I opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank using an agent just over 12 months ago whilst on holiday … Ive deposited money into my account just recently from my home country ( England) . I’ve checked my app and the money has gone in .

So the question is

Will a bank account except money if it is locked?

Or if it is excepting money it mustn’t be locked ?

I return to Thailand in October .. when I try to use my account whist being in Thailand , will it automatically lock ? Or I’m I going to be lucky ?

I am at 3 weeks that my Bangkok Bank account has been locked. I visited with a senior manager yesterday and I want to update you on what's going on if you're still waiting like me:

1. The staff that told me funds would be available in three to 5 business days misspoke. The bank manager brought them into the office and reprimanded them for providing that "wrong information".

2. There were dozens of files of people waiting for their funds to be unlocked many whom came to unlock their accounts ahead of me. There were so many, that the files were stacked on the floor in piles by the date the customer came into the bank.

3. The manager informed me that she and the rest of the staff are working 7 days a week in order to provide the necessary information to the head office in Bangkok for the accounts to be unlocked.

4. "If you want to withdraw your funds immediately you may do so but you will be locked out of opening a future account with Bangkok Bank and any other bank in Thailand." I have not confirmed if this is true or not.

5. High net worth customers were the first to have their accounts unlocked. Go figure.

6. She informed me that it is improbable that the unlocking of the account will take up to three more weeks or longer. Typically, she observes the accounts being unlocked from this day forward within 3 to 5 business days. I've heard that before.

7. Don't shoot the messenger.

Does anyone know when Bangkok Bank will be kind enough to open the account they locked?

They locked on 19. I was in the branch on 19 also. Said until friday or Monday. Now the call center said 2 weeks. Wtf

How I know when the account will be open??

Hi folks, I have a question about Bangkok Bank😅. I haven't received any communication either on the app or via email or text stating that my account is locked, but I'm unable to make transfers or top up my mobile service. Although I can still receive money into the account, I'm unsure if it's locked or temporary. Has anyone experienced this?

For the DTV-holders out there who are having their account locked, is there a deadline to withdraw money mentioned when the bank phoned you? I know the sooner you show up that the branch the better, but I'm half an Earth away and could be costly (if possible at all) to book a plane that depart in a few day. Can I be there mid-June and still have access to my fund?

Could someone ask the bank for me, please? I called them yesterday but the lady didn't speak good English and refused to share more over the phone any way. I'm told to be physically at the branch with my passbook and passport.
