TLDR : Answer Summary
First-time visa holders on a DTV visa have had varying experiences opening bank accounts in Thailand. Success often depends on the bank and branch due to differing policies. Some users have suggested that employing an agent can be beneficial, as indicated in comments mentioning the need for an agent's help, especially in specific locations like Pattaya. A specific recommendation made was to use 'TikTok Services' on Facebook for assistance in the process.
