TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses options for expats looking to open a bank account in Thailand on a visa exemption. Some users recommend not heading to Pattaya due to current issues there, suggesting that many agents who used to facilitate these accounts have become problematic. Alternatives include finding services in Bangkok and Rangsit, with specific mentions of SS Thai visa.co and One Stop Visa in Pattaya still offering services.
Best to avoid Pattaya for a while until everything blows over there. Unfortunately most of the agents that would sell a single bank account service were in Pattaya which is what caused the current situation to begin with.
Many of the Bangkok agents only offer bank account services when it's to facilitate another (profitable) service.
