really? in other countries like Denmark you can drive 3 months with a Thai license - and if I drive in Thailand with my Danish drivers license I can only do that provided I have a IDP from Denmark and only for 3 months - after that I will need a Thai drivers license
all Thai banks except SCB kasikorn and Bangkok bank only accepts 49.999 baht - and those 3 banks now require a photo taken by the bank if you want to deposit more than 49.999 baht
