TLDR : Answer Summary
If your bank account in Thailand has been frozen after entering on a tourist visa and you want to sell your condo, the first step is to secure a valid visa that allows you to have a bank account. Some users suggest that selling the condo might allow you to transfer funds to another account. You can also inquire with your bank about opening a non-resident account, which may be limited in functionality but could still be an option. It is noted that banks may not permanently freeze accounts, and getting the appropriate visa is crucial for financial transactions and property rights.
You may contact bank and request for non residential bank account. It is only allow transaction over the counter or at the branch only it is an inconvenience but at least you still can open new bank account with tourist visa.
Also if you was saving money into that account to buy a condo, but it got frozen & they gave you your money back, when you do eventually get the right visa & open another account & pay that money in, it will go in as a local transaction & not an international transaction.
