Any idea if this will impact inbound transfers?

Kplus — Can no longer transfer more than 50k thb per “day” anymore, all I ever used the account was for getting money from Europe, twice a month for many years on average with out issue to pay the wife and bills. This is despite me using a correct simcard and already did facial scan at the bank a while back. Probably gonna take a few days to move funds out gonna switch banks. This is utterly ridiculous. Been with them for 4 years with no issues. Luckily, I have four other Thai banks with no such limits. Only been using K plus because they are usually the fastest for international transfers might keep using them. Hopefully inbound won’t be impacted. I don’t think so, but won’t be using them for storing money or paying bills.

In regards to the transaction limit on a KBank bank savings account. I've just spoken the KBank they confirm the single transaction limit is 50kthb with the total daily limit also 50kthb. He said there is a project at the bank to apply face recognition to the account at which time they will allow higher amounts.

Also if you have a debit card on your account you can make purchases up to 500kthb depending on your credit with the bank, so can make purchases at shops and the like. This seems high to me but I asked him twice. Cash from a ATM is 30kthb a limit of the cash machine. He also said you could make transfers on the card up to 1m. Really?

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).

What KIND/TYPE of statement do I need to request from KBank to show proof of seasoned funds from a foreign source?

For those that don't have a Thai bank account and want to use the QR code for payments, you can now use tagthai that uses KBANK. For info go to

just asking, maybe out of context, i am foreigner, and i got Kbank already, i just seen when i scan buy something appear kbank paylater? is it applicable for immigrant foreigner who working in thailand?

I need to open a thai bank account so a local can pay me. Having trouble doing it via Wise for example so I would like to open a bangkok bank or kbank account. Open to any thai bank. I have a signed year lease for a property and can get the resident certificate if needed from either my embassy or from thai immigration

Bank account opening - hi, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced agent to help me open a thai bank account in Bangkok? I've tried several banks without luck in my own. TIA

Dear all,

Is it possible to open a Thai bank account with an ED visa? What is the easiest bank to do so?

Thank you 🙏🏻
