TLDR : Answer Summary
The cost of using an agency to open a bank account in Thailand varies widely, typically ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 baht depending on the agency and whether the service is bundled with a visa application. Many agencies have discontinued providing bank account-only services. An example from a user mentioned paying 5,900 baht as part of a package costing around 22,000 baht, while others have independently opened accounts for 5,000 to 6,000 baht, typically requiring a tourist visa and supporting documents.

Just go to Bangkok Bank and accept the insurance for 5900b

You can do it yourself for nothing, a lot of people do, what visa do you have.
You also get from the bank at the same visit a ATM card and a Bangkok Bank account book
They (Tik Tok agency) even paid 500 baht into my account when it was opened so I give it back to the girls in the office as a tip for the excellent service from the staff π
New bank reporting rules introduced in April this year has been a very big clamp. Over the years I've had about six different accounts, never been a problem. A couple of months ago I wanted to move my branch to another branch (both within Bangkok), but caused too many issues so I just left it as it was. Certainly not as easy as it used to be

Usually around 5000 baht. But some agencies have stopped offering bank account only services and will only offer to open a bank account if you also use them for your visa or extension. Then it can be anywhere from 16-30k
