Kasikorn bank (formerly known as Thai Farmers bank) is the only foreigner friendly bank in LOS. it is similar in thailand to what POSB is in Singapore. a bank for the masses.
To open an account with the KB, you need a minimum deposit of 500baht + a one time admin fee of 700baht. You also need to have a photo ID and proof of address. can use your address in Singapore.
Go to the KB with all the required documents and say you want to open a foreigners savings account. actually that is the only type of account you are allowed to have with them. give them the deposit and admin fee and ask for an ATM card for your account. at the same time you can ask them to link the online banking to your account (but a bit tricky here because the password will be mailed to your address and valid for xx number of days only so if you are not back home in time when the password arrives you cannot login in).
The bank will set up your account on the spot and you key in your ATM card password immediately. all finish within 20mins. after you get your ATM card you can deposit your spare cash using the CDM.
As far as I know, KB is the only bank that allows foreigners to open accounts without needing residency requirements or employment in thailand proof.
Hepful and informative post. Thanks. Confirmed by some others that KB allow foreigners to open http://www.bangkok-addicts.com/forum...-bank-account/ Will open an acc one of these days cos I don't like bringing foreign currency in and usually withdraw by ATM. But in past few years ATM charges for overseas ATM card works out to be about 500b per withdrawal

In the first place, Agoda dun offer a cheap price for hotels in HY. In fact it is dam expensive agoda quote hotels in HY (I duno why also). Walk in price is more cheaper than agoda, let alone the voucher purchase from agency. Tats y Bro Tim additional 5% discount can't be any cheaper. Tim's lobang is more based on Bangkok and Chiang Mai/Rai which his 5% do helps by booking thru agoda.
I found several nice and new hotels around Hatyai. The rates are not the issue here but the problem is the hotel dun provide safe deposit box. Is it advisable to stay there if I decide to book and bring the girl for overnight and put my cash inside the room?
If u brought a gal back from farm or massage parlour, rest assure that it is very safe for ur cash and valuable things even there is no safe box. Why? Very simple, the reason is these gals from farm or MP there are there to earn a decent living and u can easily trace them down. But if u pick those FL from disco then i wont guarantee that. In short, once the gals are traceable, dun worry too much and im sure u wont bring few thousands of $ just for a few days stay in HY right?
Just reach Danok at 7am (GMT +7) after a 13 hour coach ride from Johor Bahru Larkin Bus Terminal. Hahaha.
06/02/13 onwards will be very packed during Chinese New Year period.
Current Damage:
04/02/13: S$100 -> RM241. RM75 Konsortium Bus to Bukit Kayu Hitam. RM7.55 KFC. RM2.50 Bread.
TMT Hotel is very basic with Aircon. Beside McDonald's. Free Wifi. Even has a porn channel!
Going to reece and takeaway when "KFC" Restaurants open at 2pm.
Night activities will be bar and club hopping.
Any bros who wish to cheong together feel free to call (will update after I get a Thai SIM Card), WhatsApp +86 13428462464 or PM me.

As far my experience in Thailand before I only have one bad experience, the gal left after our first round and only return at 6 am the following day. That time was at Betong. As for Hatyai the gal even say bye bye to me on the day I depart. The sex was good. High GFE some more. When I travel I usually bring 'slightly more' just in case for emergency purposes. If I choose to book those high-end gals at SC Heritage I am sure the expenses will be more. Thanks for your advice bro. It does really make sense from your advice.

Bro, I need to ask u something. On my next trip to JB my plane only touched down at Senai Airport @ 8 pm. To go to Larkin Station would need at least 30to 45 min. My question is are there any later time to travel to Hatyai from JB, say 9, 10, 10, 11, 12 AM with Konsortium or other bus company? And how much is the return trip cost from JB to Hatyai by bus? Thanks in advance

I read this file report about SC Heritage taken from 2005 Hatyai Reports, taken from other forum:
My comment on SC
The hotel is quite, or if you belief in supernatural, call it haunted. Their parade room is also the praying room, with very strong burned josstick smell. Once i saw their praying decoration in room, i avoid stepping into the room, just stay on corridoor, look across opposite, those room also similiar with in room praying. Maybe i sound silly if i say, SC is using Small ghost to boost their business. Or in another way, cheongster may feel that, the more expensive the charge is, the more good stuff he get.
5000bt
With 5000bt at bangkok, my fren can get me a model, real model, or unpopular celebrity. Just that i not enuff time travel to bangkok for that. Lets compare the quality of SC and KISS, Kiss have wide range of choice to choose from, and the fees is far cheaper then SC. Others from this 2 pick up place, also can try, Porche, just beside SAKURA hotel, or to more cheaper place, SEE KIM YONG.
Final verdict
5000bt is truely over charged.
My Comment: I'm not so concerned about the 5000 baht fee but I'm quite worried about SC heritage keeping the baby ghost or do some hidden 'black magic' for their selected customers. Can any bros that had visited SC comment on that please...

Have been to SC many times already, dont think that they practice balck magic. Some of the gers hail frm bkk or other place usually not staying more than a few months to solve their financial problems. Got a ger last time which only serves foreigner, excellent manners , good service. 5000 is indeed ex, but indeed refreshing especially when hatyai is so small and all the gers seem so familar
