Is the 7000 baht fee standard for opening bank accounts in Thailand, or specific to Bangkok Bank?

David *******

@Conny *********

I have Mastercards in 4 different countries, all require a small deposit to activate the mastercard account. In Thailand it is usually 500 baht, other places is roughly 5-10 usd (or equivalent) so I definitely think mastercard has a little to do with it.

Master card might need a 500 baht deposit to activate the account, but it goes in your account. I didn’t pay a single cent to open an account in Bangkok bank

Can I obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) while in Thailand with my home country motorcycle license?

David *******

Your drivers license is exclusive to your country, you can’t get an IDP anywhere in the world except the at country that gave you that specific license. It is also important to remember that while abroad using the IDP, you need to keep your original drivers license and your passport together. They are a package.

Is the 60-day visa exemption for Thailand starting on 1st September?

David *******

@Herve ********

also, it was clear that june 1 was impossible, it was probably a typo or something. That doesn’t change anything, once cabinet passes it, it will happen… I would agree maybe that it won’t happen to the letter or there will be ridiculous requirements for this visa.

I don’t think you understand how a government works, of course the cabinet is not the entire government, but they pass and abolish laws, majors, governors, they are the ones with little say on laws.
