How can I update my Bangkok Bank passbook while being outside Thailand?
UPDATE : thank you so much for your help everybody ! I have found somebody who will kindly help me with that. ;-)
A request : I need to update my Bangkok Bank passbook, but I am outside Thailand at the moment. Would somebody trustworthy give me a hand ? I would send the passbook, you update it at an BKB ATM machine and send it back to me to Switzerland...

I'm not sure what the bankboom is for. It didn't contain all transactions, bangkok bank condenses several transactions to one... So it's no good evidence at immigration. Need to print 12 months account history! It takes several days....

Why don't u just ask someone who works at ur branch?

You really think a trustworthy person will respond and say "i'm trustworthy!" The only people who proudly state what they are, are usually lying about it.

even a buffalo wont bite bank book in mouth no matter what balance it has printed! Not enough pages for a buffalo or calf to bite- so doesn’t matter if any or all are not at all trustworthy!! 😂Dana *******
OP@Mark *******
Yes, there are trustworthy people out there ! 😉Mark ********
@Dana ******
Yes but not to trust with your bank card right after you discover them. Trying to save you a lot of trouble here.Dana *******
OP@Mark *******
No bank card is needed to update a passbook... 😉 Thank you for your concern, anyway...

I could do that for you. I’m in Hua Hin. Letters from Switzerland arrive reliably and recently take around 10-15 days with normal Swiss Post. You can send me a PM if you‘d like.

May be a dumb question, but why do you need your bank book updated outside thailand?
Wilhelmina ********
You need to sign some papers for the e-banking, that is all.

For administrative purpose : I need to prove how much money I have...Garrett ***********
@Dana ******
You can print off your bank statement from the internet or the banking app. Bank book is only required for extensions in country.Garrett ***********

Maybe in 1980, not in this century though.

@Garrett **********
not necessarily. Unless they changed the rules. It took me about 3 years to get access to the appGarrett ***********
@Dana ******
You don't need a work permit for e-banking. Everyone with an account gets access to internet banking.Dana *******
OP@Garrett **********
Unfortunately, I have neither e-banking (no work permit), nor activated apps... ;-)Giuseppe **********
Dont do that, why you do need to update, trough someone stranger , if you don't have special reason? If they loose your passbook, you know that you will have difficolt to deal with bank? Just an advice, by the way.
