Yellow book is preferable with most banks for sure.
The yellow book in recent times has generally getting more accepted, but there will will be difference in offices and types of business. So for example two banks from the same company one might accepted the other the certificate of residence.
yes I took care of that about 8 months ago with Bangkok bank but I came back to USA shortly after getting my extension and didn’t have time to provide new visa with them so…frozen but seems the prudent thing to do in Thailand is to have multiple accounts just in case
