Hi all. Today when I wanted to unblock my account at Bangkok bank I was surprised to be asked to go to the embassy of my country for I don't know what certificate. I tried to open another account at Kungskri bank but I was told that for a multiple-entry OA visa they cannot open an account for me. They suggested that I change my visa type. Have these banks become idiots? Have you had this kind of problem? Where is the easiest place to open an account based on an O-A visa?

Epilogue.

I opened my account at Kungskri Bank (a different branch than the one I went to the first time) this morning quickly and without any problems. After opening it, I told them that I wanted to transfer the money from my Bangkok Bank account but it was not possible directly, so I got a driver with the bank's car to take me to close the Bangkok Bank account and return safely with the money I had withdrawn to deposit at Kungskri. Everything went quickly except for the time spent at Bangkok Bank where it took a little longer. Thank you to everyone who recommended me to look for another bank or recommended Kungskri to me. Thank you also to the staff who restored my trust in the professional services that a bank must offer to its customers.

Hi guys, question for the DTVs I am leaving Monday for first entry to DMK got all my docs ready and cannot wait!!

Just wondered whats update with getting a bank account in thailand?? I heard so much about different ones freezing etc anyone have any ideas?

I'll be moving to hua hin area

Hello everyone. Can I open a bank account with a DTV visa?

What's up with BBL now?

I have been out of Thailand for over a year now but I have maintained my BBL account with a balance of

<฿100. I have not been able to use my Mobile banking account app for at least 15 months. There was an update to the app and whenever I attempted to use the app I was forced to install the update before using it. I was required to visit my Bangkok Bank to accomplish that. I was not willing to do so for my small balance.

Today, there was a new Play Store update of the app. AND LO AND BEHOLD I AM NOW ABLE TO FULLY USE THE APP AGAIN.

Bangkok Bank has actually made something easier!

Visa update from ed to DTV in KTB.

Has anyone changed to new phone and need to go to bank (Krungthai bank ) to update the visa status from ed to dtv ? I'm afraid that can cause a failure to continue used of the bank acc bcos of dtv visa changed.

Has anyone had issues transferring Thai Banking apps to a new phone. 3 days in 2 banks Bangkok and Krungsri one sorted Bangkok albeit for some reason i can’t log into my account. It’s saying wrong user name and password. Krungsri no luck, face recognition wouldn’t work, manager said head office will call me in 3 days, still waiting for the call.

My U.K. bank app sorted in minutes with online security checks being carried out up and running now.
