Agents can not help with funds . They take your funds only. yes payment it is. Agency fee is increasing higher and higher. So it costs much.

Actually for me, I am not worry about living when bank freeze my account in thai bank. Bangkok bank as well. I am on retirement visa for one year extension, so I need to put over 800,000 THB in a thai bank, probably in Bangkok bank. Still it is not easy at all to open another thai bank account. I do not know why? even I am on retirement visa. so it is. For me, only bangkok bank is available for my visa things. I have some other cards from outside of thailand, that I can also use too. However, I planed to live for long time in Thailand. So I moved here. Yes, I want to make Thailand my second home or home. But, if the bank like this in Thailand, sudden death of my accounts, life here seems really difficult. And how can I put considerable amount of money that I have in Thai bank? For the long term, I would move my money to Thailand, so that I can live like locals. For tourists or short term stayers, this problem is not big at all. They just can use some other tools to live on in Thailand. But if someone like me planed to live in thailand for long term or until die, They need to move their money to Thailand some day in future. My concern is now, how to extend my visa next year with bangkok bank? and how sure I can be with my deposit over 800,000 THB? What if the immigration rejected bangkok bank statements? And even I can extend my visa, but how sure I can put my all money to the bank in Thailand?? Honestly, for retirees especially, people like me, living mostly with savings and old, this bank issue is really important. Keeping the savings is a big issue for us too. However, if thai bank, especially bangkok bank will do things like this, it is really worrying for me and maybe this can change my whole life plan too. The bank is a trust and credit. so without this, there is no bank. The bank must show they are trustful to the customers. But, if BKB does jobs like this, suddenly freezing the account for no clear reason, how can I trust the bank? Is this actually bank?

@John ******

so, bangkok bank cant be used for immigration?

most of people did not get any notice before freezing. Me too. Even I got always notice about any kind of withdraw or transcations from the bank.

@Phil ********
