luvU2much500THB

This is very worrying. I need to open a savings account in Thailand soon and I was opting for the BB.Not now.

I suppose that these accounts that have been targeted are not in Thai names? The names of foreigners .

I would be grateful if posters would indicate which Bank they have not encountered this kind of theft from.

I will open the account in the wifes name ,,we have the same surname though,,which is not Thai.

I've never had a problem at the Siam Commercial Bank and I have a ATM card that I use occasionally. But, I seldom have a lot of cash in that bank... only a few thousand dollars. It's just enough to transfer funds to other Thai banks when I want to help a Thai national. My Canadian bank charges far too much to transfer funds anywhere. Even a simple withdrawl costs me $5 no matter how much I take out. I only get charged 20 baht for using my Thai ATM card transactions.

good heart

OH dam_n, i should`ve bought all that Gold for myself instead of those bargirls in pattaya look at that gold prize eejejejje

I remember i bought 1baht for 6,000THB before.

They sold it anyway when i left the country and bought new motorbike for mama in isaan

But it´s OK my way to donate my hard earned money for poor ppl

I was even so stupid and send some money overseas when i visited thailand for the first time.

But then i learned that 80% of those girls have thai-man and some have a handfull of farangs

sending money.Good for the than-men
