Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locked me out concurrently. Today, I wanted to pay by QR using the Bangkok bank app, I got the notorious locked app warning message indicating name on my SIM is not matching the name on the bank account which is a huge bogus as I use this AIS number for more than 2 years and opened it myself with my passport and all info is genuine. I noticed my AIS app also kept closing when I clicked on it, apparently they also locked me out for some reason but my wireless service was uninterrupted. Bangkok Bank demanded a letter from the AIS shop to unlock the app. AIS shop said they just wanted to take my new photo and see my passport again, I quickly solved the AIS issue. But why do I have to go through this. It seems either it is so lax in Thailand that agents can get phone numbers to scammers under false IDs or every single foreigner must line up with their passports at wireless and bank counters to have their photo taken and passports validated. Always extremes.. land of .miles long queus

Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

USA passport on DTV visa. Account in Chiang Mai. 5 June 2025.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.

I heard Bangkok bank is freezing foreign accounts . Is there any problem to us who are holding Retirement Visa?

Is this legit?

# Does binance.th support KYC for DTV Visa Holders?

Anyone from India here who working as Digital nomad

I am already holding NRE account.

Bank is asking for RE kyc.

Has anyone opened NRE account or done KYC while working outside India as Digital nomad .? 🙏🙏🙏

Dont know if anyone elsehas encountered this problem. I recently tried to send my wife a small amount of money using WISE. After three days I got an email saying my account had been closed due to fraudulant activity, which is absolute nonnsense. I have spent several hours on the phone submitted a claim with them and they still have my money. I cannot seem to talk with anyone with any authority. Anybody else have this experience and any idea on how to get my money back. Disgusted by this.
