Me neither Steve, traveled in country 2 or 3 times a year. Only time I do one is if we go to Vietnam. Never had any issues. AT CW Bangkok. I understood this was now the case if you are staying in country and returning to your home address?
How things change! Different times now. 7 years ago I Went to K Bank with my (then) girl friend, on my 30 day visa and Passport, . Account opened in about 30 minutes. Been married 5 years now same a/c and same wife!
