Hi guys Opened 3 accounts many years ago at Bangkok Bank HO for me, wife and joint. I only had a tourist visa. The joint and wife's accounts could be seen and used on the internet but not mine as I'm a farang. Recently Kasicorn bank across from BB wouldn't let me past the door to open any kind of account unless I had a work permit.. Incidentally, my joint debit card expired whilst staying in Hua Hin and the BB branch couldn't replace it as it has to be done in the province where the account is, notably Bangkok in this case. They were very helpful and the point was true, luckily we had more cards.

Hi My friends wife did the same thing, gambling in Loas casinos whilst husband visiting UK, and became a drug mule. . Drug dealers gave free trip + gave 200 baht for gambling as an enticement. . .got caught in a police sting in his car.. confiscated his car, she got 15 years cut to 4 due to grassing on the dealers, who got out the brown envelopes.. . He still obtained his visas etc as usual.. .My wife sweet talked an inspector to release the car for no charge (he had wanted 50k)
