@Khun ****
did you try jomtien 2nd road?Khun *****
@Toni ******
no I gave up after going 4-5 different banks
Kevin ********
@Toni ******
no, legislation was passed I believe to do with money laundering, that included the opening of new accounts and how they are opened and by whom. So tourists became a problem.This year alone in the 1st 6 months they shut down around 400,000 suspect accounts for various resosns.

@Jared ********
do they have official rules now, or just keep people guessing?
