I didn't have to set it up to have checking privileges. But since that was 39 years ago... things may be different now. The other difference is that my Schwab account is still a domestic one.   As far as I know, BBL is the only bank that applies restrictions to accounts that receive SS benefit transfers. Initially, BBL was the ONLY Thai bank that could receive electronic deposits of SS benefits. In 2019-2020 a new system of international direct deposit (IDD) became possible. It allowed recipients to use a normal savings account at any major Thai bank to receive their SS. I think BBL still offers the OLD direct deposit method that requires the receiving account be restricted to withdrawals in person. I believe you can also set up BBL to receive the new IDD into an account without those restrictions.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 15:06:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Looking For A Retirement Visa Vis Agent.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394428-looking-for-a-retirement-visa-vis-agent/?do=findComment&comment=20530521]]></link><description>With TVC it's pretty much a given that they wouldn't accept your application if they cannot guarantee successful processing.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 15:02:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Query about US expats using Medicare A and B during US visits</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395497-query-about-us-expats-using-medicare-a-and-b-during-us-visits/?do=findComment&comment=20530520]]></link><description>I hope you and I both have more than 10 left.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 14:56:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What New Computer Setup?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395421-what-new-computer-setup/?do=findComment&comment=20530519]]></link><description>"The mini should have an earphone and a mic jack".

Stating when the first strike was in this war (which was started by America and Israel) and you say that means that person would rather see a Mullah in the White House, Sharia in Europe, Israel wiped off the map and the Crematoriums smoking.  How does a normal human being take that leap? It is bizarre, and frankly slightly insane.   I now think there are two people on this forum who need an intervention. And a third who is borderline.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 14:31:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Shocking Report about the IDF&#xB4;s Torture and Rape Methods</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1393130-shocking-report-about-the-idf%C2%B4s-torture-and-rape-methods/?do=findComment&comment=20530505]]></link><description>Great post.  I wanted to dig deeper into that and asked AI how many Israelis committed crimes in Denmark at the same time. Here's the answer:  Official Danish statistics track crime rates and convictions by country of origin, but do not publish those about Israeli nationals. But there are well-documented public statistics regarding the crime rates of Palestinians in Denmark.  Shamed be he who thinks evil of it.  When you keep in mind that, approximately 99% of Denmark's Jewish population survived the Holocaust as the Danish resistance smuggled them to safety in neutral Sweden, the solution is clear. Send the Palestinians back to their home country and get the Jews back into their safe haven, Denmark.
