Maybe worth checking at SCB. I was able to open an account with them last week with no issues. No residency certificate or lease required either.

@Dexx ****

If I was you I'd be taking my money out and changing banks now after the way you've been treated

@Dexx ****

if they want a lease then they'll accept whatever lease agreement you provide them. The bank doesn't set your lease agreement terms for where you live mate. Goodluck with your solution, hopefully it works. Maybe you want to share what you are trying so others in a similar predicament can also give it a go.

@Dexx ****

can't your partner (or whoever the land owner is) just write you a lease? Why do you need to put ฿5000 per month, can't you just put no monetary value or ฿100 a year etc?

the camera does not open to scan the passport when selecting foreigner when trying to register. It works perfectly if you select Thai ID.

Unfortunately the foreigner scan option has an issue now

I'm still with AIS on my monthly plan of 100gb at 10mb/s for ฿200 per month

@Colin *******

yes I thought there was 30yrs or an option for lifetime already now.

Hi Peter, could I please ask you a question, I know you are an Aus resident for tax purposes and Aus has sole taxing rights over your money as per Article 4 in the DTA but my question is if you're still considered a Thai tax resident as you spend more than 180days here? For example, what do/will you write on the tax declaration forms if/when sent to you from your Aus bank? Cheers mate.

I'm not going to read every comment on the post looking to see if you added anything extra to your first incorrect reply. I was responding to this comment you made. Also, Old boy, I'm only mid 30s lol.
