True but it does go on.My bank guy,I've known for 15 years, when I asked him about people having a problem opening an account and using an agent his remark was "Money talks" he never said it didn't happen.Nothing surprises me over the 20 years I've been here.I would suggest the agent "accompanies" the person wanting an account,similar to people using agents getting visas at Immigration

So you are in your 30's, for example, with a work permit and you need an agent to open a bank account,that's taking corruption to a new level.

Doubt any of the major banks Bangkok,Kasikorn,SCB etc are going to go belly up.Someone warned me about that 22 years ago 😂

@Daniel ****

You're wrong about me again on all counts.Do you always make assumptions about people you've never met and make cheap, derogatory comments ? 5 years teaching English at a private school when I first arrived in Bangkok with my students, mostly mature aged girls 21-40, fast tracked me through the cultural differences between their life style and ambitions.Many of them keep in touch and even come to see & thank me for helping them achieve their goals.My wife is a retired accountant from a large rural family I have many Thai friends,male and female.Your accusation that I don't know what their talking about is just ridiculous.Sin sods,if appropriate,are a private matter between those it's affects.Your speculation is irrelevant,try to stay civil and learn from others who have experiences that you have never had.

Moderating must be a nightmare on these FB groups 😢

@Daniel ****

You are the one that made the point about virginity.If you think a Thai girl discusses her sex life with her parents you are truly delusional.I clearly do know more than you and have been happily married to my lovely Thai wife for 19 years which I would suggest has given me a clear insight into Thai culture.Have no idea why you wish to continue this pointless discussion you're just going around in circles and digging a bigger hole for yourself.

@Daniel ****

Not really interested in one off "good friend" cases,if you want to believe a well-do-family,what ever that has to do with it,who insisted she was a virgin up to you.Think I've learnt enough over 20 odd years here to know the culture that exists in relation to sin sod.Have a good day 🙏

@Daniel ****

Yes agree but has nothing to do with virginity, hardly an issue any daughter would discuss with her parents.

@Daniel ****

What's being a virgin got to do with it ? Are you a virgin 😂 ?

Sounds about right,ours is 13 years old,cost 9,800b
