I pay 850 bht with Kbank and it includes medical and accident insurance

The limits on these bank accident/medical insurance are so low it's meaningless. KBank will give you 5,000B max per accident and if you are hospitalised they will pay 300B per day, up to 30 days. It's nothing.

OPI wanted both a savings account and current account but they said only savings, for now. When does that change?
Chris *****
OPWow! That’s madness. I’ll never want a credit card but just something to separate my monthly daily spend and bills, then savings. Looks like it’ll have to be with another back for savings. Illogical 🤪

I lost mine, 100 baht to replace as long as I knew the pin. If not then I believe it was 400, hard on ppl with alzheimer's

THEM: “Oh, our ATM ate your card? That will be 200B please.”
ME: This just happened like 10 minutes ago. Why don’t you just open the ATM and retrieve it?
THEM: Blank stare.
