TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around various experiences with Thai banks, particularly focusing on account services, issuance of 12-month statements, and the convenience of digital banking. Users share mixed opinions, highlighting UOB's open-minded policies and efficiency, while also mentioning complications with international transfers from platforms like WISE. Additionally, Bangkok Bank's services for retirees are positively noted, including the ability to order annual statements online.

Bangkok Bank still issues letters for retirees. I got one about ten days ago. Plus the annual statements you can now order through the app, and they are emailed to you the next day which saves going into the bank branch. Very convenient

UOB is amazing because it’s Singapore and they are opened minded to opening an account yet strict.
