Does anyone know of a bank in Thailand that has a savings account that has a percentage interest rate similar to a CD in an American Bank to allow the money to grow? 3.50-4.50%. This would be for the marriage requirements to have the $400,000 baht in an account. Is it possible to open an account and just leave it and let it grow?

Has anyone used an agent to open a bank account or has anybody been successful in obtaining a bank account? Having a Thai bank account would make life so much easier 😭

Hey …. So since this bank has a location in Los Angeles… I should just open an account while here and then move to Thailand since the main branches are out there. I can imagine this would be the easiest way to get a Thai account..? Anyone try this before ?

Goal: Is to open a Thai Bank account so I can slowly build up the 800,000 baht over the next two years.

Plan: I will be taking my normal 2 week holiday in Thailand, I will be in and out. But this time , I plan on entering on a Non Immigrant O Retirement visa from my home country.

I want to do what is necessary to open a Thai Bank Account, as if I were going to apply for the Non Immigrant O extension.

If I can secure the Bank Account,. mission successful, and I would exit I hope on the Non O visa after 2 weeks.

I would then apply again for Non O in 2027, When I actually plan on living in Thailand for long term. Again my main purpose on this trip is simply to begin the funding process early and establish the Thai Bank Account, so I can move money a bit at a time.

Will there be any problems on my exit, if I exit after 2 weeks on the Visa. I hope it is my prerogative how long I stay less than the 90 days.

So I've a bangkok bank account.

If I were to drop dead, is there a way that the girlfriend in thailand would be able to get it.

Preferably with not a lot of drama.

Anyone any idea what I can do.

For what it is my family don't need it. I'd much rather she gets it. Will help her a lot more than my immediate family.

Cheers everyone
