Another epic fail of KYC in Thailand.

After the bank last time that blocked my account when I was abroad, today was my BTS card.

So, I couldn't use the metro... Because I didn't have my passport 🤦‍♂️

Of course, the employee couldn't do anything, because it's "company policy" right - she didn't even accept my driver license to complete KYC.

Once again, without any prior communication, I get blocked. Any funds on my transportation card are frozen.

I need to go to the office with my passport to unblock it...

I'm pretty sure it's only for foreigners, as they required my passport.

We need to do something against these stupid policies... That's revolting.

In the end, I used cash and bought a ticket. So, I traveled anyway, without KYC 🤷‍♂️

Make it make sense.

It seems to me they are testing and measuring for future updates and control grids. They inconvenience the expats as its smaller amount and they will learn the pushback and complaints for later control grids they will apply.

Yeah, as they're doing in the US, it seems. I wonder if they get the feedback, though.

My bank obviously didn't care one bit.

I haven't been to the office to get my money back, yet. But I'd love to give some feedback...
