No new account as yet. I got the same answer from Kasikorn when I asked if I could open an account. The asked me what visa I had. When I said DTV, they just said "nope". I'll see about an LTR whan I'm in the states. I qualifyand the paperwork is only a little more than the DTV that I got a year ago.

, I thought I was safe because I had no issues over the year. I made regular transfers from my US account and made lots of small PromptPay payments to local food vendors and shops. Not exactly money laundering for a criminal enterprise. Nope. I am glad I was here when it happened.

@Col****

, they paid me the full account balance in cash.

@Co***

, a little over a year old.

I can confirm that Bangkok Bank told me that my account needed to be closed because my DTV was insufficient. Frozen on Friday. Closed on Monday. They advised me to come back when I had an OA visa. Pattaya branch.

@Gil***

, I think I paid about 8,000 bht.

, August of this year.

I was a simple 30 day tourist. But, I had more than 30 left on my visa stamp though. I used Elite Visa in Phratumnak.

I used an agent in Pattaya to open an account at Bangkok Bank. I needed a passport, my Airbnb rental agreement (one month rental), and a copy of my us drivers license. I gave the agent a copy of my documents on a Monday. The agent set up an appointment for me at the bank the next morning. Someone from the agency accompanied me to the appointment the next morning and facilitated.

I recently used German Dentist in Jomtien. I was very impressed with the office and standard of care.
