ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
It is possible to open a joint bank account in Thailand, especially if one party is Thai. Several users have shared their experiences regarding joint accounts, noting that while it may be difficult for some expats to open an account independently, there are options available when applying with a Thai national. However, some banks may not allow joint accounts or might require the Thai partner to be the primary account holder. It's suggested to inquire specifically at banks like Bangkok Bank, which has been noted to accommodate foreign customers more readily. Overall, it can be beneficial to open a joint account but proceed with caution regarding access and control of funds.
