Is this id card thing they request really about an adress that displays an adress on it? I still dont get it i mean most id cards dont have it including my country Or is it something else related like they want to follow same rule as thai people, cause they mostly use id cards to proceed with things and all office wont accept a thai passport for example. Honestly i dont understand why they make it so complicated, i mean if a person who really want to launder money will just use a thai person and pay him like 5k to open a bank for them.. Its not difficult at all honestly.. My thought is they do it on purpose and in very tourist areas like pattaya they will all come up with some excuse, to make them use agencies which they all work with together, to get them their cut.. I mean nothing suprises me anymore. I even needed to pay a 3000 baht envelope bribe to goverment office to get my certificate day i got married..
