cjinchiangrai Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Just watch the rates and make sure it stays over 800k at the current bank exchange rate. You are playing a bit of a risky game if you do not have excess funds on deposit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yes for years just remember to update on the day of application ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuzie57 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yes have used FC accounts for many years to get my annual extension in Chiang Mai. As mentioned by others that you have to keep up with exchange rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoastBeef Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yes at Lamphun several times. Sometimes have a 'discussion' over the need or not to update it on the day, but accepted eventually without updating the balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahbutif Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yes .but book has to be updated on day of going to immigration. And to update has to put money in.and has to be say £20 if UK account. You cant put in say a 1000 bhat.. they won't do it. I had to go currency exchange to get the £20. And the note had to be perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazmo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Would they not accept a photocopy of my UK bank Statements from my Online Banking? I don’t have a bank book for my UK bank, they are ‘paperless’. I am interested in this method and I appreciated the one who raised this subject and the responses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai bank account in your name only. Funds in Thai baht or equivalent currency. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
