Any suggestions for opening bank account in Thailand? Which banks are popular among foreigners?

Hi, Can you share experience with SIAM BANK: online application, Eng service on 24/7 Tel-line. etc? Tnx!

I have a question about the 800k in regards to retirement visa.

Since I am in Thailand, I never touched the 800k which i had in a fixed deposit with Bangkok Bank.

So far so good, never a problem. Now I want to move all my Bangkok Bank accounts to Siam Commercial Bank.

Is there anything I need to be aware of in regards to the 800k? I renewed my retirement visa on 31st of October 2023. It expires on 6th of November 2024.

Is there a time limit the 800k need to stay in the Bangkok Bank account given I renewed my visa on 31st of October? If yes, do I need a confirmation letter from Bangkok Bank that the money stayed in the account for the required period?

Hi, need to open Thai bank account, which banks do the expats favour?

Guys any advice on account opening with TV?

Kasikorn being difficult

Hello everyone..I read different opinions about opening a bank account in Thailand..Im going there on TR visa (60) days and I’m hoping to apply for Non O visa at 50 years old next year(Not sure if I’m applying for Non O -A visa in my country yet) Kasikorn,Bangkok Bank and Siam Commercial Bank all can take transfers over 50,000 baht through ~Transfers Wise~

If I can get one open now it will be easier to have my 800,000 baht come time..Any suggestions? 🙏🏼 Ps.. All have a Thai address I can use…

Hi, I saw something about 50,000 baht limit with transfers to banks in Thailand. Wise has put this notification on their app(Kasikorn, Siam commercial not affected) . My query is is this amount daily, weekly etc.
