Is it better to have both bank accounts for visa extension and daily expenses at the same bank or at different banks in Thailand?

Many expats opt to maintain separate bank accounts in Thailand for different purposes: one account for the 800,000 baht required for visa extensions and another for daily transactions. Most commenters suggest that having both accounts at the same bank simplifies management and documentation for immigration purposes, although some caution against exceeding insurance limits by recommending accounts at different banks for added safety. Overall, experiences reflect both successful strategies, with no significant issues reported.
