How can I open a bank account in Pattaya if I'm under 50 years old and facing new rules?

Marc ********

@Arnold *********

Still smarter than carry thousands of dollars in cash.

Just make sure you obey the 180 days rule and you don't even have to worry about tax.

And even so... how much you think they will tax me if I have 4000 dollars in my account? Not that much it will ruine me

Still better than use bank card from abroad at ATM or use WU or Wise or whatever🤷

Why has Western Union become cheaper than Wise for transferring money to Thailand?

Marc ********

People on FB always say Wise is the best.

But when I checked out the rates I was not impressed at all.

Not a good deal for me.

Maybe it's different if sending from the US but Switzerland it's not

Marc ********

@Nick ***********

I know it was a condition so they would open it for you without any other documents required.

But people here in the group said it's no longer possible. That's why I was wondering if you experienced it recently
