Hello everyone,

I have recently moved to a new condo, still in Bangkok but different area. I will need to have my address changed for my bank account at SCB. I forgot what document they needed when I opened the account a few years ago. Can I just give them my new address at any branch or do I need a copy of my lease or anything else?

Thank you very much

I have sent my SCB bank statements, and now they are asking for a copy of the visa I held when I opened the bank account. It was 15 years ago... Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Like many people my Bangkok Bank was frozen and after 2 weeks it was working again.

I decided it would be prudent to open another account so I went to Kasikorn and opened an account very easily.

I thought I’ll just open 1 more for luck, so went to SCB, the lovely gentleman started the application and then advised I already had a bank account open with them! 23 years ago one hungover morning I opened a bank account whilst in Pattaya with my friend and his Thai girlfriend, deposited some money and carried on with my holiday. Got back to the UK, lost the book and didn’t come back to Thailand for another 13 years. I couldn’t remember the bank name so wrote it off as a loss.

Today he re activated my account and I had 27,000 in it 😂😂

I opened my SCB bank account today but unlike Kasikorn bank , SCB has not given me. Bank passbook. They said all my banking has to be done by my passport. Is this a normal policy with SCB ? Maybe an account thing ? It's a savings account with them. Thanks

Two days to go before entering Thailand on my non o visa. DTAC all done. Hua Hin where I own my house. Are Kasikorn bank and scb bank still the first two banks to try first ?

What is the best bank to use in Thailand as an expat from USA transferring funds from USA banks? Thank you

Has anyone use SCB for the 65k deposit monthly.....does the statement shows it's a foreign transfer when using Wise (option for long term stay) ? TIA

Hi all. A question for people on Thai Marriage Visas.

When putting in our yearly extension of stay, there seems to be a paradox between my SCB account and Immigration. Immigration wants to see a transaction on my savings account showing the same day as the Immi appointment, but the SCB doesn't show transactions on statement printouts for 24hrs, making it impossible to show a transaction the same day as the Immi appointment.

We have had this same issue for some years now, just wondering if anyone knows the best way to get the application right without having to leave and come back the following day?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

So.. Last year, when I tried to pay for my medical insurance, I got an error message in the bank app, saying i need to visit the bank.

I went to the local Krungthai and was told that new banking regulations forbid foreigners transfering more than 50,000 per transfer...

My daily transfer limit was 1,500,000 per day, so just did 2 transfers and haven't really thought about it since...

A few days ago, i mentioned this to an accountant and she spoke to me with disbelief, as tho I'm an idiot, because nobody else has ever heard of this... Saying I just need to go in and change the limit...

I went to the local Krungthai branch and was told that thai banking regulations forbid foreigners, transfering more than 50,000 per transfer and if I need to transfer more, i need to do more than one transfer, or withdraw the cash and transfer by hand.... So if i need to transfer 800,000, I can do 16 transfers or withdraw the cash...

I went to the provincial branch and they said pretty much the same... Thai Banking regulations forbid foreigners transfering more than 50,000 in the app... ( "in the app" is a significant change.) If I need to transfer more, I can do in the bank... Slightly different story, but better than the local branch.

I went to the provincial branch of Bangkok Bank, asked to change the transfer limit and it was done, instantly, no question asked...

Has anyone else experienced this nonsense, and which banks do or don't allow transfers of more than 50,000 baht?
