I opened an account at K bank. Rama 9 branch a few years ago. The manager was a nice fellow.
Only showed my passport with my Non O and stay to date page.
I have had 2 different Bkk bank accounts. One in Korat, that I closed, and one here opened at Rama 9. I have used Bkk bank for over 10 years. Deposited many thousands of baht per year. But that made no difference when I went to the Em Quartier branch to open a new account. I want a account just to use to make my monthly deposits.
BUT, I was told that I had to have a letter from my Embassy. The clerk showed me the bank rules on her PC and even showed me an example of what she wanted.
The manage came over and confirmed, .. Said my Embassy had to certify my passport or something like that.
Made no difference that I have, or had in the past had, an account with that bank now.
bs!!!!
