@Nigel *************

@Dave *********

sounds like a personal dispute carried over to social media.

Get together behind the barn like real neandrithal

@Nigel *************

Now all is clear !

Someone nailed you for your attitude.

You retaliate with ' farang bashing '

How juvenile !

@Nigel *************

well, describe active.

I live in Thailand, have for 2 decades, and have been to most provinces.

I guess ' not enough ' as still never noticed, nor heard of any farang bashing .

You being a tourist and all might explain it.

@Alex *********

@David ******

@William *******

I have over the years had friends visit and accompanied them to my bank ( who know me ) and they opened accounts with min bal and 200 baht for ATM card with no problem..its been a few years since last, so maybe things changed

12 consecutive months

No, do not need to substantiated present balance. 12 months of 65k ( FTT ) with bank copies, signed is all.

There is provision for a lesser amount if Savings balance is maintained at level where mo. deposits and svg's total 800k, just haven't seen it used.

Always insure your monthly is sufficient to cover exch rate variance.

@David ******

have been here since before Tsunami..1 trip.back for Obama Innaug for a week. That was it. Am in Asia for good. What Province are you in . Hard ito believe the delays, know many that went smoothly .

Disagree , not discrimination. Simply beaurocracies, and the immigrant policies of the time .

If I were you, would stick without the process, wire your Congressman and make a stink on social medis. He can intercede in a week. It's election year.

Maybe your discouraged with process ,but better to have and not use, than need, and not have
