With the challenges at B of B I decided to open a new account elsewhere. As much as I support battling fraud I don’t believe the bank’s approach is of sound mind or ….. I walked into Krungthai with my lease, passport and tm. 30 minutes later I have a new bank card and an account. What was even nicer was when I transferred funds from wise they arrived in 10 seconds. The other bank was anywhere from a day to days. Nothing is perfect in life and I have to deal with the 50k per day maximum tranfer until this updates. The bank was at a loss for why B of B is operating this way. My account is still locked and once I get to the bank in a few weeks I will happily close this and never use them again.

I have Bangkok bank account and today i tried to use the account but I couldn't. It's not about the SIM card because my sim card registered with my account. But after I couldn't used the account I called the call center and they inform me the account locked and I should go the my branch. It's crazy! Just locked the account without any notice

Something going down with bank accounts today. Seen several posts across the visa groups. Not sure if it’s a particular bank specific thing or what. The posts mention about the banks closing accounts of people not on long term visas.

If anyone has information as to what’s going on then please share.

Just found this message logging into my krungsri account with browser. Anyone an idea what this means or reason Krungsri stops online banking service registration now as not opening any bank accounts to farangs like the other bank branches in Thailand?

Scammer alert! I approached this dude in this group and he told me he can help me with applying for the DTV, but now he isn't responding to my messages despite receiving money from me. His personal account name is Min Bo Aung and he seems to have an office located in Bangkok. The amount of money scammed is insignificant, but I just want to warn others.

I applied for my dtv 2 days ago in Germany, Frankfurt and today I saw they not only charged me the regular price for the visa but also 45,99€ extra costs for whatever. Additionally there are another 45,99€ reserved payments in my bank account. Anyone know what that’s for? I tried calling them but no one answers the phone though I called during office hours.

Hello, When you provide bank statements for proof of funds could you black out the bank account number or at least part of it?

Hi all,i need some advice

# เฉลิมเดช ประพิณไพโรจน He has only 7 followers so he is a scam “Beware”

Be careful everyone. I almost got scammed by someone who hacked into my relative's account and referred me to an agent who asked me for my name, address, SSN photo, and driver's license. You almost can't trust your relatives on here because they could be someone totally different.
