Can I open a Thai bank account with an ED visa?
Am I able to get Thai bank account on an Ed Visa?
Answer summary
Yes, you can open a Thai bank account with an ED visa. Most users recommend Bangkok Bank as it is more foreigner-friendly, requiring only a passport and a document proving your address from your school. Other banks may ask for additional paperwork, and policies can vary by branch. It is possible to open an account regardless of your visa type, but you may need to find a branch that accepts your documentation.

Yes you can. Bangkok bank is easy. You need a document to proof your address from your school and passort. I asked another banks and they all asked for work permit.

There is NO banking law in thailand that prohibits a person from opening a bank account on a 30 day visa exempt, a 60 day tourist visa or a Non-Immigrant visa.
Each branch makes up it's own policy. If one denies you walk down the street to another one. You WILL find one that will let you open an account.
Most banks do want proof of residence which you can get from your consulate or from some immigration offices. The Bangkok immigration office will not issue a resident certificate if you are not on an extension that does 90 day reporting.
