Thanks to everyone who helped yesterday regarding information on how to open a Thai current bank account.

In line with advice I’ll try and use an agent.

Does anyone know an agent based in or around Udon Thani.

Thank you.

I have a bank account in Thailand myself.

Recently I saw a new product released from Kasikorn Bank called “Pay&Tour”. Seems like a good product for short term guests. local debit card + atm access + scan app.

"Accounts are not allowed to be opened for holders of tourist visa or other types of visa intended to travel in Thailand, such as Visa on Arrival, Free Visa, etc."

I can’t find any reference to immigration status requirements in the terms of service. Where are you reading that?

Then there is only one possibility: An agent.

Best chances for finding an agent at reasonable cost: Pattaya.

You will have a hard time finding one in Isan who doesn’t charge the skin off your face.
