mate Pete power is a clown and only believes in his own experiences. Basically call me a liar a few days ago as I had no evidence that three banks refused me an account and that it was because I didn't meet their requirements. Had many similar comments to you from the banks about marriage and yellow books etc. great if your married or have a yellow books.

Live your reply to Pete power sums him up a bit better than me as I just lose patience with the clown 🤡

you are a clown...you keep telling everyone it's straight forward when sooo many tell you it's not..it should be but in reality it's NOT....wish you would stop being so stubborn and misadvising endless people who are not as aware of how hut and miss opening a bank account can be. Lots of threads now moaning at you about this as I did many times last week but nothing can stop you and your inaccurate answer...stop telling everyone opening a bank account is simple...you could get someone to make plans based on your advice and it's so wrong.😡😡😡😡😡

you still harping on and insist you deserve proof. Not long ago you said no one even posted saying they even had this problem and I proved you wrong then. And still you deny and insist everyone wrong except you . What a egotistical gut you are..

I managed to get one on a non o 90 day in June. Three say no krungsri say yes. Definitely getting harder so god knows how meant to get extension as cannot satisfy immigrations bank requirements.

Something or someone has to give or will be forced to always pay agent high prices which will get even higher as demand gets greater.

I wonder if Thai govt know the position to get expats to stay ia actually becoming impossible as banks and immigration dail to work together apparently

Been getting worse despite many people on here saying no it's all ok.

Definitely been more issues raised the last few weeks

I got mine end of June with all the correct paperwork was rejected by Bangkok bank, kasikorn and krungthai.in the end krungsri did mine in udon thani. Needed all the paperwork plus proof if phone contract and wanted my tin number,when I explained I don't work at all in Thailand they accepted my UK national insurance number,bit bizarre, and they wanted second form of id and accepted my UK drivers license. Said would have to be approved in Bangkok head office as and I would know in two weeks if any issues.been five weeks now so hopefully all good

The other three banks all said my non o 90 day visa based on retirement was classed as tourist and would have to be one year or would help if I was married.
