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. Several users have pointed out that to meet requirements, the bank account must be based in Thailand, as accounts in branches outside the country are not considered Thai bank accounts.

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
