Question about parking a car in thailand
When you get home leave your car running in the drive and get a nice comfy lawn chair and sit it about 2 meters from the back of your truck... Have a nice sit for about 20 minutes and ponder your initial question... Btw... Don't try this in a closed garage as it could kill you...

How to find a short term rental?
Many of the bigger cities and islands have rental Facebook groups for rentals... Take a look at the offerings and then email the poster who most likely is an agent... They may not rent you that unit short term but you can build a relationship with the agent and give her your specifications and she will most likely be able to find a place... Be careful not to transfer a huge amout of cash initially... Pay a reasonable deposit and say you will pay balance in cash once you at property

Why Wise Deposit takes so long in the USA?
I don’t have the Wise debit card I use Bangkok Bank debit card here… Other may chime in on it… My guess is the fees from Wise and the ATM would be significant… The nice thing about Charles Schwab is they refund all ATM fees… And as you pointed out they give you nothing for funds not invested… I have a Fidelity account and they also refund all foreign ATM fees and money sitting in their cash position is invested in money market at around 4.5%… This is the account my SS check is deposited…

Why Wise Deposit takes so long in the USA?
I transfer funds from my Charles Schwab to me Wuse account... It usually arrives same day - No fee (US business time)... Once in my Wise USD account I can transfer to my BK Bank usually in a few hours... I always keep a month's worth of funds in the Wise USD account it gets almost 5%... If you go to your USD account and click more and then proof of accout details it will give you your Wise ACH info to link your US account to it... I've heard people have just linked the SS deposit directly to Wise using this ACH method...

Air Con experts please weigh in
The AC techs may be reticent to move the old AC... If it's old or a cheap brand they know there's a risk that in moving it they may damage it to the point it may not work... And they will most likely not get paid...
