The main concern of the poster is about opening a bank account in Bangkok while holding a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV). Comments indicate that banks generally do not prefer opening accounts for tourists. However, there are reports of specific branches, like TTB, starting to accept DTVs for account openings under certain conditions. Alternatively, community members suggest hiring an agent to facilitate the process for a fee, which has been a common workaround.
