Why not have SSA do monthly direct deposits into your Thai bank account? Not the very best rates, but once you fill out and submit forms, is easy, done and dusted, set and forget!
I've heard there are plenty that do that, but for the few who get caught, it's got to be pure Hell, being detained, locked up in a cell, then deported, leaving behind everything that made up your Thai life 😩
Many knowledgeable people in this group, (I'm not one of them) but it's a Friday and not always the best day for an answer, as many go traveling, are socializing, etc today. Check for answers here tomorrow 🙏
