Which bank should I choose to open an account in Bangkok with a NON-O Visa?

The conversation revolves around recommendations for banks in Thailand for individuals with a NON-O Visa, particularly for retirement purposes. Many commenters advise against Bangkok Bank due to recent issues with account closures and recommend alternatives like Kasikorn Bank and Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), noting that experiences can vary by branch. The consensus suggests that customers should be prepared with necessary documents like a passport, lease agreement, and possibly a residency certificate, and may have to visit multiple branches to find one with suitable service.
