I've got a DBS Thai Danu Bank Account in Pattaya opened it up in about 30 mins.. last year... most of the time was taken up by signing hundreds of forms... but no probs.... had my money wired to my acc from the uk... no hassles for the 8 months I was there... now when I visit I foolishly take cash with me enough for my whole trip and drop it into the bank as soon as the opportunity arises.... think I might change my ways and transfer it before I fly..... the sort of money I usually bring over would pay a 18 y/o b/g to never have to work ever again in her natural... (slightly exagerated)
