we are with Bangkok, purely because our lawyer uses them for business accounts and we hit them on the day with opening personal accounts as well. We’d approached Kassikorn who insisted that we get a form from the Australian embassy…who doesn’t offer this service. Kassikorn bank didn’t care, they wanted that piece of paper.
