Tried to open an account with Krungthai bank.
They wanted a letter from my embassy about where Im living and a Thai drivers license.
They wouldn't accept any of my immigration paperwork I had on me at the time.

I use K bank , here is the steps I used , go to immigration and get recidency cert. Go to bank with cert , passport and visa , open account ( takes a while). ask them to put app on your mobile . I used WISE to transfer the required 800k baht . wait 2 months then go immigration to get 1 year extension to non O , take cash 1900 + 3600 if you want multi entry . Not too difficult if you prepair in advance . when at immigration ask for forms for extension and fill out before returning (BLUE pen for some strange reason ) good luck

We use K+ bank (Green bank) & transfer via Remitly. 1st visit to Imm to set up plan to include docs from Imm including convenient K bank location. Then, work the plan.
