Hi, Finally i am allowed to open a bank account, can you share how you chose which local bank to do that with? Tnx!

* Update* conclusions:

only 3 banks allow transfer of 50k BHT and above : (Bangkok, Siam and Kbank) so that makes others much less attractive for expats. Bangkok Bank is common choice maybe because you can have a foreign currency account there and it has branches outside Asia (LON&NY), but on the other hand it has the tendency to offer its customers to buy insurance (which I dislike).

(any mistakes- PM me)

THANK YOU ALL !!

Good morning all

Can anyone inform me of what documents are required to open a Thai bank account thanks

Hi all.

I sent some money to a friend in Phuket from Australia. For some reason it was short nearly 1000 Thai Baht. Does anyone know why a fee may have been taken.
