfortunately I'm stuck here in the US for another 3 years but my plan is to exit and live permanently in Asia much better quality of life and culture cost of living and everything

AC Cox but I actually most of the people here are horrible the culture is terrible dangerous there's not many of the traditional people like myself left it's really sad
