its just a timing thing. We are in the middle of building our business/houses, and i need that money for construction. I would normally just transfer it over from the US but the exchange rates are absolute garbage right now. i usually keep the 400k in my account year round, and on this occasion it will be replenished as soon as the rates come back up.
haha yes the facial rec thing is terrible, and i always look like a goober in public when i try to do it. the other reason i want to switch is the closest bangkok bank location is like 45 minutes from me, i have a krungthai bank like 2 minutes from my house.
in the last week ive seen 3 posts about it. Not fear mongering. People posting their experiences when they either go to immigration or the bank. Im simply just trying to find out validity.
