TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation explores the challenges and recommendations for opening a Thai bank account while on a Tourist visa in Bangkok. One user highlights that it's not easy, while another mentions that in Pattaya, it is relatively straightforward with the help of an agent like F.S. Consulting. Caution is advised as some participants suggest it may not be advisable to pursue this route. Siam Legal in Bangkok is also suggested as a potential service provider, with contact information shared.

Pattaya is an hour and half away. Don't mess around with complicated bank clerks, book 3 nights in a Pattaya hotel, visit the agency and get it done

I've called in 3 different banks , and they have changed security policy since last year. Now only work permit or Student visa or retirement visa is necessary to have to open an account
