Thailand’s oldest bank crushed the soul of a wide-eyed little girl hoping to become its youngest customer last week.
Facebook user “Lovemom Love Crochet” shared a photo of seven large bags filled with coins she said were saved by her 5-year-old daughter and rejected by the oldest bank in Thailand, which wouldn’t take her deposit.
After mom and dad helped the little girl count the coins from several piggy banks, they drove to Siam Commercial Bank at a Big C shopping mall in Chiang Mai, but the employees insisted they could not accept coins
According to the user, the bank’s excuse was that “the safe is full,” and they were told to deposit the coins at a nearby Bangkok Bank.
“Why didn’t they take my money?” the little girl asked her mom in a heart-melting moment.
to which the mother could only respond, “The staff are busy right now, honey”
The user added she wasn’t embarrassed by the rejection but feels sorry for her daughter who wants to have her first bank book.
