Which bank and branch can I open a bank account with a Non-B visa in Thailand?

The best bank to open an account at is the same one your employer uses, making direct deposit of your wages easier. You will need, at the very least, a residence certificate that in Bangkok you can get from immigration, but only after you've completed at least one 90 day report. With that, and your passport with your type B visa in it will get you an account. Each bank might want more, but you're not a tourist so it is very easy to do at any bank.

You should be able to open a bank account yourself, even if you are on a tourist visa or visa exempt stamp. All banks have different requirements. All branches have different requirements. Even within a branch two staff members may give very different answers. Find a branch of the bank you want (I use Bangkok Bank in Doi Saket), in an area with lots of foreigners. Go to the bank with your passport and a friend who holds an account at that branch. Have 100,000 thb to deposit. Should work but many banks/branches will also require a certificate of residence from Immigration. But instead, you could offer a letter from your hotel/ hostel/ Airbnb/ friends house stating that you stay there. Doi Saket Bangkok will work with that

Passport , proof of residence, Thai phone number, copy of visa/ work permit , anything else you can think of. You may have to try quite a few banks and even branches of banks to get one.

if non-B almost all

It's a Lottery. Best chances probably at Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn. Bring your Passport, a certificate of residence and if possible, a recommendation of your employer/ company, as you're on non-b.
