Yes, i was on o2 too. Now got Lebara Sim, £1.99 or 6 months and then £8 a month. It's on Vodafone network

I don't like calling people... 🙂 Thanks though

That's great thanks, I'm in the uk at the moment before i head back to Thailand in September. I'm moving from O2 to a much cheaper deal on Vodafone network...

Hi all Could anyone let me know if they have a UK Vodafone sim and whether they are able to receive SMS messages? I have O2 and it works fine, wondering if it's the same for Vodafone sims Thanks

After a 10 minute wait, KBank at Exchange Tower Asoke set up my account in about 20 minutes. I provided my lease contract, passport with 1 year visa, and TM30. All good, now I'll let my main account just sit there... 🙂 Thanks everyone for all the guidance... 👍

At the exchange square asoke kbank now, tiny too and crazy busy lol

Fyi i they gave me this at the KBank branch

Oh yeah you're right, i hate that branch at emquartier. I stay at Asoke, so tomorrow I'll wander down Sukumvit tomorrow. I recall seeing at least one branch somewhere down there

Emquartier bangkok branch... I might just wait the 6 days

Just tried to open a kbank account, have to wait 6 days for an appointment. Shall i wait or go for scb or Bangkok bank... 🙂

Cool, thanks for your help

CW Krungsri was empty when i went for my paperwork... It was 10am though, maybe after the rush..

I wonder if any others will consolidate their branches with others.... Might be a trend

I plan to open 2nd account for day to day use , my main original account will keep the 800k all year untouched..

Thanks... Closing permanently?

My main account with krungsri that currently holds the 800k won't change. It's unlikely I'll even move the 400k after 3 months.

Just to be clear, when i get my next 1 year extension I'll just need the main (800k) account evidence ? Thanks

Yeah i was planning to set up one at Kasikorn (K-Bank) My main account at Krungsri has a pretty good service

Hi all I have my 1 year extension already. I'm now thinking about my next extension in a ~years time, and the proof I'll need of my bank account status . In one years time i can imagine the amount of transactions that will occur in my account will be huge, and will create a lot of paperwork etc. I'm thinking of opening another (2nd) bank account, that i can use for my day to day transactions. So that when i reapply for extension, my main account with the 800,000 baht only has a few transactions making reproducing the statements easy. Main account is Krungsri, I'm thinking my 2nd will be K-Bank Is this a good idea? Any issues? Thanks

That's great thanks, yeah i was handed those when i got to CW. But as they weren't flagged in my post i incorrectly thought they wouldn't be required... My bad.. Always expect the unexpected.. 🙂

For reference the other forms that are required which haven't been mentioned are :- StM.2, STM.9 and STM.11

The officer explained to me that my first application was missing an official document showing the condo owners name. That was needed so that it could be cross checked against the owners ID shown in the lease agreement. It kind of makes sense i guess. I presume what you had was also good enough...

There were a couple of forms i wasn't prepared for, i believe they were mentioned in general but no specific numbers were mentioned in this post, and for me that was an issue. TM2 was one and the other I'll add tomorrow. However the real blocker was the information regarding my lease, and specifically the title deed. My lease contract didn't include it, and as a standard i don't know if they do. I've attached the "new"? requirements The officers flatly refused my application until i spoke to my agent and managed to locate the information.

Ok, managed to get it done, wasn't that straight forward for me at least... I'll update on what i missed soon. Thanks for all your help...

I've just done some research and it appears that i should be ok, as the imo will have my details for the tdac ref. Or i should be able to retrieve them at the immigration office...
