What are the requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand with an AO visa and how to obtain a guarantee letter from the UK embassy?
Tom ********
I had issues this week with my Kasikorn Bank application I closed an account and opened a new one close to me. The application would not load properly, it took 2 days and 5 hours eventually their IT in Bangkok told me to delete essential Android operating files, I did not and went to a different branch. Problem fixed in 5 minutes.

What are the pros and cons of using a visa agency versus going directly to the immigration office in Thailand?
Tom ********
@Brandon ***********
 I do agree Jomtien/Chonburi does have stricter rules, but the Immigration process and the helpfulness of the staff at Jomtien is not bad, then again I have not dealt with another office either

@Brian *******
 I certainly don't own weapons here, what kind of fool do you think I am. But as a law abiding citizen of the USA, I excercise all my rights back in the USA, still enjoy hunting and keeping the neighbors at bay

 I will have to agree that a saw offed or shortened shotgun is more deadly than a machine gun at close range, but with regards to my semi-autos, being shot gun, rifle and pistol. I prefer tp keep them all, as I'm a law abiding citizen and don't want to be told by others what I can or can't own.

 I agree it's rumored that some Americans even carry guns for their own protection. I can't imagine living in a country where you might have to defend yourself.

 I grew up on a ranch in Northern California, even in High School it was a Rifle, Shotgun and a 4WD. Nobody ever got shot, a gun can be a tool when used responsibly

@Brian *******
 The survey fails to tell us how many lives have been saved by guns. I can safely say that I have personally defended both my families lives and property, by simply brandishing my weapon. Has this ever occurred to you LIB
