Closed my Bangkok bank account after second time of freezing it. Took my money and went to Krungthai who were more than happy to give me an account.....no problems thus far π
When my wife and I applied for ours online in Vietnam (Thai embassy in Ho Chi Minh) they also wanted proof of where you are. Easily enough done, a few selfies outside the post office in Hoi An. Also a bill or reciept with your name on it. Again, easy enough. Got the hotel we were staying at in Hoi An to right me out a reciept for our stay. For my wife, the moped rental shop wrote one out and signed and stamped it for authorisation.
