Hi Thomas. I asked if I could transfer 1 million baht from my uk bank and they said I could but I’m yet to try

@Jan *****************

There is just no logic. You can understand why people use agents!

@Christopher **********

They did, it’s on my previous post. They wanted to charge 50k baht for the next 7 years until I reach 63. Then no payments until I die and covered up to 500k for life and health insurance. The Lady had baht signs in her eyes 😂

@Peter *********

Thanks Peter. I wasn’t aware. But once I’ve got to 100k I won’t need to put massive amounts in. Nice to hear from someone who is informative, I’m off to the bank today and hopefully that leg is complete. My intentions on here where to try and help people go through the process of trying to do things without the help of Agents, to show the obstacles that you have to overcome following all the changes that have come in recently, Unfortunately, you become the point of ridicule from some but hopefully my posts help others. I will keep you posted of the outcome here in Nong Bua Lamphu

@Peter *********

. Your response was very informative. I went into a branch of Krungthai Bank and they advised that if I can get immigration letter changed to their name, they will happily open the account. Fingers crossed

I’m not prepared to discuss my financial position on an open chat. Therefore, my answer purely related to matters relevant.

@Nick ******

. My thought process is that firstly I wanted to try and do the process myself, in order to give an insight into the problems and pitfalls of trying to open an account for yourself. I thought that posting the journey on here would help people’s decision making but unfortunately a lot of the responses are derogatory or sometimes not relevant.

I have been with my wife and they have explained the process.

Young man on reception. Very polite and helpful. Good knowledge but maybe my understanding of the terminology is slightly off but hey ho, everyday is a learning day
