Thanks. Who is CW?

Ah....good advice. I wanna try those farang friendly branches until success. I'll be staying near Democracy Monument to start off. Maybe move to Silom Road area after that. I've spent lots of time in Bangkok and can get around easily. Which branch should I start with? Thanks.

I'll be staying in Thailand and would like to open a Bangkok Bank Savings account for the ease of having an ATM card. I'll be on a Tourist Visa but will NOT have a work permit nor permanent residence. The Bangkok Bank website (Savings Account (bangkokbank.com) says foreigners can open with "A reference letter issued by an overseas bank where the customer holds an account sent via SWIFT." I have a WISE account. How would I get that reference letter? Or are there some Bangkok Bank branches where a foreigner can open a Savings Account without that paperwork? Appreciate any advice.

Travel to the United States

I contracted COVID on Koh Phangan. I was then ordered to do a ten-day isolation by the government hospital here. After completing the ten-day isolation, the hospital issued this certificate attached. Is this certificate sufficient for travel? It says I completed the home isolation but doesn’t use the word “recovered.” Do I need to get another certificate (for example from Dr. Donna at MedConsult)? Thanks for your advice

Thanks. Do you mind sharing contact information for this extremely reputable Thai company? Fees seem reasonable for a reputable company. Regards.

Can you refer such an insurance company or law firm, please.

Thanks Paul. Purchasing an annuity from a Thai insurance company would solve the problem. But I've not found a Thai insurance company that sells annuities. Can you please refer me? Regards

I want to transfer $30,000 USD to a Thai citizen’s baht account in Thailand. But I do NOT want the entire sum to be transferred all at once. Instead, I’m looking for a way to establish an income stream that will AUTOMATICALLY make transfers of $150 USD for two hundred months. Here’s the reason: Because of cultural and family complications, my beneficiary in Thailand would do better with a “monthly income stream” as opposed to “a lump sum payment.” Once I initiate the transfer, I will not want to cancel or modify it. Also, I want transfers to continue monthly until all $30,000 USD is gone EVEN IF I DIE FIRST. In essence, I want to buy an annuity for my Thai beneficiary, but I don’t believe annuities are available in Thailand. Can anyone think of a way to make this happen? Is there a financial product or service that could do this? I know this service would be of interest to other people who want to provide an income stream to close friends or loved ones in Thailand. I appreciate any help.
