likely sending funds to his bank in thailand, I initially did this up until 3 years back when I started using Revolut , I get this on my Bank of scotland within the app for the last year, a pop up message telling me their records indicate I’m resident in Thailand is this correct, with a yes or no option, even as my address is still listed as a family member address in uk.

As yet I haven’t responded to the pop up

I transferred into my KBank from overseas over 200,000thb after the 1st this month, and just 4 days ago transferred 180,000 from same KBank account to the wife for part payment for kitchen units also a receiving KBank account no issues.

my passport was the only identity evidence they ever asked me for, that was for both bank applications, ID page of passport and evidence of long stay (eg, visa stamped with entry and validity of duration), they took scans of that, however that was years ago when I got those, I had already my Thai driving licence which would have sufficed as Thai photo id but was never asked for that.

Each branch is as good as the staff employed there, I’ve had both a kbank and Scb account for 14-15 years, never an issue with kbank, but hardly use my Scb account,

I’d have thought your country id would be your passport ?

@Braulio ********

tariffs are kicking in I guess

@Jasmine *********

that’s only slightly on the high side for your usage not factoring in the extra unit price you’re paying, we are using 2 x AC 14 hours during day and the bedroom one 9 hours during night, we’re paying around 3500-3600 monthly

@Martyn ******

they can ask, a few days ago when departing Qatar when returning to Thailand they asked me to show them the TDAC was completed, I informed them I don’t need to register it prior to checkin, no issue with that.

Also the poster can simply show the second passport confirming TDAC not needed in their instance, I travel on two passports and I’ve been asked a couple times to show my visa for the arriving country which may be on that second PP, shouldn’t be an issue

certainly you’d get a free room,, service not as you might expect though, no set menu and the rooms are quite small at Bang Kwang aka

“the Bangkok Hilton”

I entered yesterday this being my second application ,,,

checkin staff on this occasion at Doha initially asked I complete the process and show the barcode before checking in for the flight but I informed them not necessary to be completed prior to checking in, so no issue.

My first application when I entered a couple days after the procedure started, I didn’t receive the barcode but had note of the ref number which wasn’t required by immigration anyway since they hold all the info in the system.

still a low % of passengers get pulled, I travel out/in on a near monthly basis, have done this for 17 years, I carry around two pieces total 35kg - 40kg luggage each time and only been checked once in all those years, on the other hand yes of course the likelihood would increase if carrying more luggage.
