Why did Bangkok Bank freeze my account, and what requirements do they have for expats?
Cris ******
I think every branch is different. Also if you push back on certain things it seems they will bypass them as well.

Be careful with visiting cambodia. If shits kicks off again they usually close the borders and you'll have to fly back. Possibly.

What is the experience of opening an account at Krungthai Bank for expats?
Cris ******
I love krungthai. I have a business account with them. But when I went and tried to open a personal account they needed a yellow book and pink ID card. Which are not easy to get and take time. I laughed because... that makes no sense. But oh well. Im in the same boat my village only has 2 banks really. And I dont want GSB.

Ah, ya well it sounds like your accounts are linked, then when they were flagged for whatever reason, it gets sent up to the head office, to where its closed. Is my guess. But ive also heard that branches have the power to freeze and unfreeze accounts as well.
