    Plus a large number of Farang, myself included "...myself included". Their plan will work, then! The chance that they would be relying on your patronage is very remote.
  2. Liverpool Lou
    Then their plan is working, keeping the riff-raff out.
  3. Liverpool Lou
    What does not make sense in this instance?

    "...now there are too many rules that is limiting the enjoy of a relaxed holiday..." Huh? What are those "rules" that are in place "now" that haven't been there for decades and do not "limit the enjoyment of a relaxed holiday"?
  5. Liverpool Lou
    That would be the idea.
  6. Liverpool Lou
    Which branch?
  7. Liverpool Lou
    Please remember that the credit of interest does NOT count as a transaction in this situation, at least in the case of SCB. I wasn't suggesting that was the case.
  8. Liverpool Lou
    I was thinking more of the Thai 'friend' who stands in as the owner of the company with controlling influence. It was also announced that nominees were being investigated.
  9. Liverpool Lou
    Not certified, so no good. Says who?
  10. Liverpool Lou
    No less so than any other politician, especially those on the other side of the aisle. What was he convicted of, again, anything of any consequence that will not be overturned on appeal in due course?
  11. Liverpool Lou
    William...William who? AIS's involvement? Cheated by whom? Couldn't be less specific, could you? Nominee company case?
  12. Liverpool Lou
    Mentioned one earlier. Then there is the land and resort on Phuket wherein the British barrister met with an unfortunate accident. Good enough for you or do you need more? No, not good enough, the British barrister case was not a nominee company case as an example of a "pretty common phenomenon". What was the one you "mentioned earlier", why can't you mention it in your reply to me?
  13. Liverpool Lou
    Prosecution of lawyers (if that's what you mean by "proxies") setting up such companies has been reported when similar raids have been made in the past

    Perhaps the reason is that so many of them are complete pains in the arse to other motorists who are allowed to use the road? What's so special about "bigger motorbikes"?
  15. Liverpool Lou
    Fear-mongering nonsense. There is no suggestion, whatsoever, that agent-assisted, legitimate bank accounts are being targeted. Where has freezing these legitimate accounts been mentioned? There is no law prohibiting banks from opening introduced accounts but 'mule' accounts are a different matter and that is what the OP is about.
  16. Liverpool Lou
    That's what you think, it is no longer that easy. Unless, of course, you can specify the bank/branch that will open a new account for someone with an appropriate visa presenting just their passport.
  17. Liverpool Lou
    The OP is about opening new bank accounts, not visa agents assisting with extensions.
  18. Liverpool Lou
    Any transaction on a bank account keeps it active as long as the balance doesn't drop to zero. Regarding the rules for your specific bank's current account, you need to ask them through their call centre or FAQs on its website.
  19. Liverpool Lou
    Common examples of this "pretty common phenomenon" in which successful businesses are stolen from foreigners? Just a couple that you have knowledge of would be great.
  20. Liverpool Lou
    Indeed, someone "should of".
  21. Liverpool Lou
    B0llocks. Who is the "they" that you are accusing of "usually conning" foreigners?
  22. Liverpool Lou
    Call them again to speak to a different call centre rep, quoting the email, and ask them for specific requirements and tell them specifically what documents you have and what you do not have.
  23. Liverpool Lou
    Funds in dormant accounts are remitted to the Bank of Thailand under an arrangement with all Thai banks. On production of suitable proof of identity/account ownership any held funds will be returned to the account holder by the BoT.
  24. Liverpool Lou
    What makes you think that he'll be deported and have to go anywhere?
  25. Liverpool Lou
    Jesus Christ...take a breath. "...why don’t they go after the guy who set the whole thing up..." It has been reported in other cases that the lawyers involved in the incorporation of raided nominee companies are being investigated also.
