TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks advice on opening a bank account in Pattaya with a DTV visa. Community members recommend various agencies such as TikTok Services, FS Consulting, and others, while noting the cost associated with using an agent and suggesting alternatives like the TAGTHAi app for cashless transactions.
Last update I saw is that it's now costing 12,000-15,000 baht to open a bank account with an agent. So be prepared for sticker shock. Determine if you really need a bank account, or if the new TAGTHAi app will be sufficient since it allows you to use QR code payments.
Will be interesting to see if they can. They use the same branch as the others mentioned. All the agents used to be in the bank with their t-shirts on getting places in the queues as clients driven to the bank. Dozens of accounts must have been opened per day at high season a couple of years ago.
