TLDR : Answer Summary

A recent online discussion revolves around the quick unlocking of frozen bank accounts in Thailand. Many comments indicate that the situation primarily concerns Thai bank accounts and does not favor foreigners. Users express concerns about increased scrutiny by banks towards foreign accounts, and some are facing difficulties due to account freezes affecting their funds. The sentiment among expats indicates frustration with the banking system's handling of these issues.

And, this decision will also increase pressure to Foreigners because banks become more strict in regulations, because they have less rights and more responsibility each time 😉

As previously mentioned, this literally has nothing to do with you or any of the other foreigners whose bank accounts are frozen. This is about THAI accounts.

You can see they clearly said this is only for people whose accounts are frozen based on suspected illegal activity which is not what Bangkok Bank is doing.
