@Chris ****

I used to see lots of Thais wearing masks before the pandemic because of bad air quality ;)

@Winston *******

I'm still alive having arrived just over a year ago with the trip taking around 24 hours door to door. I didn't suffocate. Neither did I suffocate jogging in Bangkok with a mask when we lived there. Guess I must just have been lucky?

You are able to send 50,000 THB or above per transfer only to the following banks as of 7 January 2022 due to regulatory changes:

Bangkok Bank Public Company

Kasikorn Bank

Siam Commercial Bank

I used the front door at Kasikorn no problems.

@Duncanc *********

HSBC don't offer private banking accounts IN Thailand.

@Cliff ********

And yet they still request it for 90 day reports, residency certificates and visa apps?

@Michael ******

Also worth noting that only Bangkok, Kasikorn and Siam Commercial banks can accept transfers over Thai Bt 49,999 in one transaction.

@Shane ****

As Stuart says residency certificate. Get it from immigration. Don't get it at the UK Embassy they charge about £50! Immigration in Korat issue residency certificates for free with a 7 day turn around, fee and turnaround may vary from office to office. The paperwork at Korat was a bit of a faff, but if you want a bank account that's how it is...

@Paul *********

Doesn't the change to Bt3m take affect from 1st of September with visa extensions before that date being under the old rules?

@Bill ********

EVA are from Taiwan?
