ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights various agents and services in Pattaya that can assist expats with opening bank accounts. Recommendations include several specific agents such as J&E, MOTS, and One Stop Visa & Driving License Service, with prices typically ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 Baht. Users note that having a long-term visa (over a year) may allow individuals to open accounts independently, and references are made to regulations regarding account openings that may have recently changed. Notably, it is emphasized that while assistance from agents is helpful, there are important considerations, such as the necessity of retrieving any swallowed ATM cards in person.
