I am an expatriate working here in Thailand and receive my salary in another bank.
I opened an account with Krungsri Bank for personal use and have conducted a few transactions, sending and receiving money with my Thai friends.
Recently, I was informed by the bank that, as a foreigner, I am not allowed to receive money from sources other than my salary. This restriction has been quite surprising and inconvenient for me.
In comparison, I have previously worked in Singapore, where the banking system is much more accommodating and foreigner-friendly.
Unfortunately, this recent experience has made me feel that Thailand is becoming increasingly challenging for foreigners in terms of financial transactions.
I hope the bank will reconsider or clarify this policy to ensure a smoother experience for expatriates who contribute to the economy here.
