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.
All good information Dwight, much appreciated. Did you have a medical too ???

I wanted both a savings account and current account but they said only savings, for now. When does that change?

Wow! 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 🤪
dont know i closed my current account in phuket which i had for nearly 30yrs and they would only let me open savings account long term customers mean nothing

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
