Will my Bangkok Bank account remain accessible and accept deposits while it is locked?

@Lee **********

not sure about that. I have friends not on long term visa. Ac locked for a couple of weeks then un locked with no loss of bank privileges or access.

@Robert *************

what is the requested documents they want to see

@Pete ******************

they do not know what they are doing. they did not even know they had locked my account I'm talking about customer service representatives on the phone. It is pure chaos at that bank now if you are a foreigner

@Jesper ******

that's not accurate. I am able to open the app and check my balances while it is frozen.

@Jesper ******

yes its locked I can check my balance but cannot use card to getting cash or transfer money or scan to pay for things I know because it is happening

@Jesper ******

in my case, in june. I could still access to my account, But no pay out at all. No transfer no QR code no withdraw. Simple, it is my money but I cant use it at all. So it is not my money.

@Jesper ******

you're still able to access the app when the account is locked.

@AK ******

not "most". Mine has never been locked in 20 + years. Bangkok Bank, Pattaya.

@AK ******

I don't think it's "most" at all. The general pattern seems to be

✅ Opened since 2023

✅ Opened on a tourist visa

✅ Opened in Pattaya or Jomtien

✅ Opened with "help" from an agent

✅ Unusual activity on 800k lump sum

✅ Account holder's address is very far from branch where account is held

✅ Unusually high deposits/withdrawals on a regular basis

I'm not saying this is a comprehensive red-flag list, but it appears these are the warnings. I know about a dozen Bangkok Bank account holders, myself included who are totally unaffected. A figure someone quoted (and there's no reliable source, except a local manager) is BB has over 50,000 foreign customers in Thailand, and about 10,000 accounts have been affected

@AK ******

the branch where you opened the account

@AK ******

I live in Norway and has no issues with my two accounts in Bangkok Bank. Same as Krungthai.

@Brandon ***********

I helped Bangkok Bank figure out that they had locked my account by getting the code they had to issued wise as a reason for refusing my monthly transfer. once I told them that Wise was given a R02 code when my monthly deposit was refused, the Bangkok Bank phone representative told me to come to the original branch with passport, Visa, and bank book.

@Brandon ***********

he's asking can he still deposit I think mine is blocked with money in cant do anything 😊
