  1. That has been the only reason that I stayed with them. I closed my account with SCB after over 10 years with them because they stopped banking via PC. I took that money Kurnsri (yellow bank) because they accommodate me very well with online PC banking. I like to have at least 1 account with 2 banks . . . just in case.
  2. I guess I haven't had any problems because I don't touch the money in the two Thai bank accounts that I use for my visa. When I bring money into the country, I also don't deposit it in the bank or use bank wires. This way I don't have to worry about dealing with a withdrawal limit. I have made "special arrangements." But this request for an address in your home country is ridiculous. I don't live in my home country. I live in Thailand. LOL I've been with BKK Bank for over a decade, but I don't think I want to play around with this nonsense and take the risk. At the end of this year, if things haven't improved, I will search for a new bank that allows online banking from the PC at home.
  3. Thank you! I've been banking with Bangkok Bank for over 15 years, but the recent horror stories of them freezing accounts of foreigners for months when they get an immigration letter and statement for visa renewal has me spooked.
  4. Other than Bangkok Bank and Krungsri Bank, are there any other banks that still allow online banking at home through a PC? I know SCB doesn't. That's why I closed my account there over a year ago after banking with them for over 15 years.
  5. Thanks for the link. It didn't say much, but what's there is not of any concern for me. I reached the level of critical mass 15 years ago.
  6. What are the "Private Banking benefits"? I have seen no change in my account since migrating to Biz Online.
  7. Go to your branch and tell them you want to migrate to Biz Online. They'll set you up. A friend who was using the app wanted to migrate. Went to the branch. He used his account number and the temp password they gave him to log in, and then changed his user name and password to ones that he wanted. Nothing to it.
  8. Krungsri Bank is doing a fantastic job of migrating their customers into Biz Online who want to continue doing their banking from their PC. Within about 5 minutes after sending them an email requesting a temporary password for me and my wife, the phone rang. Very helpful bank representative walked us through the process over the phone. DONE. IN. Hat Tip to Krungsri Bank. I closed my account with SCB two years ago because they could not accommodate me doing my banking from home on the PC. Thank you, Krungsri Bank!
  9. I've read about the Krungsri Bank allowing this migration, but I can't find any information on HOW to do it. I HATE using my phone for banking business. I do it all from my PC. SCB did NOT give me an alternative to migrate to their online Biz accounts. That's why I closed my account at SCB a couple of years ago and went to Krunsri. If you find out HOW to migrate to Krungsri Biz, please post it. Thanks.
  10. Everyone with critical thinking skills understood THAT unintended consequence.
  11. After watching things play out in an unserious way over several months, consulting an attorney and looking at my deductions, I stopped sweating any of this taxation in January 2025. But this good news certainly reinforces all of my thinking on this issue. Thanks for the heads up.
  12. The Treaty of Amity states that Americans are to be treated as Thai Nationals. American pensions are not to be taxed just as the pensions of Thai Nationals are not taxed. Which attorney advised you?
  13. According to the attorney, the Treaty of Amity, which only applies to Americans. According to the Treaty, Americans are to be treated in the same way as Thai Nationals. Pensions are not taxed.
