NoshowJones Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 When I go to open a bank account, should I dress the way I did when I was a school teacher, or is it OK just to dress casually. that's a long sleeved top and long casual trousers?

richard_smith237 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 You're opening a bank account, not attending an interview... That said, there are appropriate levels of dress for any activity... over-dressing is never an issue, under-dressing can be. Don't turn up in Shorts and Vest Top... Jeans / Trousers and Shirt / Polo shirt are fine... In short, wear what you see or would expect to see most respectable people around you wearing. Question: What would you expect to wear when walking into open a Bank Account in your Capital City back home ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mrs tells me, what ever a farang does, what ever he is doing, Thai folk are scanning everything. They expect you to be the perfect example of humanity. I can go with that cos Thais have said to me ''you are very smart''. I THINK, they didn't have to say that but they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalangBaa Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Best to go in drag, preferably with 6-inch stiletto heels, a skintight gold lamé dress and an off-the-shoulder feather boa with sequins on it. Then they'll know you're here for the ladyboys and will feel confident opening an account for you, knowing you're here for the long haul and will likely be transferring a lot of money from your home country.

Kathy2014 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Dress like you are in summertime in your country. Casual, but clean, plus little polite shining, surely work well. Farang looks really good when they dress like at home.....thai try to copy with funny too much, sometimes I think some thai guy try to copy western dress and looks like Charlie Chaplin...
