This has been sorted with the help of a lawyer. To the apologists like the one in the post above, i was right. Because TiT doesn't mean Thai banks don't have to follow financial laws. They must keep financial records for 5 years and be able to provide it when requested. Most banks archive these records after 5 years, you know anti-money laundering regulations and all... Never agai nwill we deal with a Thai bank or Thai financial institution. You guys can have it. ????

My wife needs proof that she paid for something a few years ago, so she went to kasikorn bank to request a bank statement from that specific period. The account had been closed a year ago but that shouldn't matter. Clerk: "No hab!" Supervisor: "mai mee!" Manager: "sent to vault, buried very deep, cannot get". Banks are legally obligated to keep all financial records for 10 years, at least in my country! I suppose it's the same in Thailand. What can we do? Get a lawyer involved? This is exactly one of the reasons why we left Thailand, the incompetence, the laziness and bureaucracy when it comes to dealings like this. So frustrating.
