I wouldn't put money in a Bangkok Bank account for retirement extension when it takes a week to get a 12-month statement from the bank.  Other banks can give you the 12-month bank account statement on the spot, for example, SCB, etc.

Maybe it is slow getting a yearly statement, but in ALL other respects, I find BKK bank excellent, over 6years

You are writing about a different matter. Letter confirming account owner, account type and current balance ("bank letter").

But the other poster has to do the monthly transfer > 65k from abroad and needs a statement of transactions for the whole year to proof his transfers 

You are correctly pointing out the two different requirements..

You state that you need one week... amazing, but perhaps you want to share what city and branch?

I have since years a BKB 800k fixed deposit for retirement extensions, it takes no longer than 5 minutes to get the letter duly stamped, Immigration always happy with it. Chiang Mai.

Agree on the letter but some IO's require a 12 month statement that does take about one week to receive from their head office.

The Bangkok Bank main bank on Silom requires 3 to 5 business days for a 12 month statement.
