    Not true, you can take out more buy you need to declare it via a cash declaration form.

    more here

    cash declaration form

    Obviously, if the cash is a little "too hot to handle" then you wont be completing these forms in a hurry

    is it actually hard to get a bank account in thailand as id like to also have one as i have a labour company that hires foreign immigrants from there and for my companies services in providing work and accomodations we charge a fee...not much considering after talking with a thai girl yesterday in my home town in new zealand i discovered that even thai agencies are charging up to $10k nzd per person....i was shocked....my charge is less than $700 and for that i arrange all the work while they are here and somewhere to stay which they pay for weekly...

    I have never had any problems opening a savings account and getting a visa/ATM card.

    However I have a friend living in Nakhon Si Thammarat and it is impossible for a farang to open an account there.

    I've heard that too.

    I opened an interest-bearing, individual account while here on vacation in 2001 with just my passport.

    Other farangs seem to get the shaft.

    Is there a way to do this just using bank #'s, I'm waiting for a new card from my american bank (my other one exploded, taking 3 of my fingers, due to overuse - or maybe I lost it, cant remember) but I have a thai bank that takes 7 days to receive money transfers from overseas. This is causing considerable pains in my ass region. Thanks for the help.

She runs the Visa Debit card thru the imprint machine and I sign the slip, then in about 1 minute after she makes the phone call, the money is in my SCB account, She runs my passbook thru the machine and it is registered,,I can draw at the ATM or across the counter. The transaction costs me 30 baht.

    ....while I was in Chiang Mai in January,my local branch of Bangkok Bank asked me if I`d like to open an account. Stupidly,I said no,as I had my money in TT`s. When I`m back in June,I think I`ll take there offer up(if it`s still available).

    ^the last time I looked into, Bangkok Bank in LDN did not have account holders. It only acted as an agent bank. This could have changed, but I'd certainly give them a call first

    I tried to transfer money to my US citibank account at the branch on Sathorn and the manager said that they cannot contact US citibanks - I would have to use a wire transfer
