@Tsering ********
they already said they won't change it for another year. Their numbers are to low to even consider it. But they find other policies to push people to Vietnam

the blame the Chinese but make all farangs suffer for it. Its never safe to keep money in thai bank anymore. Bangkok bank sent a statement out last week that they have the right to freeze access if you don't follow visa requirements. So now banks are immigration enforcement. Total bullshit

@Adam *****
yep they are finding new ways to steal our money. New excuse if they can't verify your phone number they will suspend your account and freeze your money. I personally went into bangkok bank to update my number and it took 7 days to update. Suspended my app during the time. So much bullshit to have a thai bank account.

last week I walked out of my condo on soil 6 and walked to soi 4 and I couldn't believe all the Africans. I pay a lot of money to do things the legal way. The cops know they are there and have no visa but government officials blame legal long term retirement for all the problems. It blows my mind
