Any recommendations for helpful/decent shops?

From Mae Rim to towards  Chiang Mai a bit past Macro on same side is a small but good bike shop, many bikes visible in front.  It is just about across from the Tire Plus shop, big tire shop.

and I guarantee the rate applied from your precious Schwab transfer will reflect the supposed "free" element !

You don’t get it at all.  The rate has nothing to do with Schwab, they send dollars.  Rate is determined by recipient bank and is easily verified on their public posts.

Good luck with your delusional logic.

I'm still waiting for him to explain how he's managed to find the holy grail of foreign exchange dispatch.....

 

Schwab International account,  not hard to find.  There are even several others similar if you care to look instead of making seemingly intelligent but truly uninformed comments.

Thank you Bill97

 

Do you get a better rate using an International Account or Regular Account

 

Rate is up to receiving Thai bank.  With International account wire is free,  very small charge from Bkk Bank to receive.

Never sent from regular acct.

If your credit card is refused, don't keep trying to use it. Call them immediately.

He is using a debit card not a credit card.

I criticize them from outside for all the things which they don't do or don't do good enough? Or do I become a member and be part of the problem?

Other better options. 
 

Why do you only suggest two negative choices?

I plan to buy a used car for around 50 k usd. A new one will cost at least 100 k and that is amount I don’t wish to pay for a car. I would definitely go for a new one if I wanted to buy a less luxurious brand.

Such numbers!!!

I don’t really want to give them ethernet cables, laser printer, and such items, which I am sure they have no use for.

Oh they will turn them into cash in a few days.

Just beat the crap out of them, they will understand

Slightly off subject… But when one does their one year visa renewal can one also get a single reentry permit that could be used anytime during the duration of the one year renewal? 

Yes

I don't know about Schwab, but their debit card might also only be available to US residents. 

No you can get one with their international account for sure.

Proof of address they accept US bank, credit card or financial institution statement showing Thai address.  For international account application.
