Is your Thai SIM card the same as the one linked to your bank account? They're blocking access to mobile banking now if it's not.

in Bali did you do visa runs every 2 months? Just curious bc if their immigration doesnt give you a hassle i feel like id be interested in checking it out. This thailand visa situation sounds like a pain and I dont want to have all my belongings in bangkok and cant get to them.

yea .. as sad as it is .. the thailand visa situation is no good anymore .. ive spent about 10 years living here in the last 25 years.. never had issues until now, even tho they are bigger visas its all about access to money to live.. and now it's all changed again... im Australian , so the exchange rate is horrible and won't ever come back.. so its not like I'm crying about it ..but its just not worth being here anymore .. Bali has a 1 year multi entry tourist visa that you can get a rental with.. and its really easy and cheap to fly to do a border run there.. might get my money off the bank and head there and see if things get better ... il research Vietnam in the meantime..

i would agree, yes… but stupid people cant be helped. why stupid? because bank account questions are posted in this group every single day, multiple times, for almost a year. you would expect people to use the search function first or use their brain… just scroll the group 3mins and you will see multiple posts about the same topic… sometimes you ask yourself how these people survive in life…
