not true. My account since 2012. Got my messages since before end 2024. This is the bank trying to help prevent clients from being scammed and money laundered by crims. So its in your own interest. If you get scammed you will end up being one of the 1st to complain.

i also read recently regarding money laundering e.a. Cambodia and some chinese opening and closing accounts channelling illicit funds. Thats why Bkok bank has upped the ante.

agents in cahoots with people who shouldnt retire in Thailand in the 1st place. But money talks. Fact is, immigration will ramp up requirements more and more as agents and clients cut more and more corners.

They do it because of the high incidence of fraud and scams lately.

Buy a property and then open one.

180 days p.a. max has been the norm since long ago. Totally correct.
