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

@David *********

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.

The "normal" thing here is that your name match on your AIS and Bankok bank are different or the AIS account has not been verified. Just take your documents into your branch and they should release it. By the way do you go into your local bank regularly?

I can't offer tax advice, but I saw recently that YouTubers in Thailand have been told they should pay tax, in their case they are making content of Thailand. If your work is totally un-connected to Thailand its different. But dont forget money remitted to you from outside Thailand is very like taxable.

I think its 15, but a parent can open an account on behalf of a child under that age, but the parent is responsible. I'm not sure if the child can use all the facilities, like debit card, probably not.

outside of Bangkok private school will be cheaper, I pay 60kthb school fees a year. Its a Thai private school, but a young person should pick the language quickly.
