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?

Tong *****

My Bangkok bank account was opened in Silom. Lost my card in Jomtien where I now live and local branch wouldn't replace it. They would rather go to the bother of opening a whole new account 🤷

What are the best affordable VPN options for streaming in Thailand?

Tong *****

Expect many different replies all swearing by their particular VPN. However what one person is happy with doesn't suit all. Folk swear by surfshark but I tried it and it was awful.

Probably go for one with good reviews but see if there is something like a 30 day free trial. Watch the rugby then bin it if you don't want to keep it.
