OP.....if you do a search Zehner started a thread a few years ago in the practicalities I think, about what each bank generally requires you to have to get a credit card....FYI

OP - if you open an account in Siam Commercial Bank in Rayong, well, you'll get....oh, never mind.

^ You'll get a non-credit card as per most other SCB branches if you ain't earning 100K a month

With a WP (generally).

Not to be sniffed at, an orange. No. That's all me old grandad used to get for Christmas, y'know?

Nowadays? Well, nowadays, they're giving 'em away.

At banks.

In Rayong.

KK,

I use a non credit card (debit card with the pretty visa logo) from Bangkok Bank to make all my online purchases. It's never been a problem and I've bought everything from books from Amazon.com to the hosting/software stuff for the forum.

The thing to keep in mind though, is you have to ask for a special "internet banking" card. The regular non credit looking credit card won't do it for you.

^ Yeah my mate has one of them.....I use my Mum's now...it's FREE

Does your Mum know?

**kenkannif** · 19th February 2010 12:18

Most of them time...other times I get e-mails like this:

it's not much but as you're doing your best to bankrupt me it's all I can manage at the moment!

Luv ya Mumsy

the last time I asked about this in SCB they told me this

Either you have 60k + salary a month and you can prove that with slips or a letter or you just deposit 60k into a bank account for six months straight and then pull it out once you get the card.

This was in the Bangsue area of Bangkok.
