Can I open a Bangkok bank account in Pattaya and show the statement from another branch for my visa extension?

Carsten ************

Every Bank branch can give you a statement for the last 6 months. Statements for 12 months they have to order from Bangkok Headquarters. However, many branches will refuse any service and gonna tell you to visit your home branch.

Carsten ************

Border bounce with some agency in minivan is a kind of suizid. I recommend a flight to Phnom Penh, Vientiane or any other City in the neighborhood. That's not much more expensive and definitely not wasted money.

@Jo ******

you leave only once. After first 60 days you go to your local immigration and there you get a 30 day extension. After that 90 days you do a border bounce or visit a neighbour country for a couple of days. Returning you get another 60 days and again a 30 day extension at local immigration.

Can I simply change the address on my bank account in Thailand when moving from Bangkok to Hua Hin?

Carsten ************

You can't just change your address. You will always be connected to your "home branch" in Bangkok. After moving to HH I recommend to open a new account there.

Is there any benefit to having a Thai driving license if you don't intend to drive in Thailand?

Carsten ************

You don't need to carry your PP or a copy of it with you anymore. No other benefits (anymore).
