Hello,

Could someone explain to me how it works to open an account and make a deposit of 400,000 bath before applying for à marriage visa?

I read all kinds of answers but not very clear to me. Please, could you explain the procedure?

Thanks a lot.

Is Chase Bank Bangkok considered a

“Thai” bank for showing proof of funds deposited for retirement visa?

Ok. We are married with a child on the way. We have jumped through all the hoops and wasted many hours at different banks trying to open a god damned bank account so I can apply for a non immigrant O visa and still they won’t let us open an account Who do I have to blow to be able to open a account?!?

Ok I'm arriving on the 6th. Planning on using an agent to get a bank account. Now I set up wise account and linked to my chase bank. I'm a US citizen. So will it be simple to transfer $30k usd to my thai account with wise? Will I run into troubles. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi. My friend has a few $100 notes but the Thai exchange places he's tried won't accept them because they are a bit dirty with some writing on them. Does anybody know somewhere that might accept notes like this? He's in Bangkok.

I have a Thai bank account at Government Savings Bank. The services available at this bank are only for Thai citizens from what I understand.

I live in Ratchaburi.

I need a bank that gives me scan to pay. Any ideas?

Anecdotal and maybe evidence of paranoia but maybe interesting... Out in rural Thailand and needed money. Found a Lotus with 3 external ATMs. Different banks. I was in a hurry and left my phone in my car. At first there was nobody around. First atm had an out of order sign. I choose the next which was SCB. While I was using it a woman went to the third. I went through the entire transaction up to the "get your cash" step - machine made noises but no cash dispensed. The same thing happened to the woman at the next machine. I went back to my car to get my camera to get pics of the ATM number and in the 20 seconds that took a while crowd of people had appeared around the machine. I was upset and in a hurry so didn't think about it until later.

Maybe some kind of scam where they jam the door and then do a transaction and pull out your money too? Or just weird coincidence?

By the time I looked at my bank the charge was already reversed.

Has anybody recently been able to open a bank account on a tourist visa? I have tried a few and they have all said new rules make it impossible without a Non O Visa but you can't get a Non O Visa from within Thailand without money in a Thai bank account!

When transferring money in large amounts from the EU or US to Southeast Asia, which method do you choose as the fastest ?

Iv been told the Thai banks offer hospital insurance say 500k and more and pay more is this true please
