No HSBC bank in HH to my knowledge

I bank with HSBC offshore and tranfer funds to Bangkok bank in HH. So far, no problems

HSBC is in Bangkok. Just wondering if it is classed as Thai bank for visa purposes if account in in Bangkok or whether money has to be in a Thai based bank. Thailand - I also have HSBC in UK and could transfer money free this way

What sort of visa are you talking about? If it is a non immigrant 'O' based on marriage to a Thai then there is now no requirement for money to be in a Thai bank; however, in typically inconsistent Thai immigration rules, I believe that a retirement visa does require the money to be in a Thai bank. I would imagine HSBC is classified as a Thai bank, as long as you get statements showing Thai baht in your account.
