You maintained sufficient funds in account to pay card fees and inactivity charges?  Sorry can not be of help resolving.

Yes there were funds in the account to cover this

Hi All,

I hope someone could please advise me.

I have / had a bank account with Siam Bank (opened in Baan Kakun) which I opened in 2008. I travel to Thailand about twice a year and since I stopped working in Thailand I have maintained this account. The last time used was November , 2019. I was issued with a new ATM card and also passbook. Usually I transfer money from Australia to top up this account. But last year and this year have not travelled there. 

This week I transferred funds which were returned. My ATM card is also inactive. 

Obviously Siam Bank consider this a dormant account since its lack of activity. 

Questions:

* Can this account be activated and do I have to be there for this to happen ?

I have emailed Siam Bank and hopefully will receive an answer. 

Have any members of this forum had this problem and if so how was it resolved.  I have a Thai colleague in Chiang Mai who is also going to visit Siam Bank but because it isn't his account they may not be able to help.

Many Thanks in Advance
