I went to Bangkok Bank today to open a new fixed account and they decided they couldn't do it without a tax ID number.  New banking regulation, she said.  Luckily I had a picture on my phone of the card which I got about 15 years ago.

 

However the computer wouldn't accept it because it only had 9 digits.

 

I guess I have to go somewhere to get a new one.  I remember I first got this one at an office on Radjamnoern Road in Bangkok.  I don't think it is there anymore.  Where do I need to go now?  

 

Curious, anyone else have this problem?  

 

Thanks.

Revenue office can issue a 13 digit Tax ID number. Offices can be found here www.rd.go.th/publish/38258.0.htm. Bring passport and tell them you need the ID for banking.
