Hi guys. My Kasikorn App has become disabled. I cannot get thru to a human being despite 8 calls from UK today. I can't find the Kbank Internet website to do Internet banking. Any help would be great. Thank you

Just updated my Bangkok bank app and logged in and my account number is missing. It shows that I’ve got no accounts. No other notifications.

Have you seen anything similar?

KBank sent there new T&C through some 30 pages, however, asked a AI chat to find a summary, part of which was interesting.

Banks and financial institutions are required to report to the Revenue Department if a customer’s accounts have 3,000 or more deposit/transfer transactions in a year, or 400 or more transactions totaling 2 million baht or more, to ensure tax compliance.

Large cash transactions (e.g., 2 million baht or more) must be reported to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO).

Went to Bangkok Bank, Koh Chang, this afternoon. Tried withdrawal but ATM said no. Went in Bank and they said account frozen . Had to go back with 5 year DTV visa, passport and the two year lease agreement we just signed on a house. Luckily they were happy with this and un-froze account.

For those wishing to open bank accounts on a tourist visa the process may be scrutinised a little more and become more challenging.

I received a request today for the following documents from the Thai embassy in Hanoi after applying on Friday (quick turnaround):

1.) Photo of my entry stamp - no issue there

2.) "Updated bank statement till the present."

The issue is #2, no bank I'm aware of provides mid-month or partial month statements up until a random day of the month. The most recent statement I'm able to download from by bank ends on February 28th. For context, I already provided 6 months of bank statement upfront going from January and back.

How am I supposed to provide a "bank statement until the present" when there's obviously no statement available going all the way to March 3rd?
