Which Thai bank is the easiest for a UK citizen to open an account with?

As others have said, it really depends on the individual branch.

I opened an account with SCB in Hua Hin about 10yrs ago when on Tourist Visa. Very straight forward, just needed to show certificate of residence from immigration. I opened a 2nd account with SCB earlier this year in Sisaket on OA Visa. Again very straightforward with certificate of residence from immigration.

i would say thai farmers bank. ex pat friendly

And I think the more Thai stamps in your passport (or the longer the visa), the more likely for success.

Pot luck ofjist go try a few take in at least 10k kasikorn at tuckom and bangkock bang on soi bukhao have know to be helpful

Usually girlfriends bank

Sometimes same bank different branch or just different day

try bangkok bank , 4-5 branch , each branch have different policy

Visa agent

UOB easy

Yes I heard Bangkok bank as well

Everyone will probably have a different answer, because of their experience, for me I found Bangkok bank easy to deal with and quite helpful. Good luck.

SCB

Kasikorn, opened account in KK Central Plaza with just my passport.

Kasikorn..

I have an account with Bangkok Bank, had no issues so far

Also interested in opening bank account

I sent you a message sir.

Unfortunately there is no set answer to this. Each branch of each bank has their own set ways. Some will let you open an account with a visa exempt entry, some insist on a long term visa or even a work permit. There’s no rhyme or reason as to which branch will let you do what. Just takes a bit of leg work trolling through various branches to see which one will let you open an account. Nothing in Thai law stops anyone opening an account on any visa type but the branch manager has sway on what happens in their branch. In tourist type areas you’ll probably have more luck as they’re used to foreigners. In Nakhon si nowhere you are probably going to be out of luck.

Bangkok bank seems to be the one that’s easiest.
