This seems like some drunken epiphany. The DTV appears to be working as intended. Attracting long term tourists to Thailand while allowing them to work remotely. If the person pays tax on their income outside of Thailand, their home country has a taxation agreement with Thailand and they spend less than 6 months in country I'm pretty sure they aren't required to pay tax, or at least that was my understanding. Weren't you posting about your retirement visa a a few weeks ago, why are you bothered by the DTV?
Just out of interest, which mobile phone provider are you with? The AIS app will let you see what the name attached to your phone number is and if its different from yours, which mine was, it will let you update the name. Im unsure if the other network providers offer the same service on their apps.
of course I dont think everyone is trying to open a bank account in Bangkok, that would be as stupid as this comment. Im just sharing my experience of opening a bank account in Bangkok and hoping it can be of assistance to someone in the future. Your comment is unhelpful and unwanted.
it's was actually very easy with Kasikorn, you wouldn't even need an agent. I didnt take one with me, my girlfriend came with me in case translations were needed.
this was what I was saying to my girlfriend, the way they seem to have responded to the banking changes by going well over seems to suggest some form of guilt. Hopefully this bunch of comments can help people and save them time in the future.
it's amazing how consistently Kasikorn seem to be the most polite and helpful. Hopefully we can spread the word and save people time and effort in the future!
