Thanks for the replies and suggestions. We are currently in the states, preparing for retirement. Maybe end of the year...... Wife ( Thai / US) will be visiting Thailand for Songkran. She would like to start an account with a bank which will facilitate our future needs, like expat account for marriage / retirement visa needs and banking from US.

Greetings, We are ready to start an account with a Thai bank for retirement. Looking for ease of banking between USA and Thailand. I am US national, wife has dual Thai / US nationality. This info has been talked about many times, but I have not found how to effectively use the search functions.... Thanks

As a side note, here is text (my underline) about USA entry from us gov website yesterday, 1/25/2022, Great business opportunity.. Travelers must show documentation of a negative viral COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 within the past 90 days before boarding a plane to the United States (or before boarding the first flight in a series of connections booked on the same itinerary to the United States). Both nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), such as a PCR test, and antigen tests qualify. A self-test can be used if it meets the requirements of the order including real-time proctoring by a telehealth service affiliated with the manufacturer of the test and that generates a test result that can be reviewed by the airline before boarding.    This is the same standard for qualifying tests that has applied to the pre-departure testing requirement since January.

The ans thailand location at the airport is closed, moved to Central Village Mall. Still nearby airport but difficult communication. After several search's of testing locations near airport, gave up and made appointment at "med consult" 30 minutes from airport (link in Sheryl's response earlier). Easy communication and some history of clients. Will try contacting the location at the airport shown in "TreeTops" response. Interesting nothing comes up for search's of covid testing at and near airport?? Thanks again for the responses.

Greetings all, Looking for assistance understanding how / where to set up a covid test for flight to USA. Would like to set up easiest acceptable test for USA entry next Saturday near Swampy airport. Will be booking hotel near airport night before flight out early Sunday morning. Reading now of needing a test one day before departure. Is there a difference between one day before and 24 hours before? Perhaps one of the airport hotels providing service? Thanks
