Good information ????
My experience was a positive one. I renewed my 12 month extension last month which took approx. 10 mins plus 3 mins to collect my passport the following day. The Centre section (Building B in your post)
was not completed at the time. No doubt initial confusion will arise. I would give it a couple of months before most areas are streamlined.
These interest account should be for the Thai people only. Why should they accept you into their system.
I can’t even open a bank account in the UK, which is the country of my birth.
Your comment refers to the minority of Chinese visitors. Asian visitors/tourists as a whole who visit here contribute far more than Western countries to the Kingdom’s GDP. They are the ones who can be seen laden with bags at the high end shopping malls. Unlike most Westerners who can be found in the coffee shops and food halls.
Same email from KrungThai bank. Although it said to apply before 31 July, following a 40 minute queue the Teller said foreigners will not be able to complete until 4 August!
