Is it worth getting an agent to manage my Thai visa requirements if I have 800,000 Baht but don't want to tie it up in a bank?

 I keep hearing that rumor and that’s what it is. It’s easy.

 lots of people get bank accounts with tourist visas. It depends on the branch manager.

Just wait till you go for your extension. You can pay the 2000 baht fine then.

 I’m talking about using my American bank debit card, Charles Schwab, to go to the Bangkok Bank ATM and pull money out.

@Jacques ****
 get a Charles Schwab bank account before you leave America. There’s no ATM fees. I saved over $500 in ATM fees in the last 12 months.

Also get an international drivers license before you leave so you can skip the test here when you get a Thai DL.

I’ve been married to a Thai for 18 years. It’s been heaven on earth. Never about money. But before that, I dated many and also never about money.
