Bangkok Bank ATM Card Paperwork

Posted by Stuart at 01:43 PM on January 10, 2005

My Bangkok adventure this morning consisted of sitting in the Bangkok Bank office for about an hour getting a replacement ATM card and signing up to access my account online. I don't remember the process of doing these things in the US, but it surely can't be as drawn out and involved as it is here. Two pages out of both my passport and work permit were copied twice (I had to sign all four pages); my address was needed on 3 separate sheets of paper; my signature was required at least 10 other times; I left the office with 7 sheets of paper to act as my receipts. Whew!

P.S. As I answered in the comments section of my last post, I am not planning on retiring completely from this site, I just have a feeling that I might be slowing down a bit. I do enjoy writing here, so I am sure I will find some time to do it every now and then...
