ORIGINAL POSTERI was bit surprised today. I went to my Bangkok Bank branch to request a letter confirming my twelve monthly transfers of 65k Baht, required by immigration for the renewal of my extension. I was expecting to pay around 200 Baht for this. In the event I was charged 700. Baht. Is this about average for the service.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user expressed surprise at being charged 700 Baht for a confirmation letter from Bangkok Bank, which is needed for renewing their visa extension. Other commenters shared their experiences, revealing that fees can vary significantly by bank and branch, ranging from as low as 100 Baht to around 400 Baht. Some commented on potential overcharging and experiences with other banks, leading to discussions on the perceived unfairness in pricing for expatriates.

Krungsri bank in Korat charged me 400baht with letter and could only provide a statement for the last six months. Maybe because my account was in Pattaya.

almost certainly the case. I think you have to go to your own branch to get the full twelve months.Reply to

ORIGINAL POSTERWent to pick up my letter today and received a 200 Baht refund. Apparently I was over charged, should have been 500 Baht, not 700.
