Best Bank Form Interest /gifts

[yaimar]

Hi all with the rise of the baht and the fact we have to keep,

large sums of money in a bank, to live here. I have had a large sum

sat doing nothing for nine years by and large, was thinking of changing banks

can any member suggest what might be an option, even if its a new hat

I am with the Bangkok bank and am happy with their service but thought /

i bet some of the thai visa people will know a better way yaimar

Over the years Bangkok Bank has probably become the expats least favouite bank.

That aside, they all pay much the same intrestwise.

Naka.

Had an account 12 years ago with bangkok bank. Counter service terrible. About 5 years ago opened account with Thai Farmers (now Kasikorn). Much better service. 3 years ago opened account with Siam Commercial and found their service very good, and very friendly. Recommend SCB very highly.

I agree with Living in Kata. I got rid of my account with Bangkok bank as they were just too rude for my tastes.

They are the no. 1 bank in Thailand and i guess that means they don't have to try.

I switched to Kasikorn bank which is a pleasant change.

My wife has an account with SCB and they are very nice also. And they seem to have more new branches.

Bangkok bank is a long drive from Rawai.
