Lots of comments here recommending the use of an agent. It looks like the use of an agent will guarantee approval of a secured bank account but I believe the process that the agent use will still be the same as the person who intends to open a bank account would do.

So that seems to imply the agent may have some 'pre-agreements' with the bank officers and the branch Manager.. 😎

@Mark ********

is that Thai licence that you got a driving licence only includes motorbike riding licence too?

@Frank *********

true

@Jim *******

@Steve *******

understood clearly. 😅

@Steve *******

so true on the last part! 🤣

@Jim *******

haha.. i have been going in and out of Thailand for the past 50 years and I am from Malaysia.

Frankly speaking, even the Thai Immigration officers themselves can get confused with their own rulings but they just have to comply and obey the rulings and directives. 😅

@Steve *******

many countries operate to the same rules regardless of whichever point of entries.

My question was why Thailand does not stick to a standardized ruling for all its points of entry or is it because it's due to the different requirements from the respective neighboring countries?
