Skin colour IS discrimination. Being unable to open a bank account is national policy. But heyho carry on whining

@Kirill *********

Long-term residents are not affected. It's only tourists

@Kirill *********

Tourists cannot open bank accounts in many countries of the world. Why don't you make a complaint to the Court Of Human Rights in The Hague. I'm sure that'll be your next comment. Being unable to open a bank account as a tourist is NOT discrimination. If you're so sensitive about it, just get a real long-term visa and problem solved. Easier than changing the colour of your skin isn't it?

@Chris ***

My thoughts entirely. I'm so over Generation Entitled, who know NOTHING about REAL discrimination

@Sitg ********

He's right

Discrimination? FFS, what is it with this Generation Entitled that every time something doesn't go their way, out comes the discrimination card? You're not a long-term resident, you're not entitled to a bank account. If you want a bank account get a non-immigrant visa. Simple huh?

Anonymous participant 455 You're lucky. I got the DTV for cooking classes. Last time I entered I had to cook an entire banquet for the whole of the immigration staff on duty before they'd stamp me in!

I just did a 70k transfer from Australia to Bangkok Bank last week. Took just under 24 hours. I've never had a problem

@Benjamin ********

I'll say it - never! There are already two ten-year options - more than sufficient for the Thai government

@David ******

There won't be a ten year "tourist" visa! There are ten year options already
