How are DTV holders currently paying their rent in Thailand without Thai bank account access?

I have a tourist visa. I have a thai bank account, even 2! Nothing was closed. Where did you hear that from? Those who managed to get an account use it for several years. 😆

It was all the time hard to get a bank account in Thailand bc normally they do not speak English at the branches, I opened my first account 25 years ago on 30 day trip, over the last 15 years I had accounts in 7 different banks. All the DTV holders incapable to solve things in Thailand. You can still get bank accounts but you have to put efforts in it. Thailand is not a country for people who start whining and complaining when a problem pop up. Just solve it. Dress nice, go to bank tell them you want to open a account and don't give up, ask for the manager if they tell you you can't. Then go to the next branch if it not works. In Thailand you get everything but here in the group the biggest problem is tm30 or 90 days report what is in reality zero important for a dtv holder. Same like doing visas for kids under 14 years old.

Use wise transfer stright through

My landlady prefers bank transfer. I have had problems with wise account taking 2 weeks to complete the transfer. I use truemoney account that I fill at then transfer to her account. I had to upload my thai

Drivers License to access this feature.

I transfer via wise to a friend with a Thai bank and they pay via QR code. Also I’ve done cash atm withdraws but transfer is less fees for me.

A lot have said it - look into a WISE account

Have they cut off the accounts of ALL DTV holders in Thailand?

I am here on 60 day exempt and my very old accounts are fine..

I use WISE to send money to a WISE account of a thai bankaccount holder. I think its the cheapest way right now for me. Only pay WISE fees.

You can transfer to a Thai bank from any country.

Or you can give them cash. Some landlords even take crypto payments.

Wise- never understood why people want a Thai bank account other than QR payment which seems like such a minor thing considering you can tap pretty much everywhere.

I paid cash at our condo but the villa we are in now only does bank transfer and we do international transfer. Our bank has a low fee 120 baht

What is wise? Is it like cash app or Venmo?

I just transfer from my wise account directly to the agent, very simple.

By cash.

Even if opening a thai bank account was possible, I would not be interested. I only have euro, I pay my rent and my daily Life with n26, and I take cash once a month from an ATM

Wise.

You can pay cash, make international transfers or use a service like Wise or Revolut to send money to Thai accounts.

In cash daaaaaaaaaa
