keep up mate... The Bangkok bank is saying the money has got to in there 3 months or no letter.. So you could be meeting the immigration requirements and you still don't get a letter for immigration proof...

@John *********

and I'll say it one more time... It's an immigration letter that they are putting extra requirements on by holding your money.... I'll say it slowly... IMMIGRATION..... Hence it's an IMMIGRATION... issue.

@John *********

Bangkok Banks have been in on the 'abusing' in fact it was the preferred bank of many agencies... What gives the bank the authority to deal with immigration issues?

And you think it's OK for them to freeze your money? Your supposed to have the funds for emergency, by freezing funds you can't use it for its intended purpose. It's out of order and should be stopped..

@John *********

So your basically saying the Bangkok Bank can decide weather you get your visa extension??? Sorry but no way... They can't add extra requirements and not give a letter which could lead to somebody having to leave the country even though they meet immigrations requirements???​ What's the good reason by the way?

@Roberto *****

not enough information... Is this your first extension? If yes.. Then no you can't... After that yes you can.

@John *********

Bangkok Bank shouldn't have 'requirements' they don't decide who or if anybody gets a visa... I don't know how they are getting way with that BS...

I live 20km away and rarely go above 40k a month, even with dining out a couple of times a week and few beers most nights. Pattaya is a tourist area and your on holiday, just 'living' here and away from tourist hot-spots is a total different thing..

@Abey ********

book places for a month, always cheaper.. A bedroom for 15k is easy.. 500 a day.

@Abey ********

your on holiday in a tourist area... I would bet in Pattaya or Phuket? Out these areas and not throwing money around 1000 a day is plenty after your rents paid.

To live on outside tourist areas.. Easily enough.
