What issues are expats facing with Thai banks regarding account freezes and visa types?

The discussion revolves around the account opening and transaction policies of various Thai banks, with a particular focus on issues with frozen accounts and customer experiences. Many users shared that all Thai banks, not just Bangkok Bank, have become more stringent with their KYC requirements and have been limiting transactions, especially for accounts opened under tourist or DTV visas. Some mentioned reporting account freezing with SCB, while others highlighted the stricter practices that have emerged recently, making it difficult for expats to open accounts without the proper visa or documentation. Overall, there seems to be a trend of tightening regulations across all banks, prompted by concerns over illegal account openings.
