if he has done nothing illegal he most likely needs to set up Face ID , update book , Tax ID and maybe verify the ownership of the mobile number he uses for online banking.

Face ID=yes,  Bank Book=yes,  Verify Mobile nbr=yes,  Passport=yes,  Tax ID not required. 

And possibly Residence letter from IO and address verification documents

BBL is the symbol for Bangkok Bank Limited on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). It is akin to using MSFT for Microsoft Corporation. Stock symbols, aka ticker symbols, are best avoided outside stock investment forums.

And they want foreign investment  here anyone investing here should have a big think about it

 

The  procedures will not negatively impact legitimate foreign investment. How would it? What it will do is  answer the international pressures to  combat money laundering and tax evasion.

i had to give my german Tax ID (steuer-ID) when i opened my bank account with Bangkok Bank last year.

yes residence letter but only when opening the bank account needed i guess.

 

Tax ID and thai driving licence was  a must otherwise no bank account, they were very serious and strict.
