Let us know how it goes if you do set it up. Wondering what rate they use when you do decide to move some money to the Thai bank.

Posts: 89In regard to Charles Schwab accounts
I know folks use their Schwab accounts to avoid ATM fees, but I just heard something I haven't seen mentioned in any WSG forum previously. Once you have a Thai address you can contact Schwab to have your account converted to an international account. Once you've done that you can avoid transfer fees when moving money to your Thai bank. Only catch is I think this only applies to USA accounts.

It's hard to know if this is a real crackdown.

Posts: 1937ATM information from an newbie / new poster
In order to keep myself from getting into trouble as a newbie / new poster. I will stick to colors instead of names. I am an expert in nothing Pattaya. But some experiences translate across countries. And I am reporting mine.
After pulling money out of several different brands of ATMs during my trip I now exclusively use the yellow ones. They have the name that starts with a K and often are next to the TT Money Exchange booths that are also yellow. The yellow ones allow me to pull 30,000 THB at a time. I prefer using "cash on the barrel head" as they say. Untraceable.
As for money exchanges I was walking past a TT Money Exchange booth tonight after stopping at a local place and having them make me some chicken fried rice. Made fresh while I waited and nice portion. I got it for take out and enjoyed it in my "room". 50 THB. But I digress. It was showing a rate of 35.77 THB for 1 USD.
Newbie tip: It is best to think in the currency of the country you are in. Here in Thailand that is THB. I use a simple method to translate THB into USD in my head. 100 THB is 3 USD. And in addition, learn LOCAL prices and get yourself off the tourist economy. Now, everyone can spend their money how they choose. Just friendly advice from a newbie / new poster but experienced worldwide expat.

If Thailand is not like other countries where if you get a residency visa you get a national ID card to go with it (I. E. The cedula granted by the Colombian or Dominican Republic governments) when they grant you a residency visa.
First trip to Thailand OH great one. I bow to you superior expertise. Please educate me. ROTFLMAO!.

She started by borrowing and paying back 1000 baht. Then 2000 baht.
Then 3000 baht. Prompt repayment.
But the next day, she asked for 10,000 baht. That was the loan she would never pay back, so I declined.
