Are you a foreigner in Thailand worried about your bank account? There's a lot of fear out there about banks closing accounts, especially for tourists and those on certain visas. I've been hearing the rumors and decided to go straight to the source to find out the truth!
I went to my Bangkok Bank branch to solve an issue with my mobile banking app, and it turned into a deep dive into the security and paperwork involved. Is my account about to be shut down because of my visa status? The answer might surprise you!
In this video, I'll share:
The real reason my banking app stopped working and why a simple fix required a mountain of paperwork.
Why banks are tightening security and how it's affecting foreigners.
The answer to the burning question: Is your Thai bank account safe if you're a tourist or on a non-immigrant visa?
Why the online rumors and forums might be a bit overblown.
Join me as I bust some myths, get peace of mind about my own finances, and share what I learned about the Thai banking system. If you have a Bangkok Bank account, or any bank account in Thailand, you won't want to miss this!

![Lucille Finally Gave Up… 1 Hour From the End [Thailand]
The final leg of my northern Thailand motorcycle road trip takes a dramatic turn as I ride from Chiang Rai back to Chiang Mai through heavy rain, mountain roads, and miserable conditions. Taking the longer Phayao route to avoid roadworks, I’m eventually faced with a serious problem—my bike, Lucille, starts overheating in the middle of nowhere.
With 60+ km still to go, I crawl along the hard shoulder, hoping the engine survives. Thankfully, I make it back to Chiang Mai, where a local mechanic replaces the damaged cooling and other parts. After a second repair for a rear-wheel issue, Lucille is finally running like new.
This Thailand motorcycle adventure ends with a mix of relief, lessons learned, and a big question: is it time for Lucille to retire from long-distance road trips?
Join me for rainy-season riding, mountain roads, bike trouble, and the final chapter of this northern Thailand adventure.
