TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the process for opening a USD account at Krungsri Bank in Thailand, specifically needing a confirmation letter from the British Embassy. Commenters provided insights suggesting that if the user has a retirement visa, he might not require the letter and could open the account with just a passport. Additionally, alternative banking options were mentioned, such as seeking assistance from local services like Chiang Mai Helper.

Not needed. If he has a retirement visa, any type, he can open with only his passport. If his bank is a problem use another bank.
