TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks assistance in opening a bank account in Bangkok as a Russian expat without a long-term visa after renting a condo. Comments suggest potential agents and services, including Siam Legal and Thai Visa Center, as well as specific agencies in Pattaya known for assisting with bank account openings. Recommendations include consulting F.S. Consulting and paying around 4500 baht for a Bangkok Bank account, even while on a tourist visa. Enrollment in an EDVISA for learning Thai might also facilitate the process by providing necessary documentation.

If you want to go to Pattaya, there are a few agencies. TikTok services and MOTS are the ones that I know that are reliable. I believe it will cost 4500 baht for an account in Bangkok bank

I believe both won’t offer that service unless it’s part of a visa package.
