Going into SURIN immigration for one year O Visa temporary extension next week.
Talked to BBK bank Robinsons last week, the lady manager was amenable, will fix me up with the necessary documents to take to immigration for marriage visa based on 12 consecutive bank deposits from SSA.
I was considering Kbank or KTB, any input, recommendations would be helpful if someone has input positive or negative.
I was going to change banks because of some previous BS, I don't like the way they take a random small charges out of your account.
The good response I received from the manager BBK bank Robinson's put a + in their favor.

US SSA payments into a Thailand bank.
You need to go to your local Bangkok Bank branch and request a "BAHTNET credit" receipt (or foreign exchange transaction receipt - FET) for each monthly deposit you make as proof of payment.
Regarding those BAHTNET money transfer transactions, the bank's internal system clearly shows that when Bangkok Bank retrieved international transaction data from the backend system, the funds originated from the U.S. Treasury Department/Social Security Office via a New York-based remittance channel.
The bank will print transaction tracking documents that clearly prove to immigration that the BAHTNET code on your account statement is merely a domestic delivery mechanism for international deposits.
2. Prepare the necessary documents.
When you submit your application at your local immigration office, don't just hand in your identification booklet or general explanatory documents. Make sure to have all the necessary documents ready:
Bank statement from Bangkok Bank: A recent bank statement issued by the bank, stating the recipient as an immigration officer (usually requested 1-2 days before the appointment).
Bank statements and passbook: Transaction records for the past 12 months show that BAHTNET deposits have been consistently credited to the account every month.
Credit Statement: Your monthly printed document matching each BAHTNET transaction to its international origin.
A letter confirming eligibility for welfare benefits from the U.S. Social Security Office (SSA): This is a PDF document downloaded and printed from your online "my Social Security" account that officially states your monthly welfare amount. Although the U.S. embassy no longer recognizes income letters, immigration agencies still expect to see this official U.S. welfare eligibility document to compare with the amount you are entitled to.
