TLDR : Answer Summary

Opening a bank account in Thailand can be challenging for foreigners, particularly depending on the type of visa you hold. Popular banks among expats include Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank. Many recommend using agents to simplify the process, especially for those on tourist visas. Required documents typically include a passport, a certificate of residence, and sometimes, proof of a long-term visa. Experiences have varied, with some finding success easily while others face numerous rejections. Therefore, persistence and exploring different branches are often necessary.

Bangkok Bank and K-bank are the most likely - BUT in can vary from branch to branch - so if they say no, just try another branch

Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn … if not on a long term visa the opening an account is increasingly impossible without an agent. Especially in BKK.

If you plan on traveling around SE Asia….United Overseas Bank (UOB) have branch’s all through SE Asia.

Otherwise GSB. “Gov’t Savings Bank”. They have branches in every small village throughout Thailand, unlike many of the other more mainstream commercial banks.

I’ve been living in Phuket for over the past 26yrs and though I have accounts with other banks, UOB and GSB are my two primary banks.

I opened up Kasikorn account at a small store branch office in Khon Kaen with my wife doing all the talking. Deposited 1000 BHT with no issues. Had to provide a paper from immigration to certify my address and passport. I think the gal thought I was opening it up for a marriage visa. Anyhow the biggest problem was that she wanted to sign my name exactly the same on every document.

I have NEVER used an agent in 18 years. I can understand guys may not have the funds..or the usual suspect will say it's cheaper to keep your money in UK or wherever and that interest will meet the agents fee + a bit left over.

The word 'agent' always appears in this forum. Surely the OP's know this already?

I have had a Bangkok Bank account for many years and wanted a 2nd account, one for immigration purposes and one for everyday spending, despite being a customer for many years they refused me. I walked into a Siam Commercial Bank in my local Lotus’s and opened a new account within about 30 mins, no problems and I have a very damaged passport. It is very much luck of the drawer and patience is needed.

Simple, use Bangkok Bank and pay an agent to do it for you, if you are on a tourist visa. If you're on a long-stay visa (e.g. OA, O, Elite, DTL, etc) then just go to the bank with your passport.

I'm going to assume that you got lucky while you were on your tourist visa and you were able to get a bank account without the need to go to several banks...correct? Well, you are not the norm. Time and time again I've seen posts in this group and in other groups where people talk about having been turned down at multiple banks, when trying to open an account on a tourist visa. Personally, I'd much rather drop ฿3K and know I'm going to walk away with an open account, than bounce from bank to bank to bank, hoping I might get an account but hey, that's just me.

The limit of 50,000 Baht in international transfers is ONLY for people who use WISE to transfer the money and ONLY for people using a bank OTHER THAN Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank or Kasikorn Bank. Consider these three banks first (I have Kasikorn).

you mean Bangkok Bank. There are other banks that are as popular as BBL: Kasikorn, SCB, TMB are good examples (especially outside of the Bangkok area). UOB is also very popular as it is singaporian with branches in the region.

Not sure what an agent will do for you.

Just go to the bank with your passport.

If you don’t speak thai, choose a large branch as they probably have someone speaking english + experience in dealing with foreigners.

You might be able to open an account without a resident visa in a few branches in tourist areas and/or largest branches.
