Aye, Aye, SIR!!!

@John *******

didn’t seem as he supports Nazi’s or their ideals and actions. Just more of a smartass joke about Germany. To each their own, but being upset on a grey area at best remark is overboard. Good luck to you, the world is not a kind place.

@John *******

on the internet people say things. You may not like it, but they do and there is no need to whine for an admin. Seems it’s your first day and you must not know that, so I welcomed you.

Keep trying different banks and different branches.

I was in on a Non-O and had deposited almost 1 mil THB in my existing SCB account that I kept from when I lived here before. Went to same SCB and many other SCB branches and they kept saying I could not open a new account unless I have the residency letter. Then tried multiple Kbank and Bangkok Bank branches, finally found the BKKbank at Gtower would open a new account (they’re currently closed due to COVID).

@Bobby *******

worked for me opening three different accounts. First in 2015 at SCB, no problem. Then a few years later tried same SCB to open a second for joint with my Thai kid and they would not without the embassy letter or certificate of residency from Thai immigration (even though I had 1st account with over 1mil THB). Went to like 5 more SCB’s with same result, then found one who would. Same last year with BKK Bank, it took about 4 before one would allow me to open without the letter or certificate.

Korean Air: ORD to ICN to BKK (in September). Had to make a separate itinerary to get to Chicago on the repatriation itinerary.

Thank you for taking the time to post such an extensive list. I’m saving for future reference.
