Wise transactions are limited to 50k baht to the banks other than the ones I mentioned

It may also be difficult to get the transactions as international transfers so need to check

International deposits to Krungsri limited to 50k a transaction so more complicated than the others (BKK, Kasikorn, SCB)

I believe that people are conflating two different events happening at a similar time, the Chinese scammers and mobile security confirmation which WILL result in non verified accounts being closed... 331

According a report from a visa agent, internal BKK bank regulations currently prohibit opening accounts on tourist visas because of regulatory issues, but there is no actual legal prohibition (i.e. they're not prima facie illegal). There are issues with accounts which don't match registered mobile numbers etc. but that's a general regulatory issue, not one specific to tourist visas

They were closing accounts opened with false documents from Chinese scammers on tourist visas (or visa exempt entry probably)
