Hi. I'm currently in the UK but I have a Thai bank account which I opened on a previous trip. Hopefully within the next 6 months I'm looking to return to Thailand on visa exempt basis, do all the necessary paperwork to get married and then apply for a marriage visa in Thailand. What I'm trying to figure out is a back up plan if I run into any difficulties with the bank account. Mainly because I'm conscious that this time I would only have the visa exempt stamp in my passport. If the account is open and active (which I believe it is) then there shouldn't be a problem, I guess. But if there was, what are my options as I would not have an address to return to the UK at that point. Is it possible to travel to say Laos or Vietnam and obtain a non O visa to re-enter Thailand from there, and then use that non O to open a new bank account in Thailand? If this is an option, then what bank evidence could I use in Laos/Vietnam - as I guess I would only have my UK bank account. Would this work? Probably overthinking all of this but I have learnt in Thailand to always look at the 'what ifs'. Many thanks

Has anyone had any trouble with their Thai bank account locking them out of their account or freezing their account? The reason why I ask is I might need to do a big money transfer from China/Canada.
