it's the way ofthe world, not thailand's fault. thailand has been behind the banking security curve and is starting to catch up. 

 

if you really desire to live in a country with dodgy banking security go elsewhere...

I have a ligit account and no banking problems, for years

Why can't this be in the banking app?

 

Surely the bank can code the simple test of whether or not the account has had the requisite amount of money within it and at all of the right times.

 

So let us use our banking apps to request one of those receipt things and then send it to immigration, or in the alternative, an agent, who we can then pay to do the paperwork and so forth.

 

No need for the trip to the bank.  Think of all of the time and aggravation saved.

 

I want this, and that's as good a reason as any to do it.

Hi all, has there been any change on this ? is it still going to be hard to open a Thai bank account ?

There are no signs that opening bank accounts are getting easier.
