TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters is that a Bangkok Bank account located in New York does not qualify as a Thai bank account. All responses indicate that one needs a bank account within Thailand to meet various official requirements.

I tried this with Bangkok bank in London , they said No. ( USA may be different mind )

I didn't think that Bangkok Bank in the US provided standard bank accounts? Regardless it has to be an account in Thailand.

I transfer money free to Bangkok bank in New York, but I use my account number here and it’s automatically in my account but I’m guessing you need a bank account number from here
