Yes. You do not even need to be in US to get an account (on a bank to bank basis).

We were talking about Bangkok Bank. And I had no problems getting an account as a US citizen

Correct. Not all foreigners are tourists, but all tourists are foreigners.... And foreigners can open accounts without even being in these countries (bank per bank basis). And yes, tourists can open accounts in these countries as well.

yes, foreigners can open bank accounts in both USA and UK . Not an issue to do.

Please share a reputable link that this is occurring. Googling it says this is not the case.

I read this article and it could be the exact screen play / synopsis for the Thai movie Dangerous Boys 2 that was at the theater this year. like they reenacted a scene based on the same premise even.

So the paper and the police put the witness in HUGE DANGER??!! Paper both show and tell he provided vehicle and license plate and his full name. papers editor and company needs to be made an accomplice if the witness gets harmed.

I enjoy the bars having to be closed for a day here and there. And am happy for service industry people to get some days off. as others have said. The daily hours is the more annoying law

Well, yeah. You never know what's going to be simple here and what's going to be a massive obstacle.. Anyways... I went to my agent and gave him my passport. Total cost 1000 baht and zero time at immigration. But I do appreciate your reply and @DrJack54 help.

ah, the ole' "inclusivity" card being played. What other flags are being included to be flied that they are not getting to join with?

No it's not difficult to get to but the lines can be horrendous and so can the attitudes. My landlord once forgot to fill out tm30 for me after I did visa run and when I went in for extension they held me hostage and treated me like I was overstaying for 2 months and refused to grant it. Took a lot of effort and time. I want to avoid that treatment (and the loss of an entire day at immigration) if possible. Ok. thank you for your help. I'll inform my agent and meet them there if that's the only way. I appreciate your wisdom being shared.

I cannot just hand it off to agent to handle? or is that not an option? I know I get zero respect in Jomtien immigration even when I've done nothing wrong. Feel like I can/will have worse result. as for "can leave for later" eventually that would lead to me being like 200 days without report etc...doesn't that just look worse?

I am 5 weeks late. Never been late on anything before, I thought I had until June for some reason in my head. (this would be my 2nd reporting actually). What is best method to rectify? Mail or go to my agent? or other? I defintely to not want a "red stamp" as well in my passport.

there any information on why he was attacking dentists?

Besides the burnings which is a whole cultural issue they'd have to overcome... One of the simplest would be overall motor vehicle exhaust regulation. Seems like every Thai vehicle has been modified for 3 extra hp from bike to truck that just bellow out black smoke
