Can not now

Send me a message if you are in Bangkok!

I sent message to you and I can it in Bangkok, but now only Krung Thai Bank.

Without workpermit impossible

I sent you a message with the agent that I used recently

It is quite hard but some agents might still do it for a hefty fee. Pattaya seems to be out. I saw a quote for Chiang Mai at 40k which is frankly outrageous. Look in the group for Bangkok agents. They might have an option. Last I saw was around 15k depending on passport.

Close to nowhere.

You need a long term visa to be eligable for a Thai bank account, not a tourist visa as DTV.

It is a misunderstanding that you need a Thai bankaccount.

Scroll the group, and see all the many previous answers of that question.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Be aware there is a error in the start of the article ( and several other copy - paste media with the same article )

A Thai Bankaccount has never been a requirement to get DTV, on the contrary it has been one of the big advantage over other visa, that you could get DTV as long as you could show 500.000 Baht equivalent in any bank anywhere in the world.

It has never been the intention that DTV visaholders should be in need of a Thai bankaccount.
