Thanks mate. A great no nonsense video👍

E'sim is something also to consider.......I'm still exploring it's potential as a novice.......Thanks for the great info Pete.

notify your banks of travel overseas to prevent card blocking take spare bank cards for alternative if one is lost (check expiry dates) enable roaming on home country mobile phone account and turn data off on arrival (sms can still be received at no cost for bank codes etc) travel insurance keep a copy of important phone numbers (such as bank and emergency contact) separate to phone

Thank you mate 👍

[@anthonymercer1234]

Mate loving your videos. Thank you. I'm heading back to Chiang Mai soon to set up my move in 2026.. Do I see you have t-shirts?? To promote your channel??

[@DiscoveringThailand]

There is no t shirt, but it's a great idea 👍

[@anthonymercer1234]

@DiscoveringThailand Thanks mate. I saw your shirt and wondered if it's your channel and you sell them. Might be another opportunity to raise your revenue?? I'm heading to Chiang Mai later in 2025 and going to contact your real estate agent recommendation. So thanks very much 🙏

Good advice Pete. Only allowed $10,000 Aus without reporting to customs. Can bring more with declaration.

My understanding is Wise and Revolut are not currently issuing new cards to USA citizens. With out a physical card one is unable to create a virtual card. Currently searching for an alternative. Take Care

12:17 could you share where is this spot at? The one with the train ?

Where did you get the Chang shirt?, i'm 6 1 as well and cant find my size in the markets

[@DiscoveringThailand]

XXL keep looking 😆

Thanks, that was a great video. Just wondering about pharmaceuticals. I have previously purchased antibiotics and blood pressure medications over the counter without a prescription. I'm not sure if there are medications that can't be bought over the counter. Maybe this could/should be a check-list item, especially if we are possibly required to provide information/evidence from our treating doctor.

[@DiscoveringThailand]

That's a good point. I bought 6 months worth of blood thinners from Australia. I'm told you can buy most without prescription.

Great checklist for newbies. If I go and stay in a hotel or BnB for 2 weeks, during that time, do you think if I went to an agent, can they help open a bank account even though I do not have long-term accommodation set up? or is it better to wait until I have a long-term condo contract in place? Thx for the great videos.

[@DiscoveringThailand]

Where I got mine done the agent used my hotel as my address, no problem 😊
