My 32 days in Nepal started with me landing at Kathmandu and running through the airport to find a bathroom. I hadn’t even tasted Nepali cuisine yet, but I was already suffering from a stomach ache and a bloated tummy. I had mentally prepared for this, but I never thought it would happen so quickly. Kathmandu is situated in a valley surrounded by the Himalayan mountains at an elevation of 1.400 meters, so I blamed the altitude. The visa on arrival at the airport is easy to obtain. You just need to register your information on their website and have the confirmation email on your phone. The cost is USD 35 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, or USD 125 for 90 days. You can pay directly at the airport in any currency or with a card (with an extra fee of USD 1). As you can guess, I paid for the 30-day visa but had to extend it by 2 days at the end of my trip.

Are you a frequent traveler to Thailand, tired of those 220 THB withdrawal fees every time you need cash? Perhaps you're considering the convenience of having your own Thai bank account but unsure of the process on a tourist visa. After exploring all the bank branches in Koh Phangan, I discovered that Bangkok Bank stands out as the only institution willing to accommodate tourists seeking to open a checking account in Thailand. Requirements Valid tourist visa : Make sure your current tourist visa has a minimum of 30 days remaining validity. Purchase 1 year of insurance at the bank : Bangkok Bank requires tourists to buy a year of insurance as a condition for opening a bank account. The cost of this insurance typically ranges from 5,900 to 7,000 THB. While this may seem like an additional expense, it facilitates the account-opening process and provides peace of mind during your stay in Thailand. After the initial year, you have the option to cancel the insurance if it no longer...
