@John *********

best advice is for people to switch bank if they have bangkok bank. They have said they may freeze access of fall below tje requirements. Sucks to have bank that wants to play immigration and visa enforcement now.

@Darren ******

your so full of shit . 60 day to 30 day was going to be a policy change. It's not a visa idiot. Bangkok bank new change to immigration. Policy. Read bangkok Post and keep up idiot. 60 day exemption is not a visa as the op asked about. Its funny you live in Vietnam. Your a real piece

who said anything about visa, question was about reducing 60 back to 30 for exemption entry. Try reading and maybe keep up to date with policies from bangkok post

@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

@Bob *********

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.
