Brook ********

Make sure you inspect each Thai note they give you and refuse any with rips, tears, folds or marks.

If they ask you why, tell them, “exactly.”

What type of insurance should a 70-year-old consider when visiting Thailand for three months?

Brook ********

Buy travel insurance the day you book your flight from a good provider such as World Nomads.

Don’t wait to purchase the travel insurance because the price and benefits will change the more time passes from the day of booking.

What is the best way to open a Thai bank account with 400,000 Baht for a marriage visa?

Brook ********

Asked and answered here many times. Use the search feature to review.

Rules can vary in each province. Some may require proof funds came from outside Thailand.

Open a separate, fixed deposit (2% interest bearing) account in your name for sure, and don’t use it for anything else.
