Yep

Book the domestic carrier that has partnership with your international carrier

Book all on the same ticket and you will have the same luggage rules. You will fly through BKK and do customs and immigration in Chiang Mai.

Alternatively, use an airline that goes directly to Chiang Mai INTERNATIONAL airport CNX. China Air for example flies there from Taipei.

You may be able to make a domestic transfer from the BB New York branch to your Schwab account.

I am able to do the reverse sending money from Chase to BBNY. Fee is about $30.

you are incredibly fortunate to have the group’s most knowledgeable members reaching out to you.

Good luck with your adventure in Thailand!

You can hop in and out of Thailand using it as your hub for travel to the surrounding countries. I do this every visit there.

You will stamp in as visa exempt for 30 days.

Make sure you stay less than 30 days and then stamp out and go elsewhere.

At some point the immigration officer may ask when you are going home. Just show your return tickets to UK.

Have a great trip, relax and enjoy.

Asia is REALLY different from home so take your time to adjust. The people everywhere are charming and hospitable, especially if you are with a kid.

@Hoang *******

it’s not just about the airline or Thai immigration. Either one can blacklist you and you can’t fix it.

Back off and retain the opportunity to fly.

@John **********

with that attitude it’s best you stay home and out of trouble.

@Bill *******

She can’t get a visa for Mexico either.

Be careful making a big fuss.

Airline and immigration can do whatever they like and you can’t fix it.

If you really piss someone off you might bet blacklisted for any type of airline flights.

Then YOU are done….

It is extremely difficult to bring a young person, especially a woman from a Third World country to USA.

They are all considered a flight risk.

They have to show a very strong reason to go back home.

Try having her travel to other more cooperative Western countries first.

She needs money, land, job,car, children etc back home.

Good luck.
