You really don´t like carrying your passport???

 

No, I really don't, and never do, except when taking a flight or visiting Immigration.

Silly exaggeration. I can take money out over the counter w/ bankbook and pink card at my bank. Much more convenient, passports stays safely at home.

We're not all blessed with a pink card.

Mine didn't fall out of a tree, either. I made it happen.

If you only use it for that, then you will have a pink id card as well.

Yup. A Thai DL can be used in some cases, like for depositing cash OTC per the OP, and at the PO.

 

ID requirements for bank deposits have been around a while and discusses previously on the forum. Nothing really new here.

True, and no, there is nothing new. My original post was just referring to people that complain over the need to carry passport. If you are in a foreign country, you just have to accept the need for it doing certain things if you not have another optional card to use. 🙂

This is for comparison purposes, just recently I opened up a bank account with ABA in Cambodia (a few weeks ago), they wanted to see the passport and long term visa which I have.

They asked me to write my address down on a piece of paper which I did - that was good enough for them.

A machine then 'printed' off an ATM Visa debit card for me which I used at the separate deposit machine to deposit $1500 in cash which I had just withdrawn in the same bank from a Thai account.

 

No problems, simple and easy. The guy said I can alter the address on the app myself to make it more accurate if I want but don't do it until the next day as their system updates overnight or something along those lines.

 

Thailand is going to drown in red tape if it continues along this road.

 

Dasa used bookstore requires picture ID if you want to sell them your second hand paperback.

Thailand is very serious about money laundering. 

Now, if your friend donates you a handful of  Rolexes, that's a different story.
