Answer summary
Opening a bank account in Thailand can be challenging for expats due to various regulations and requirements. A Reddit link discusses these difficulties, and a comment suggests that using services like TrueMoney or opening a bank account in Cambodia with ABA might be viable alternatives, especially for compatibility with the Thai QR payment system.
