What essentials should I pack before moving to Thailand for the first time?

Mark *******

you are a pro!!! bring some cash too - just in case ( in $100 bills) but keep it very safe. also, don't keep all your credit cards in the same place.bring some good credit card ( no foreign fees) so you can get some points or cash back + Credit cards often have stronger fraud protection policies than debit cards.

What type of financial documents does the Thai embassy accept for a visa application?

In my case, they did not accept a brokerage account (Fidelity). I had to submit a statement from a checking or savings account at my bank. It worked.
