Maybe worth seeing if a branch in LondonIf ya do ring Thailand be aware it’s expensive. We had to change a flight we’d booked with NOK AIR after it was cancelled last year n rang them.
Mrs was on 10 mins n the bill was £40.
It’s not so easy dealing with Thai banks mate esp the language barrierAs diggers posted - ring the bank if you can get the details and ask who deals with such matters and an email address.
You may well have to email your ID etc to them otherwise anyone could do it (btw I got a scanner if need your passport n stuff scanned so can email them)
Bank itself would be first step though I think
Yeah I had a 700 quid bill when I originally went over to sort all this outIf ya do ring Thailand be aware it’s expensive. We had to change a flight we’d booked with NOK AIR after it was cancelled last year n rang them.

Can you not just email the bank and use google translate to put your query into Thai also ? Getting the email address be first hurdle thoughIt’s not so easy dealing with Thai banks mate esp the language barrier

I have a Thai court order i just need to double check I have everything I have already been through the court process to gain probate have passports will etcSee how far you get dealing with the bank directly.
You may need to get documents such as ID notarised.
If becoming stuck or don’t want the hassle there are companies who will help you for a fee.
It’s full of my inheritanceJust leave it open?
Good idea i can ring Bangkok bank in London they may help I’m shot scored of flying out and not having something I needdo they not have U.K. branch
Can’t access it don’t have passwords ect and that’s stealingI used to live in Thailand (2008 to 2011) and used to bank with KasikornBank. They were excellent to deal with and had online banking back then.
I’m not sure I bothered closing my account. I think I just transferred everything except a few quid to my UK account.
Can you go onto online banking, transfer the money out and forget about it?
The lawyer can’t do it you have to go into the exact branch in person with the court order and death certificate by the law.I just want tot check i have everything before I go as every bank is different !! And don’t know if I need documents notorising they are very vague and I’m worried they move the goal posts when I arrive. One of the banks the bank book is missing but have all the account numbers on the will etc but apprently they are a Nighmare with the missing books they make you report it to police then come to branch with police report before they issue a new book and I’m only going to be there 4 daysUse SKype to call Thailand, much cheaper. I call the UK from China using it and it so cheap, amazing.
I think you're going to have to get a Thai law firm involved. Is it literally to close an account in a relatives name? Be tricky without a lawyer I think.
Best of luck though
aye, wouldn't suprise me if they try to stall and make it difficult. It's better to have Thai's dealing with Thai's. we're just ATM's to them.The lawyer can’t do it you have to go into the exact branch in person with the court order and death certificate by the law.I just want tot check i have everything before I go as every bank is different !!
