ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion revolves around whether it's feasible to open a Thai bank account through a Thai bank's branch located in the U.S. Participants indicate that branches outside Thailand typically do not offer consumer banking services, focusing instead on investment banking or limited transactions. Several users mention that it might not be possible to use an account from a U.S. branch to seamlessly transition to a Thai account due to differing banking regulations. It's generally agreed that opening a bank account directly in Thailand upon arrival is likely the more effective option.
