It’s why I opened my account at head office in silom of Bangkok bank. Even though I live in phang Nga. It’s also useful to take a Thai friend with you , preferably mature female.
not true. I have had my account ten years and yesterday I had to make a transfer to my wife and it blocked me. Thankfully I have two other accounts and a wise account
I paid zero because after deductions and allowances and I’m using monies earned prior to the date. But they are changing the laws ( again ) which if implemented will work in expats favour.
