@David ****

so am i...100% in fact. Just let me open a bank account. Every bank, every branch, every worker in the banks wants something different.

@Joseph ********

how about fuck off and make me tough guy.

@Greg ********

by beating fuck out of assholes like you. I asked a legitimate question and nothing but billshit from 50+% of the replies...the administrator of this site needs to weed the trash out.

@Bill ********

they're everywhere

@Andy ***********

absolutely serious...but after all your just another smart ass aussie

@Tony *********

thanks..but you told me nothing I didn't already know...the issue here isn't that it's a difficult process, it's that they make it almost impossible. If the banks concern was really money laundering...an agent wouldn't be able to circumvent the process...the truth is that it's about lining pockets. And the bank account is the key to everything.

@Sarick *********

I believe that is 1000% the truth.

@Jesper ******

and some people who comment are just rude and ignorant...

@Stuart ********

I completely understand that it's virtually impossible to get my wife visa to visit my home in the US...that is both despicable and reprehensible. I have ask my congressional representatives to initiate a congressional inquiry to ask why? The argument that she won't return to Thailand is nonsense. I've also written the new Secretary of State to ask him why. I am a 70 year old Vietnam vet. 40 year retired Dept of Defense manager...I think the US owes me the right to allow my wife to visit me home for a few weeks. My frustration with Thailand is the whole bank account issue...impossible with a visa exemption

@Anthony ******

a bank account that requires a degree in quantum physics to open unless you grease palms. But since you live in PI why is it your concern...unless as I said before..your just an arrogant prick
