Bank account opened on medical grounds, while on medical DTV. Poke the bear or not.
Ive had a Bangkok Bank account for about a year now. Getting a bit anxious with all the issues now.
While I am on DTV, my account was opened based on “paying medical treatment with treatment above 3 months” It was internal clause a thai friend found for me. And account opened at first branch i tried. 1 year ago. I am under ongoing long term treatment.
I am tempted to go to my Branch with my new condo lease, AIS verification, treatment plan from hospital, Thai Driver License, Passport with visa and stamps.
BUT am I better NOT poking the bear while things are working? So far no issues, recently bought a new car for 1m, about to make another large expense.
Thing is I will leave Thailand for about 6 weeks soon, and I have around 1m in emergency funds on this account. I keep slowly taking out cash just in case. And I do have other backups payment methods and funds.
Poke the bear or leave it sleeping?
Edit: Thanks all. Definitely letting the beat sleep
