Is 80,000 THB a Fair Price to Open a Thai Bank Account?

@David *******

As I said in my post, you got extremely lucky. Many people come on here all the time saying how hard it is and ASKING for names of agents. And paying agents encourages them to screw people over?? The owners of this site made this a forum for people to come on and ask for advice and for experienced people, especially the moderators, to help them with useful tips and explanations on how things work. By the way, THEY are agents, yea, they sound like real blood suckers. And it’s actually quite fun to shlep from bank to bank hoping you’ll get one that will even consider it?? Ok, what if you don’t have a Visa and you’re here on an exemption, then what? Try that and tell me how “easy” it is. And “basic” paperwork? Ok, if you say so. Oh well, you got it, good for you. But it’s not that simple for everyone, in fact, downright impossible for some…except with an agent. All that said, I am NOT an agent, don’t work for an agent and have only dealt with one agent, that I learned of through You Tube. When people ask for recommendations, I tell them Mark at One Stop Visa in Pattaya because he knows what he is talking about.

I went to Siam mall branch near mbk back in April this year

@David *******

they deposited 700 baht and 300 baht they charged for issuing debit card which ofcourse was optional

@Tim *******

maybe not but this is the list of requirements for this specific branch of Bangkok Bank. Every bank or branch maybe different.

last week l opened an account bkk bank. No issue had all the required documents took awhile but hey l got time. She even set up the app for me it's great. The original person called over the manager little bit of talking amongst the 3 of us all good to go.

@David *******

it's not the teller you speak to

@Ian *******

but unless you are American you need a Thai partner and then they can just go open the account. Maybe 🤔

@Sa***

and what’s worse is your clearly have no idea how financial services work and that in most countries around the world you can pay to open an account. Silly woman

@Sa***

maybe it’s just you are horrible. Wow what a nasty comment again.

@Sa***

what a horrible comment. People ask for advice and your advice is an insult. Wow bet you feel better for it though.
