I think you're missing a cog in the works. I've lived in Thailand for over a quarter of a century, and I opened my first Savings account at BBL Bank in 2000. After a few months, I decided to close it and choose other banks to simplify my operations. Try to keep your feet on the ground, and don't let your bald imagination run wild.

If BBL had operated as other banks in Thailand have, registering customer data with all the necessary precautions, including facial recognition, the scam wouldn't have happened today. BBL and its employees, in an attempt to attract large numbers of customers, opened haphazard savings accounts.

@Nick ******

Your comment is absolutely rubbish. Hold it close to your heart because the BBL has a representative in the City of London 😂😂

Good luck with BBL Bank

Bangkok Bank (BBL), a major Thai financial institution, has historically been perceived as less straightforward for foreigners seeking legal assistance for long-term visa support and other complex services.

While the bank has seen various incidents in recent years, which were generally attributed to internal issues, I recommend all foreigners consider the largest banks in Thailand: Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) Kasikornbank (KBank) and UOB Bank.

If you possess all the necessary official documentation, including proof of residency, a SIM card registered in your name, and a long-term visa, you should generally not encounter problems at any major banks branch.

Would you be willing to volunteer your time to help corrupt officials 🤔

Thailand has become a rogue country in the last two years.

All foreigners, tourists and non-tourists alike, must understand this very well.

Good luck for your future!

@Jeremy *******

It's not the banks around the world that are creating problems. The problems are caused by certain Chinese-Owned banks in Thailand, like BB, which are causing a lot of problems for their clients due to their incompetent staff.

I don't know how you got credited as the group's All-Star contributor. Please keep your nonsensical responses to yourself. Thank you 🙏

In a quarter of a century in Thailand, I've never understood the legal and policy systems for the entire country.

Everything is left to the discretion of the person in charge at the time.

The same goes for immigration.

Each of them operates at their own convenience.

These are the usual responses:

It's not possible.

I don't know.

I don't understand.
