thank you, tried that. They wanted proof of residency. I appreciate your response though. My main goal is getting my money in place before my move. As I have said before, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping make everyone's transition to Thailand as painless as possible. 👍 I will add as an after thought, that my gf is a Lao lady that lives in Tha Bo on a visa. Her son ( thai born) is her guarantor.

in Tha Bo it was a hard No from every bank, not a lot of choices. Any suggestions? Won't be there permanently until Dec 2024, just wanted to get finances set, if I can.

agreed, as a driver in the U.S, what one officer might ticket you for another officer might not even care about.

@Frank *********

agree, took 20 minutes. Will also note that you don't have to be a AAA member.

does he also need the motorcycle endorsement on his U.S. drivers license as well? I was told my IDP only covers what I am licensed for in the U.S.

I have seen you not be civil, I was just glossing you up🙂 I have seen questions that I have thought "are you serious, right now?" and you were much nicer than I might have been. Not necessarily civil, but by no means mean even if they might have deserved a little sass. Take good care.

, this a little off-topic but, I just wanted to give you a shout-out for all your awesome advice on this page. I have gained quite a bit of knowledge just paying attention to your responses. I also like the fact that you speak in a civil manner to people regardless of the question. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

@Cherie *******

it sounded dangerous because leaving your home and moving overseas is something so alien to her that she couldn't begin to comprehend it. I work on a military base where most are well traveled and when I mention moving to Thailand next year, I usually get " that sounds so awesome "

TiT= Thailand is Thailand?

Even if retirement doesn't work for you there, you should definitely go. It's a beautiful country.
