If you can afford it, use an agency, some want to do it on their own and others would rather use the time on other things. I am older and use an agency for everything. Easy peasy.

Depends on where you are. The North every thing you do is going to cost more period. It should be cheaper but it is not.

If you're in the South just go to an agent 4,000 baht. Done.

The recent scams by the Chinese mafia. BKK Bank was hit hard financially. Unfortunately, their knee jerk reactions has caused even more damage. Too many people are not willing to go through this much drama for them to house OUR money. Other banks are not excessive in this, but they are being extra cautious as to who is opening an account.

I have had Bangkok bank for almost 20 years.

I am done with them useless bungling in my opinion. I leave only enough to keep the bank account open.

I am a long timer on a retirement visa. I was told for my last 90 day report that I was already in the system and didn't need to come back. The officer even seemed slightly annoyed that I returned to report it again. I am still puzzled from the encounter. I think with the influx of new expats they are overwhelmed. I am going to do my report regardless simply to play it safe.

Geo, there are other ways. Give me a ring if you can.

The owner of the dog is liable for any damages to the vehicle. If you feel morally obligated help. Otherwise you are not at fault here.
