A friend of mine does not have the money but am agency arranges his extension every year. For a fee of course. 

 

Okay, and how is that relevant to this particular topic?

foolish and irresponsible for long stayers to use that method for funding their lifestyle in Thailand.

 

Foolish, maybe because it is an expensive way of doing it.

 

Irresponsible, please explain that one.

I know a few foreigners who reside in Thailand and who neither want nor need a Thai bank account. I think that's fine and it's ridiculous to criticize their personal choice. They all have means and ways to access funds when needed, and it really isn't rocket science.

 

Would I want to do it, personally? No, I like the convenience of QR code payments, free cardless ATM withdrawals and debit cards in the local currency for hotel bookings etc. All that requires having a Thai bank account.

 

But that's the thing, anyone who lives here and wants any of that can and will open a Thai bank account. Without being told by strangers on the internet that they need one.
