One option is to use direct deposit to a US account and withdraw funds at ATMs. Some banks like Fidelity and Schwab refund ATM fees, but they may have restrictions if they know you're living abroad. You could also withdraw THB in Thailand and convert to cash USD for extra options and a backup plan.

Yes, I receive my social security payments directly into my bank account here.

I send money from my US bank account to my Lao bank account using a service that specializes in international money transfers.

As long as you're still a US citizen, you should be able to receive the benefits. Do you have to report tax or pay tax on them?

Correct, as long as you're a US citizen. And no, you don't have to report tax or pay tax on them.
