If a VPN is used to log in to a site, set the VPN location to whatever country you need to use before logging in.

Really....you think that way? What are the citizens of Canada called?

Canadians (French: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. There are 3 countries in North America.....Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. I identify as an American.....I've always heard of Mexicans and Canadians and never heard a Mexican or Canadian referred to as an American. You know, like 'American Citizen' or 'Canadian Citizen'. I live in America - the United States of America.

My Flight #QR838 on 23 March was less than half full and also received emails twice to upgrade and sit in Biz. QR837 going back this week was booked solid. 777ER

I’m here on visa exempt, only for 14 days. First time to Thailand.

I just opened an account with ATM and online banking.

I used an agent in Pattaya.

Bangkok Bank

No problem vouching for me. But sometimes she tells more information than is needed and I think that what she said to bank manager was enough for him not to help me open account or something he didn’t need to know.

Going to see a broker and maybe this is the easiest way.

Pay to play.

Ok….for those who used an agent this year, 2022 in BKK and no problem on tourist visa - agent name and location??? Telephone/mobile number??

TIA

That did not work for me at Kasicorn inside Lotus Khon Kaen. Some BS about 2 weeks in que, IDK WTF he wanted….but it did not help having Thai GF with me at her bank.

No! My travel insurance from USA states, HOSPITEL if ordered by authorities or medical- it pays 100% of HospiTEL costs up to policy limits.

My policy was purchased thru AAA In USA.

3 to 7 working days for approval. Are Saturday and Sunday working days?

@Ma***

I think so too. There's no reason to require insurance, but only accept payment from patient.
