isn't bangkok sinking?

In preparation for Direct Deposit of US Veterans benifits e went to our bank here in khon kaen where we have 4 accts to open a new one for the DD only to find that the bank was no longer accepting new accts from AMERICANS, ** Have you heard of this from other Vets here in Thailand. The bank officer was unsure if this was an all Thai banks policy, said that she heard that there were some banks in Bangkok still taking new accts. Also I assume the DD can't go into a Joint acct for obvious reasons. How much else can go wrong? I have certainly had a year of it. We'll be checking with other banks but it doesn't seem hopeful, we didn't aask whenthis ce in effectbut it seemed the officer was quite familiar with the policy this was at TTB bank
