This happened to us too. We are in india. We went to the bank before leaving and told there would be no issue. We can't phone the bank none of the numbers connect. Thank God we have money in our account in new zealand. But this is madness we have a house and everything in this country. They say they want more tourist well they need to stop making it so bloody hard for people. We even ad to pay $1000 for sme life insurance to get the account then they lock you out. So frustrating makes us other want to go back. Sell up and move to another country that wants us to send or money not freeze us out.

yes love it. We are located in krabi. Its alot quieter here less tourists here. Have a look at krabi beautiful part of Thailand. Heaps of construction and growth going on to.

I am from new zealand. Moved to Thailand last year just my partner and I. We are not married. If you are wanting to go under your partners visa you need to be married.

For us to marry we have to make an appointment in Bangkok at the embassy to apply to marry. It is alot of effort and money to travel up there a d stay just to get the licence as we live south Thailand. So my suggestion if it's just paperwork do it on Australia before you come. One more headache you don't have to worry about when you get here.
