Why did Bangkok Bank lock my account without notice?

Erik *******

@Max ************

No. Your turn hasn’t come yet. Be patient: it surely will come. They don’t process all accounts at once but by groups.

Being blacklisted is the cause of rejection. Not the consequence.

Can you open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa?

Erik *******

For those who really live in Thailand and rent a place : if you have only Truemoney (no local bank account) good luck to get back your 2 months security deposit from your landlord 💸

What alternatives do you have if your bank account in Thailand gets closed?

Erik *******

Anonymous participant 507

Useless for me.

1) You can’t pay rent (to a landlord) with it .

2) you can’t pay personal QR codes , which are 90% of street vendors in Bangkok .

3) Can barely use it outside Bangkok : even regular businesses are using personal QR codes.

Why is my account number missing in the Bangkok Bank app?

Erik *******

Unfortunately it is becoming frequent and classic for DTV holders : account freezing/closing. Plenty of stories here.

Why was I charged two separate fees when using my Wise debit card at a Thai ATM?

Erik *******

@Chance *******

If you did the test like I did (comparing how many bahts I get for my bucks between Schwab and Wise for example ), you will see clearly that you get ripped alive as well !! Even with no fee and 220 thb back . The rate is terrible. That’s how they make money. But please don’t believe me: go check and see by yourself .
