@Marty ********

make a little getaway out of it i guess. It takes approximately a week to clear it up and it becomes active again but I'm opening another bank account. This won't happen again. Remember 2 is 1 and 1 is none . 😆

take your bank book to bank branch you use each month and physically have the transactions printed into your book. That is the official record of the money you've brought in and what you've spent and your balance. Id also print out a monthly bank statement. When ya need it you'll be happy you have it.

didn't know that there was such a thing. It was not mentioned to me by the bank...I have a 1 year visa. They saw and photo copied it. Probably also because I already have an account. Not trying to open a new one.

youre on a tourist visa but not with Bangkok bank. I'd definitely go see them and make sure everything is updated. Phone number address etc. I am going to be more diligent with getting my passbook stamped etc. For all future banking here
