Cashing a cheque

[t1ggyw1ggy10]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can advise me.

I recently took out medical insurance with a Thai company on a recommendation .and paid the yearly subscription in cash in advance .but after a couple of weeks I have been told that the insurance cannot go ahead because I have not been in the country long enough .So they have sent me a cheque back . I do not have or need a Thai bank account and wonder if anyone knows if any bank will cash the cheque for me .

Thanks

No harm in opening a bank account. If fact I would say that if you so intended on staying for the amount of time that taking insurance out suggests, then a Thai bank account will come in useful for a number of reasons during your extended stay.

You'll need an account to deposit a foreign check, it costs 150 baht and takes 3 weeks to clear. Local currency checks cost nothing and take 3 days.

I understand that this is not a foreign cheque but a Thai one. In that case you should be able to endorse it to someone with a bank account and they could cash it for you. I've done this a couple of times for someone else and had no problems.

you could take it in the bank its issued from and they will pay you the cash ,i have done this a few times with no problem ,but it was a few years ago , worth a try
