It's rampant then!!

Finally, the streets are now safe!!!

They are fine, stop clutching your pearls

Yeah, how dare we just ask about what is going on and ask for some clarification. But you can engage in the dumb hyperbolics if you want.

People on here are talking about different branches telling them different things. I have more than 50 k in my accounts. "I have BKK Bank, K-Bank and Krungsri. None of them has contacted me. " - that is the point It is very simple, there has been no uniform clear announcement. But sure, you die on the hill of it is all going to plan ????

Sad to hear, he always gave out solid advice on the forum.

Well that is the thing, I haven't received anything from the three banks I have accounts for . And you think this is about the wording of the announcements? What about the fact that different banks are giving out different information? Even different branches within the same bank. Also, some statements released talked about using Thai national IDs to be able to use the services.

and literally no one has said that making accounts ore secure is an issue. What is an issue is the mixed messaging and no clear announcements

It was ice

No one is saying the changes are bad, we are saying it isn't clear and doesn't seem to be well planned.

Do you have some evidence of this? By the sounds of it all the banks are saying different things and no one seems to have a clear idea of what is going to happen.

Is this going to be a case of "farrang don't need to do" and then when you do want to withdraw more than 50,000, or transfer more than 200,000 you can't because you aren't registered via Thai id number?

So we are talking one edge case and the likelihood of it happen again are really minute, right?

and how are they doing that when they are in prison?

Yes, if you go to a private hospital, or you visit two hospitals in the same day.

But how much are they going to cover for hospital charges? There is always a limit.

First Thai music I heard, was on the Butthole Surfer - Locust Abortion Technician album Kuntz ????

Bit of old school again

I love old school Thai music

You have already had the answer from others, yet here you are fixated on it still. Also, there is no legal requirement for a refugee to claim asylum in any particular country. The 1951 Refugee Convention does not require a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another. There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive. Pretty sure Thailand has signed up to the convention, but I may be wrong.

Could be a hundred reasons, who cares why he ended up here. The point is how the Thai authorities treated him.

would not put it past them to do that.
