I opened an account 10 years ago and never had any problem. I just think maybe they opened to many accounts to easily and did lots for tourists as well so having to put their house in order.
no the west is trying to get people here to not trust the Thai banks and keep the money outside Thailand as the government is at the moment very unstable. You need to get your head out of the sand. Look at what happened in 97
wrong if you actually read the news and listen it’s the west tightening up on transfers because like Germany they can’t even keep up with their welfare payments monthly. The west are restricting transfers and one way is to bring in the name must exactly match the transfer account.
Soon you will be limited on amounts you can transfer and they will be held for 24 hrs for investigation to why you transfer it.
