nonsense you visit the bank every year to get a letter and statement for visa renewal - why would they close it, especially if it’s a deposit account - I can understand if it’s an arbitrary amount and the account remains inactive for several years….fearmongering

@Greg **********

not if it’s a deposit account - current accounts it is understandable

SCB Easi Pass - all on line doesn’t come with passbook , you can keep two accounts , one savings for Visa and one day to day - paperwork for visa renewal is issued same day for B100 we switched from BBK which was a nightmare…..

Use SCB Easi Pass and earn 2.5% immig are happy with this acct.

mine was full of stamps when I came here as a tourist , I was traveling everywhere on business - only got 30 days exemption - on the one occasion I came longer to plan retirement I got the correct visa from Thai Embassy in South Africa ……..these immig guys deal with this all day, lots of people trying to milk the system . I guess you will be wiser next time ……👍

@Henk ********

there is a rule, if you wish to spend extended periods in Thailand, or come and go as you please get the correct visa - which certainly is NOT the tourist exemption - note the word TOURIST which based on your travel profile the immig officer, decided that you were not in this category which is perfectly within his rights

@Henk ********

I say as little as possible especially with immig , customs and policeman - speak when spoken to is the safest way….. we live and learn 😊

Click bait if ever I saw one

Dawin Hotel is clean, cheap and central 5 mins from MRT station on Soi 4

You expect a serious answer to this question 🤔
