And what country might that be?

You must be near my old age, to be asking that question!

Also, the government-insured amount is based on the bank being financially unable to keep up its obligations. Has nothing to do with theft.

Up to you, Darren, what you want to believe. I have no reason to make this up, nor to be bothered by someone calling me a liar.

@Eric *****

Yes but it’s a very minor amount, something like 1 million Thai Baht.

Probably not. I lived in Udon Thani from 2004-2011, though I’ve been a frequent visitor to Thailand since 1978. While living there, I occasionally came across such a story in the Bangkok Post.

If you need to confirm Kasikorn’s reputation, I suggest asking local Thai who are financially self sufficient; korn Jon, or poor folks, would not be targets of inside theft or professional hackers. Though I suppose everyone reads the BP.

People have seen their money disappear from Kasikorn Bank a few times over the years. In nearly every case, the account holders never saw their money again. I remember one case in which a staff member took the money & disappeared; the bank, supported by the police, said they were not to blame.

Personally, I would steer clear of Kasikorn Bank.
