What is the easiest way for expats to open a bank account in Thailand?

YouTube has several examples of how to open a Thai bank acct

Have the correct visa and go to the bank

HaHaHaHa

There isn't one. You may have to payment agent.

Go to a major bank with your passport etc and tell them you would like to open an account for the purpose of buying a condominium.....have the names of 2 or 3 you are considering just in case they ask. I did this and walked out with an account and an Atm. I opened another one since then and I had to take two my landlady and her husband with her blue book and a letter from immigration it took hours......it was a BKK Bank in a small town......If I had gone to the next town all I would have needed was a letter from immigration according to the manager.....so all branches are not the same

Go the bank

Spell Thailand first then you can open bank account

Depends on your visa, less than 3 months visa almost impossible. With work permit, long term medical treatment, ED visa, retirement visa, elite visa, condo ownership. LTR and others its easy.

Just as a tourist, no way. (And no point)

Bangkok Bank is usually the easiest. Also K Bank is good too. BKK Bank has office in New York so if from the US easy to transfer.

It would help if you at least spelt Thailand properly 🤪😂😂😂

Pry bar??? Lol.

As stated earlier it will be dependant on your visa status I opened an account with no agent in 45mins because of my visa (non o 90day marriage)

Agent

Mots service pattaya but you need to have Phone and house adress in your name

Time machine go back 20 years was easy

My experience is no easy way unless you have a Non-B, then the schook will take care of it for you. I’ve been in Thailand almost 90 days on an O Retirement visa and just opened an account 2 weeks ago. I’ve been trying for 2 months.

Or I guess use an agent

I do not understand why people have a problem with bank accounts. I went to Bangkok bank with my passport and some USA cash. Ten minutes later I had the bank book in my pocket and left the back.

Maybe start by learning to spell the country properly 😁

Can somebody point me in the direction of an agent in Bangkok that can help me get OA visa and a bank account.

DM me if you can’t advertise here.

A friend of mine opened a account with kbank not so long back.

He took all the required documents, plus a bank statement from his UK bank account, showing a fair amount of money.

Told the bank he wanted to transfer cash in Sterling every month, to thai account less than a hour done sorted, but I recommend taking a thai speaking person with you.

Good luck

Get an address and letter from immagration

Where is thiland?

See an agent

Go into Bangkok Bank of Krungsri. Take your passport, be well dressed, no shorts, no tee shirts, clean shaven. Tell them you are looking at condos / going to buy a condo sometime and you want to set up a bank account so that you can send over 3 or 4 million baht. Thats how I did it back in the day. Good luck.

Thiland? Lol

It would be easier if you could spell

There is agent in Soi 6 near Beach rd Pattaya Mark and Pon.

Give all your money to your thai girl friend and ask her to do it for you

Walk round every Bank branch in your local Mall till one says yes

Worked for me

1. GO to bank 2. Ask 3. If bank unhelpful repeat.

put a million pounds in the bag, go to the bank and ask where you can leave it.

or go see an agent

Drive to the bank and open a account, literally takes less than an hour.

I had to buy an insurance for 5900b and they opened for me.

Not sure how more easy it can get

You need a resident visa good for 1 year or more.And of course money and time.

Scb are the easiest and less hoops..however a proper visa is best

Pay agent
