OK thanks. Now I am totally confused as my bank has said I can transfer my account to another branch.....

Anyway appreciate the replies.

Have a great festive season.

@Stuart **********

Thanks Stuart for the suggestion .... appreciate it but it doesn't answer my question.

My problem is logistical and I can either transfer my account to another branch or change banks..... given my current bank has proven to be the most inflexible and bureaucratic of the Thai banks it seems an opertune time to change banks if that was possible ..... hence the question.

@Ellie ******

Great. Thanks so much for that.

@James *******

I sort of suspected that. Thanks for the reply.

Oh and she will fly in. I did see the earlier post but it was exactly my question.

@Robin *********

thanks .... thankfully conscription is not an issue for her.
