What should I do about the secondary savings account that Bangkok Bank wants me to open?

Tom ******

A second account is a very good idea as you can keep your big money in one account and use the other for operating expenses using ATM card and QR payments. A FX account can also be useful.

Will my Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Paramount Plus work in Thailand?

Tom ******

Have used Nord VPN for a couple of years. Works well with YouTube tv which is not permitted in Thailand. For Netflix they advise you to stop using in USA before end of billing period and start up again in Thailand. I really like the Thai Netflix content. Your billing charge will not change.
