In my case go to the bank the first day and open the account with my ID and funds.
Second day the deposit is made by the agent and the necessary document acquired from the bank. Immediately after the agent will instruct you to transfer the funds back to them
I moved to Thailand with two suitcases. No furniture or sentimental, etc.
What I found here is that electronics are more expensive and of course designed for a Thai market. Keyboards etc. are tie or combination Thai and English alphabet.
What I miss from the US is personal items such as toothpaste, shaving cream, razor blades those things are different, and in my opinion the quality is not as good here
