Not true, you can take out more buy you need to declare it via a cash declaration form.Originally Posted by ch1ldofthemoon

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.
Same here 3 banks that I have tried in Loei have given me the flat no no
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.

....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).
Anyone know if i can open an account at the BangkokBank's branch in London, looked on the website but can't find anything usefull and i don't want to go just to be told no as it's a pain in the arse driving and parking around there?
Well, luckily I didn't have any tortoises on me at the time...
^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
^thanks William,
I'm sure they'll know for sure when i call them
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
