That’s the way I found out. Well, that and a message at the top of the bank app when I opened it. Yes, you’ll need to visit the branch you opened the account. We just did this 2 weeks ago and still frozen. They said 2-3 weeks 🥴

What I want to know is how will I know when my account is unfrozen? I’ve heard the bank will send an email but I’m certainly not holding my breath for that.

Is your home branch the one in Pattaya? We’re in Pattaya this week but live in CM now. Had to make the trip down here just to deal with this mess.

We finally were able to get to the Central Pattaya branch on Monday. We moved to Chiang Mai last month so had to make a special trip to try and sort things out. Still told us we’d need to wait 2-3 weeks to access funds. But the woman who took my paperwork actually gave me her WhatsApp line for whatever it’s worth. At least I have a contact person to check in with (I’ll have to see if she actually responds if I write to her). Seems ridiculous that in this technological age it would take as long as it’s been taking to verify accounts and unfreeze them. I know TIT, right? 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

What are the documents people are needing to bring in? Obviously passport with current visa stamp and bank book but what else? I’d already gone to the bank in July to sign some papers but all they looked at was my passport and took copies of it.

My husband and I just recently moved to Chiang Mai but our bank branch is in Pattaya. So we’re planning a trip there next week to deal with all of this. Just trying to figure out ahead of time what documents we should bring.

I second this recommendation 👍

My husband and I used

in Pattaya to get our visas, bank account, and drivers licenses. Extremely easy and friendly people to work with.

We attempted a couple times to ask our landlord to file the TM30. She didn’t. It was about a month after we moved in that we ended up filing it. We did use our visa agent to do it because we didn’t want to take the risk of getting fined trying to do it ourselves, which seems very likely we would have had to pay.

I can sympathize. Both my knees are in need of replacement but I’m going to see if PRP treatment can help in the meantime until I can get the surgery. We moved to Pattaya recently and will be seeing an orthopedist next week to get an assessment. I hope you find a solution for your gf.

I have pretty advanced osteoarthritis and I so wish CBD helped but it doesn’t. I was in the cannabis industry in the US for many years and tried many different products but unfortunately none worked to help my knee pain. But it’s great for so many other pain, especially when paired with THC.

@Peter *********

When it says 2 side does that mean cost for both knees? Or just one?
