Recommendations for an Agent to help get a bank account?

Seen a few people mention using an agent to get a bank account sorted.

Can anyone recommend an agent for this? 

Keen to open with Bangkok Bank, and obviously on a DTV.

Answer summary

Users in the community discuss recommendations for agents who can assist in opening a bank account in Thailand, specifically with Bangkok Bank. It's noted that agents may charge different fees depending on the location, with mentions of 5,000 THB in Pattaya and higher fees elsewhere. Additionally, there's a conversation about potential withdrawal fees when using ATM services across different cities, and advice is given for those considering opening an account independently.

Correct this if its wrong, a few people mentioned if you sign up for a bank acvount in another city....e.g. Chaing Mai, and get your bank card...but then proceed to make withdrawals from ATMs in Bangkok or Khon Kaen for example, you will be charged additional withdrawal fees?

Heads up. Use an agent where you can go to their office in person. Today there are posts where TikTok Services screenshot used by scammers . They will give you a different Line ID that TikToks. Go in person. It is not just TikTok these scammers copy.
