curious Why is Bangkok Bank not recommended? I’ve used it for 12 years already and I’ve had no major issues. I only stay in Thailand 2 months each time we go there every year.
No, I had a minimum of 65,000 TB transferred to my Bangkok Bank Account from my U.S. Bank each month starting 14 months before I arrived there and each month while there for 2 years.
I’ve never used an Agent, I did the application, bank documentation documents, etc., myself. Most Agents are paying off the Immigration Officer and many of them are Immigration Officers.
