TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is seeking assistance from an agent to open a bank account in Bangkok while on a tourist visa, but has been informed that banks typically do not offer this service for tourist visa holders. Several comments suggest alternatives such as contacting agents in Pattaya, which tend to be cheaper, and provide links and recommendations for specific services. There is also a discussion about the necessity of documents like a lease agreement or blue book to open a bank account.

Contact an agent in Pattaya, it is usually a lot cheaper than doing it in Bangkok, you can get the bus from Ekkamai bus station to Pattaya, and the same to go back.

If a person opens a bank account in Pattaya in a big Thai bank (say Bangkok bank which have branches all over the country) , can he live in a different city? Most transactions are done electronically nowadays. Although, you still need to deal with them personally once a year for the dreaded visa extension.

select cardless withdrawal at the ATM, and authorise it using the app, it is free for out of area withdrawals, it is usually ฿15 for out of area withdrawals, only if you use the physical card.
