The issue certainly is not one of trust. I want to do this because they are my friends It was an issue that the laptop I have here in the US that I wanted to give eclipses in all capacities and functions, any lap top I can currently afford to pay for over there, new or used.
I received one extension earlier this year via going to Cambodia and back. I am now back in the US. I am planning a trip back to Thailand in August or September. I have determined I desire to retire there, or at last live most of the year there.
I have a Schab debit card. They refund all ATM fees and has a $1K USD limit per day. and allow two withdrawals in a day so I can get to the $1K limit in baht. Not sur what the month limit is . I opened an account with Charles Schwab specifically for this benefit. I use Bangkok Bank ATM's because they allow for larger withdrawals of baht than other banks, 25K baht. They seem to give a good exchange rate. Cash at Super Rich, which now has a new name, is probably the best overall. They want new US bills and give the best rate for $100 bills.
