  1. In addition the the Charles Schwab Investor Checking Account, Fidelity Cash Management Account also refunds all foreign ATM transaction fees. The only difference is that Fidelity refunds immediately and Charles Schwab refunds at the end of each month.
  2. I cured my toe fungus with Vaseline (petroleum jelly) applied twice/day.
  3. Thank you. I'm not sure if being in Mauritius is a good or bad thing. Do you have any insights into HCI Group? Healthcare international. I'm being offered a policy from them through a broker. They apparently cover heart attack & stroke even though I have high blood pressure, albeit with a 30% additional premium
  4. Please let me know if you have any claims experiences with this company. Trustpilot reviews look (mostly) good. From what I can tell in my limited research, the policy terms are clear and fit my needs. Even their 13 page "Policy Wording" document is accessible and seem more reasonable than others.

  5. Would a Roth IRA conversion in USA be considered income? Its definitely a taxable event in the USA.
  6. I'm interested in the DTV as an alternative to the Non-Immigrant O-A and Non-Immigrant O visas. I don't intend to retire in Thailand until early 2026, but am tempted to apply for this now, before it changes or goes away. If I'm granted the DTV, does my wife have to pay an additional 10,000 THB (or US$400 in our case) to apply separately as my spouse?
  7. I believe this is exactly what Tim Newton (Australian) does. He has a few Airbnb houses he rents on Phuket. See his YouTube channel - Tim Newton Today (TNT).
  8. Medical Mass from feminized seeds. Short & bushy. Not the best yield, but relatively tolerant of poor growing conditions.
  9. I've stayed at an Airbnb several times in Thailand. All less than 30 days. Never asked for my passport or passport number and Airbnb doesn't have it either.
  10. Does one need a prescription to purchase a CPAP in Thailand? I was wondering what I'd do if mine quit.
  11. Yes, this is how I understood the case to be today. My wife and I (both USA citizens) would both be required to have separate 800K THB minimum bank accounts the first year. Not really a problem other than the loss of interest we can receive at "home".
  12. For the non-Immigrant O-A visa, are both local (California) and federal (FBI) criminal background checks required?
  13. Please clarify this for me. Like the OP, I do not have 65K THB passive income. I do have enough savings to transfer 130K THB/month (me & the wife) for 10+ years before our pensions and social security starts. Can we transfer in 65K THB each per month from our savings to avoid the 800K THB each in a Thai bank? I didn't think this was possible.
  14. I purchased generic Tramadol (Damol brand name) from Siam Pharmacy at the base of the Phloen Chit BTS station in Bangkok last week. 50mg tablets. 20 tablets for 80 Baht. I haven't used any yet so can't judge the effectiveness.
  15. I was a tourist driving a Bangkok rental last week. Went through a checkpoint on the canal road at the border of Hua Hin & Cha-Am. I was waved through.
