Is it better to open a Thai bank account in the city where I apply for retirement or can I maintain my account after moving?

Roberto *********

No I don't. The app works fine, but I don't get any text messages. I do get an email each time I login to online banking.

Maybe that's it. All I know is I've made about ten out-of-province ATM withdrawals using contactless and haven't been charged, and I don't get any text message.
