Money doesn't talk; it swears

I opened an account with SCB about 12 years ago. At the time I was on a B visa, but had no work permit. The lady I spoke to in the bank told me that without a WP I could not open the account. So, I said to her that I wanted to transfer in XX thousand baht every month and if SCB would not give me an account I would walk down to Bangkok Bank and open one there.

She then asked me EVERY month? I said yes and she then went and spoke to her superior. I could see them looking at my passport and looking over in my direction. After a few minutes she came over as if nothing had happened and opened the account for me.

Thanks, yes, I'm using monthly transfers from UK

Thanks for that

@Tod ********

Thanks a lot - doesn't give a lot of room for error.

Is there a specific type of bank statement I should ask for? I'm with SCB and have had problems in the past with this. My account is used a LOT. I use the income from abroad and have 2 pensions one paid monthly and the other every 4 weks.

Dr Donna Robinson at Medconsult, Sukhumvit will do for you. Call 02 018 7855 in advance for appointment

I got first dose AZ on Tuesday and I had to show passport on 2 occasions before getting vaccinated

This was in Chaeng Wattana?

I'm due to do mine in a month or so

@Gregory ********

I got mine same day in Thong Lo, but did it 9 years ago

Great reply

@Tod ********

, thank you very much. TBH I do not know if he's on a visa or extension, but as he's been employed by the same school for a long tine it's a fair bet it is an ext.

I will copy your reply and send on to him.
