Last month I opened an account with Bangkok Bank with my passport and copy rental agreement. I was slightly surprised that they did not ask for a certificate of residence.
Thanks.
It was me as well so I thought I should clarify. It will cost me 4,000 Baht more to use the agent's funds (if I can) - I would have lost 30k Baht at least if I had moved money from the UK.
I guess that half an answer is the Thai way.
Not criticising but the specifics are what matters. In my case I used them last year with my 800k in the bank; this year I don't want to transfer money over. Can they still do my 'renewal' on that basis?
I will ask that direct question nearer the time if this hasn't gone away by then.
