@Dca ****
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

I can only speak on Bangkok bank frozen accounts. I have heard others talking about switching to others now

youre welcome. I would suggest bring a bottle of water some charged up ear buds a charged battery and enjoy a podcast or some zen music. Be patient and be understanding. Some guys look like they put on dirty laundry. Take a shower, dress up like going on a business appointment and smile at the ladies working in bank. They are busting their asses. It's not their policy its their bosses. Remember youre a foreigner.

Not directed at you. Just in general. Overall people were calm but some were a little rude and disturbing people with their behavior

I wish I knew. Not everyone got asked all those questions. Some did some did not. they questioned some more extensively some were up and gone in 15 minutes. Others sat with worker for a hour sometimes

I wouldn't say expect it because they do a little at a time. But its quite possible. I have no idea what the implications are for people not in thailand when this happens or like some never got an alert. They must have notifications turned off. But there was zero warning so people could retrieve funds . So remember that. Im thankful only 5k baht in there. But there's people with millions or at least their monthly expenses
