Greg ********

I think it depends which Land Transport Office you go to. I saw a post where a DTV holder was told 2 years only at one office but got the 5 years elsewhere

Is the 7000 baht fee for opening a bank account in Thailand applicable to all banks or just Bangkok Bank?

Greg ********

@Elías *******

Bangkok Bank and others used to try and sell insurance for around 5k but it has gone up recently. Their staff would strongly imply that no insurance, no account. They get a commission for the sales. However, using an agent would negate that as they get more commission from the agent than the insurance :-)
