@Mark *******

this is not my experience, a local branch offer a statement that type of thing, but once you ask for a new passbook or account changes no way, I closed my accounts in Bangkok and opened them in my hometown when I stopped working .

@Shane *******

no not yet

@Pete *********

I've not heard that. But its logical because can offer a higher level of security, however, the current sim verification although cumbersome seem adequate, they probably phase it in rather do doing a big bang.

AIS and probably others offer eSims, these have the benefit that you can buy before you travel. Your phone obviously needs to be eSim capable.

my DLT would not accept the yellow book. But it could be a local thing (Prachinburi)

@David *********

just had a thought, for my visa extension I live with my wife, and have fill a Thai form also residence certificate, it requires the house owner. Details. And copy of the blue book and her ID

@David *********

not sure, mine took 15 mins

I did it the other week. Immigration wanted, passport, my yellow book, The TM30, they took my passport so I dont know if they checked my 90 day.

@Jim ********

BTW I got a second sim on AIS, account, it was in my name and they needed my passport, I called them about my first aacount and asked them them is the second there and verified, its there but not verified, you need to go into AIS with your passport to do that, it might be worth a call when your back make sure its verified. The helpline is good

It might be worth calling the branch itself, probably need a Thai person to do. And try find out what you need to do. Il

Does your mobile phone name match your bank account? Which carrier you with?

I moved all my accounts to a local bank to avoid this when I retired working from Bangkok. Probably easier said than done now aday.
