I opened mine about 7 months ago at BBL and they told me I was lucky as the regulations were to tighten up next day. At the time I just needed my passport and an address. From all the conversations I’m seeing it appears they are starting to require a lot more. Likely related to tightening money laundering restrictions and the flood of dodgy Russian money coming into the country. Anything Russian is going to attract bank compliance departments

BBL. Make sure you have passport, and a Thai residence address

Gold? Not a reliable store of value. Boring vanguard tracker fund and forget it

@Keith *******

you can bring them but be prepared if you’re flagged to do explaining. It’s basically a crap shoot and up to the officer

I would not bring 35 tins. That’s beyond “gift”. A few gift cans should not be an issue

Still there and it’s appreciating

interesting. I already own landed property (not the land but the house built on it) jointly. Would that qualify? Also, sounds like this is something best managed thru an agent
