As this bank isn’t my primary bank account, I do not maintain a debit card with them. Kinda ridiculous to pay for a debit card as in Australia or New Zealand many banks provide them complimentary.

I don’t believe I was in violation. If my Thai primary bank had the same standard to work off it seems I am compliant as I can still access my banking

@Gregory *******

I guess I’ll leave this until 2026 when I’ll next be in Thailand.

if you’ve ever worked a corporate job… you’ll find the most simple things just don’t work.

I guess this is my fault really, expecting my SIM card registered in my name matching one of my bank accounts in my name.

Kinda bullshit really… I bet a local wouldn’t have ran into this issue. My Thai girlfriend who’s based in Australia with me seems to have her bank accounts running just fine (Bangkok bank, Krungthai, government savings bank)

@Jordan ****

Formally, I maintain a Thai phone number which is registered in my name.

The last interaction I had with my provider involved me changing my phone plan from post paid to prepaid which required them matching my physical passport to the account they had on file.

@Jim ******

The account was opened legally with a legitimate non-immigrant B-A visa

In the near future my return trips to Thailand will be on the basis of non-immigrant visas

@Chris ***

My girlfriend insists I should recover it.

Other than that, I couldn’t really care.

@Russel *************

even when I was based in Thailand I never was able to access the website banking for some reason. Only ever the app.

Just thought to share my experience as I think this may affect other people

Well guess this doesn’t apply to me as I already hold two Thai licences (permanent five year forms) along with a Thai IDP 😆

Just do the extra steps they want from you bro, in your home country I guarantee it takes so much longer.

Isan / North are my #1 preference personally.

Isan is amazing yes, but reality is that it’s for adventure travellers or people who live here and want to see something different. It’s generally not setup for tourism and lacks infrastructure. You need a car, and then it’s too much of a local area.

There are ten to twenty other locations to consider in Thailand… which outcompete isan
