How can I open a bank account in Thailand after obtaining a non-O visa?
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon and all the others who give so much of their time to help people in this forum. I joined about a year ago having decided to make the move to Thailand and have closely followed the replies to the many questions from people on various topics. I found the advice and information invaluable. I applied for my non-O in Madrid 4 weeks ago, arrived in Thailand on Friday, went to Immigration this morning and opened a bank account this afternoon. Everything was straightforward but only because of the support offered on this forum. Thanks guys, keep up the good work! PS Any idea where I can get hold of 800, 000 baht? (Only kidding😅)
