Can’t anymore. My partner’s bank that has money in it closed and this was his bank account for 8 years🙁 I also don't see why people are laughing with this post just to be rude.

But this was long time ago and we stayed in different countries so there was no activity with his account. But check the updated bank’s terms & condition

Some weeks ago it was a crackdown because the new banking registration. So basically now it's impossible to open a thai bank account with DTV. Also agents can't open.
Sempre pots usar wise o compres bancaris que no siguin thai per pagar.

T'escric en català veient que ets d'allà que m'és més fàcil. Bàsicament hi havia xarxes de scammers, que usaven comptes bancaris per fer-los servir de mulas. Bangkok Bank va ser el més afectat i van tancar mils de comptes bancaris. Tot estranger amb compte a Bangkok Bank que no tingués un visat de llarga duració i que no fos de tipus turista, els van tancar el compte.També han posat límits en les quantitats que pots moure etc..
Fins i tot visats com Thailand Privilege estan tenint problemes per obrir comptes tot i que en teoria s'oferien amb aquest servei des dle propi visat.
També ha passat similar amb les SIM's de telèfon. Bàsicament estant intentant netejar tot això.

My property agent opens accounts at TTB in Chiang Mai but I do not think she can for DTV - I will ask her which branch she usesLuis **********

How can he ask if you are not giving the location? What documents did you have to show. This group is about helping others - give it a try.

Only 20 something posts in the last 30 days about this and all of the difficulty and account closures, and not even agents can help.
And there’s also inconsistent, unverifiable information, and it doesn’t bother me that the posts are anonymous. Do y’all think this is my name?
But at least there’s a label to my questions and answers. Give people the same courtesy.

Basically you can't. DTV is a tourist visa hence banking regulations in Thailand doesn't permit this
