hi it was Bangkok bank that wanted all pages copied I just could not be bothered with all they wanted to see again as had done this 2 months earlier, so we're they going to freeze my account again in 2 months ,, I went kasikorn to open account, passport, rental agreement, residence certificate from immigration, had new account in 1 hour, and transfers take seconds so more than happy

totally agree,, why do they give you 30 days to sort it out but freeze your account, be better if they gave you 7 days then freeze if you not sort it, better off with kasikorn as transfer is instant unlike bkb

I changed bank as this the second time in 2 months my account has been frozen without notice, how many more times are they going to this that's the problem, so went to kasikorn and had new account in 1 hour, tested the transfer from wise and it took 30 seconds to go into my kasikorn account
