Another five year bonanza for lawyers; at the end of which all high-ups will be cleared of any wrongdoing and a couple of Somchais thrown in the clink for a month.
They use deposits to generate income through interest. If Thailand is a supposed superpower in IT it doesn't cost any more to withdraw cash in your home town as it does in a far-off city.
I had mine installed by a local company. Two weeks later I ran low on gas; the 'engineer' had failed to tighten things up & it was leaking gas every day. No refund so I changed company. How to build clientele - Thai style.
They are the most hated and feared institution in Thailand; the laziest and most inept; responsible for possibly thousands of deaths a year for their collective failure on the roads.
Agreed. When I first moved here I got 73 & managed to spend all of it every month. Now austerity has set in + my UK pension is the same as it was 15 years ago.
Don't they charge you for taking it out if you're outside the banks' area? My Bangkok Bank's account is based in Pattaya & I am sure I got dinged for a withdrawal in Bangkok.
