Say i hire a an Agent to help set me up a Bangkok Bank account in BKK. Is there a downside to my future ease of banking if the only branch he has hook-up is 10km away from my Condo in Asoke? Is it easy to later transfer account to branch closer to my home, like one can in US? Additionally, would like recommendations from anyone who knows agent whose turf is in sukhumvit. Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Hiring an agent to open a Bangkok Bank account may simplify the process, but it can have implications for future banking convenience. Most users report that once an account is set up at a specific branch, it remains the 'home' branch, and moving accounts to a closer branch later can be complicated or even impossible without closing the account. Additionally, customers often have to return to the original branch for updates or account management. However, many banking functions can be performed at any branch, and apps can facilitate many transactions without the need to visit the home branch. Recommendations for agents in the Sukhumvit area can be found through user suggestions.
