Is it better to have my Social Security deposited in a US bank and transfer funds to Thailand as needed?

@Dave *******
 I mean Bangkok Bank special account for deposit of SSA. Last I heard it does not allow access by ATM or online. Only in person with passport and passbook. Not too cool if you are stuck somewhere out of Thailand like during covid restrictions.
