Where should I setup a bank account in Trang?

"Expats considering retirement in Trang should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in Western countries, but can vary depending on lifestyle choices. Housing can range from affordable apartments to more expensive villas. Healthcare in Thailand is generally of a high standard, with both public and private hospitals available. However, it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance as medical costs can be high for non-residents. The official language is Thai, and while English is spoken in tourist areas and by some locals, it's beneficial to learn some basic Thai phrases. The climate in Trang is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity year-round, and a rainy season from May to November. Thai cuisine is world-renowned and Trang is no exception, with a variety of local dishes to try. However, Western food is also readily available. Thailand has a rich culture and history, and respecting local customs and traditions is important. This includes dressing modestly, particularly when visiting temples and other religious sites. Thailand's visa requirements should be thoroughly researched. Most countries can enter Thailand visa-free for 30 days, but longer stays will require a visa. Finally, it's important to consider safety. While Thailand is generally safe, it's always wise to take precautions, such as avoiding unlit areas at night and being aware of common scams," commented one expat who made the move to Trang, Thailand.
