What interest can I expect on bank accounts in Thailand for my visa requirement?

The interest on bank accounts in Thailand, particularly regarding the 800,000 THB deposit for visa purposes, is generally very low, typically under 1%. Some comments suggest that while savings accounts offer around 0.90% interest, it may not be noticeable and is taxed at 15%. Fixed deposit accounts might provide slightly better interest, but they have restrictions that require the account to allow for immediate access to funds to meet immigration requirements. Individuals are encouraged to inquire about the highest interest rates available from different banks.
