khunkarl Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Was lucky enough to win 8,000 baht on Thai lotto last month. But when I went to my bank to cash the winnings they informed me that only Thai nationals can cash out. "Maybe you can ask our wife?" Sure can and I did but why the discrimination? Anyone? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem there is you have to be a resident, if you have retained your residency, i.e. live here and there for less than 183 days a year, your good to go, over the 183 day rule and expect a court battle. Most countries want you to be a resident when buying a lottery in that country. I know about Australia because it won't allow me to access buying a ticket when I use Google as it takes my location and say nope, but when I use a different browser that shows Australia as my location it allows me to buy, and if I ever did win, I would say squat about where I live, would be on the next flight back to collect, but my first option would be to have my duaghter who lives there collect it as if it's here ticket, while I am on my way, too easy ????

balo Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I cashed out 4000 baht from the local lottery vendor in Pattaya. No questions asked. Shouldnt be a problem with 8000 baht. If you win the main prize , you need a bank account in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, talking of simple..........you think it's because of xenophobia and because they want to be the master race. And you have a very strong conviction of this and would even post about it with an exclamation mark! But you are too simple to actually look in to it or even just read some replies otherwise you would have found out that foreigners can indeed collect lottery winnings. In many other counties (like the UK) you have to be a resident to play, but not Thailand. I am sure you will be along any minute now to admit your mistake. Or more likely you are bouncing around in other threads slagging off the Thais based on your own misconceptions and prejudice. Buzz me if you return.

By resident, I assume you're saying you actually have to be in the UK to play. You can play whilst visiting, my wife certainly has played as a visitor, won and received her winnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
