What are the common experiences and solutions regarding frozen bank accounts at Bangkok Bank's Central Pattaya branch for expats?

So basically foreigners who have their acct frozen have one similarly.....pattaya branch....

alot of foreigners acct was not affected when they opened elsewhere

We finally were able to get to the Central Pattaya branch on Monday. We moved to Chiang Mai last month so had to make a special trip to try and sort things out. Still told us we’d need to wait 2-3 weeks to access funds. But the woman who took my paperwork actually gave me her WhatsApp line for whatever it’s worth. At least I have a contact person to check in with (I’ll have to see if she actually responds if I write to her). Seems ridiculous that in this technological age it would take as long as it’s been taking to verify accounts and unfreeze them. I know TIT, right? 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

The teller phoned me at my home chiang mai told me my account was unlock today

My BB bank was frozen for o my a week I just went and had my us passport certification copy at us embassy for 50.oo dollars, went to bank they released the acct same day, I think it's different for many people , crazy lost trust in Thai banking

I just went to kasikorn and opened another account as I had just been frozen 2 months earlier so did not want to go through all the crap,, was told to copy passport which I did then told take every page including blank pages,, enough is a enough Bangkok bank

Your journey is practically identical to mine

. Different branch of BB however.

I went through the same process on 28th August, and was told within a week it would be Un-frozen after BB head office had seen all the photocopied proof and read my form.

20 days later and still frozen. I went back to my branch this morning and saw the same employee as before. I was basically told to wait another week (maybe two) because their head office worked slowly and there were a lot to process!

Mine is still frozen. 31 days and counting. It’s a 5 hour drive each way to Pattaya but I have the total visa amount in the bank there. I just opened a Kasikorn bank account here, so I am planning a road trip after this big storm that’s headed our way. I hope they will let me pull the money and close the account. Thank goodness I don’t need the money to survive like some I read about.

Mine was finally released after the 22nd working day… they eventually wanted a one year lease instead of a six month lease, even though mine was a renewal from a one year lease… when I finally gave them that yesterday they released my account in one hour at the original bank that I started it at…

He talks all about it and gives you a number to supposedly the banks are suppose to sort it out in less than 24 hrs.

Are you local to Pattaya ?

I suggest you go and follow it up closely .
