Is the 7000 baht fee for opening a bank account in Thailand applicable to all banks or just Bangkok Bank?

The consensus among commenters is that the approximately 7000 baht fee mentioned is not a standard across all banks in Thailand. It appears to be related to insurance that some banks may attempt to sell during the account opening process, particularly at Bangkok Bank. Many users indicate that opening a bank account should be free and that the fee may pertain to insurance products. Additionally, past fees of around 5000 baht for insurance were noted, along with some confusion regarding agent fees. Overall, it seems that while some branches may require this payment, it is not mandatory for all banks.
