@Lynnette ******
we are not talking about that.

We are talking about a Bank in Thailand that forces you to go to the branch in a city where you don't live anymore just only to verify yourself. I was in two other branches and presented my passport and everything needed but they cannot do anything. Now I have to pay for the journey to that city and waste my valuable time for only getting verified within some minutes and then come back to where I am now.

@David ******
and the honest ones like me who just use Thai bank account for daily needs get punished because some customers are abusive.

@Jennifer *****
that is it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

We all know this will work.

But the question was , is there any way to avoid to go there and so to save money and valuable time?

@Michael ******
yes but the money on the old account must be released and it's only possible when you go to that branch where your account was done.

@Jesper ******
this is only for changing device. For changing the Sim card and new number you have to go to your branch.
