Which Thai banks allow opening multi currency accounts through their App?
Answer summary
The discussion highlights that typically, bank account openings in Thailand, including multi-currency accounts, require in-person visits. Specific mention is made of SCB and its Planet Card, which allows currency conversion and can be managed via an app. Some users have also noted Bangkok Bank as a potential option, although details on current practices are suggested to be verified on the banks' websites.

Have you checked the websites of each major Thai bank? That way you should find the most up to date information for your enquiry? You should find most websites available in English.

If you are asking about Thailand, you cannot open a bank account in Thailand online. Everything must be done in person.

yes Thailand, even if you already have a Thai baht account with the bank? some banks (in other countries) do allow you to open more accounts in other currencies if you already have one account with them.

@Adam *******
yes even if you already have an account with them. Thailand is not other countries, they like actual physical paperwork and you being present for everything
