like a lot of things in Thailand. SCB bank policy maybe. It's not a problem with me personally. I am retired , all I've got left is time. A note to people maybe not as fortunate as me. Thinking of you. I opened a bank account with Kasikorn yesterday. I may end up with 2. 😂

@Jim ******

wish it was , I am not that clever

I listened to some advice from people here and a short consultation from a visa agent

I have visited Kasikorn Bank in market village Hua Hin and after 45 minutes I am now a proud owner of a bank account. They were lovely and didn't question any of my paperwork. They tried to sell me house insurance but I have declined until I do some research in this matter. Any advice would be welcomed

No my name is not in my blue book.

And have a blue book

@Ian *********

yes , I own my house and 30 year lease on the land

@Craig ********

I will just have to wait and see then. All of my paperwork is in order so I can't see why they would refuse but who knows

@Michael *******

it was on the form but I didn't fill it in and they still accepted it but I would have it handy in case

thanks for all your input Max. Just got 2 x cor's which was simple as well
