Can I open a Bangkok bank account in Pattaya and show the statement from another branch for my visa extension?

The discussion revolves around whether one can open a Bangkok Bank account in Pattaya and subsequently obtain the necessary bank statements from a different branch when applying for a visa extension. It is noted that every bank branch can provide statements for the last six months and that longer periods might need to be requested from headquarters. Participants suggest contacting the bank via email, ensuring enough funds remain in the account, and being mindful of the timing for when to gather the required documents. It's also mentioned that a small transaction may be necessary on the day of the immigration visit.
