How do cultural differences in daily living influence expats' experiences in Thailand, particularly regarding kitchens and laundry?

Danny *******

@Catherine **********

A gas stove like this and a rice cooker is usually all they need to cook Thai dishes. They just don't need all the stuff we are used to. If you need to cook western dishes it won't be easy but you can get used to it.

I've never seen a high-rise urban condo with no kitchen at all. They don't have Western ones like you are probably used to but they have at least usually a small hob, sink and refrigerator which is all a Thai needs.

The implications was there when you said they eat out and use laundry services and therefore don't need a kitchen or laundry room. Both not true.

You haven't lived around a lot of Thais. Most can cook a great meal on top of a propane tank and wash their clothes in a pan. They're not lazy, they just don't need all you do.

Is it advisable for expats to open a joint or separate bank account in Thailand when moving with a partner?

Danny *******

@Michael ******

I understand. I’m just saying we are married but no certificate proof and had a joint account that they let us use at first, then they wanted separate accounts or proof of the marriage. Separate accounts was easier.

@Michael ******

Why? We've never been asked for it. They treat us like to separate retirees with our own 800 baht account. Why would they need it?

What are the best ways to transfer money from the US to Thailand and how can retirees open a bank account?

Danny *******

@Steve *********

Many here seem to go ballistic when you suggest using a regular bank but mine has worked fine for me and the exchange rate has always been competitive. Been using the same one for 15 years to transfer funds to Thailand.

Yea, I don't know since this isn't a problem I have. Maybe it's how it reads on some Thai banks statements since that is what you'd be providing Immigration. So, maybe a bank issue as much as a WISE issue.
