Opening a Thai bank account for Immigration purposes.
I had to go to my two banks Bangkok bank and Kasikorn to change my phone number. Both branches near my home in Bang Bon. Bkk bank was an hour of my time plus 20 pieces of paper from bank documents to copies of passport, visa etc 22 signatures later I walked out having successfully changed my ph no. Then Kasikorn bank. 4 pages and signatures and done using an english speaking banker from head office on the phone. The last question was would you like sms messages? The cost 198 baht per month and a 20 baht annual fee. I get that free from Bkk bank. When I actually opened my account at Kasikorn in December last it was a nightmare in itself, even though I already had an account with Bangkok bank. Despite a passport, retirement visa, proof of address, what got me over the line after 2 hours in the bank was my childs' birth certificate with me as the father. They then told me that I was lucky as there were new govt restrictions on opening a bank account coming into force the next month which would make it even harder. Maybe in a tourist area like Pattaya it may be easier but it is certainly not my experience unless you use a visa agent with their "connections". From my experience the days of opening a bank account without a long term visa, work permit etc are long gone. -

You have really shown your true colours as a biased city dweller. 30 staff sorting their own transport and location of that work, to in a foreign country, yeah right, sorting someone to cook and feed those same thirty people, most don't speak any Thai so yeah, YOU KNOW IT ALL. Have a term I haven't used in ages for people like you, DIP STICK. You are a dope, you just don't realise it yet.
