Are there any good Credit Unions to join in Thailand? Would like to step away from banks where possible.

Does anyone here have a partner or know someone with a credit union. I.e Thai national and any they recommend?
Summary so far
The inquiry about credit unions in Thailand reveals a lack of options for expats, as there are no established credit unions accessible to foreigners. It seems that credit unions in Thailand are reserved primarily for specific groups, such as Thai nationals working in government sectors.
