It's funny how the bad actor in these situations is always a woman. Always.
Is that because there aren't many men in managerial positions in Thai education? Or is it about time we started talking about Toxic Feminity in Thai culture?

i'm an ex financial journalist and spent most of the last ten years writing stories about anti money laundering regulations tightening. I have no insight to this specific issue but it fits a broader trend of banks taking an over rigorous approach to new rules because non compliance fines are huge. Nigel Farrage and Couts is a good example of this. Given what ive read about Bangkok Bank that is almost certainly the explanation- hopefully others have ideas on how to unlock it. good luck
the not wanting to deposit cash thing is a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder- they love control and money, so it bothers them. Roughly 50% of the expats are in Thailand NPD, so this guy should fit right in
