Has anyone used an agent to open a bank account or has anybody been successful in obtaining a bank account? Having a Thai bank account would make life so much easier 😭

TLDR : Answer Summary
Several users in the comments discuss their experiences with opening a Thai bank account, particularly for those holding a DTV visa. While one user found success at SCB, others mentioned significant challenges, especially for DTV holders, and noted that it may require patience and moving between branches. Some suggested going directly to banks or using agents for assistance, although results seem varied. The conversation highlights the complexities and frustrations expats face when trying to establish banking in Thailand.

I opened one last month at SCB. You just have to be patient and respectful. Go branch to branch and ask nicely. If they say no or ไม่ได้ just move to the next branch. You just have to get lucky.

Very difficult but not impossible if you are prepared to part with 20,000 - 30,000 baht.

Mainly in Bangkok

Hey since no one is answering your question, it's currently very difficult to get a bank account for DTV holders, even through an agent. I recently asked a bunch of agents and no one can help.

It's pretty ridiculous how everyone is just saying to search. You know what I found when I searched? Just heaps of threads of people telling people to search lmao
