Why can't I open a bank account in Thailand with a Workcation DTV?
I'm currently in Koh Lanta and am trying to open a bank account with a Workcation DTV and all banks refused. Any advice?
Summary so far
The user is facing difficulties opening a bank account in Koh Lanta with a Workcation DTV visa, as banks have refused to accommodate their request. Comments suggest obtaining a residence certificate from immigration for better chances and considering options in Krabi or Bangkok, although success rates may be low due to the DTV being classified as a tourist visa.

no bank in krabi will open a bank for you on a dtv. sad but true

Get a residence certificate from immigration. Then go to Krabi and try there. But I'd still only give you a 10% chance of being successful. Thai banks do not generally open accounts for tourists, and the DTV is classified as a tourist visa.

Try Bangkok
