Has anyone had any luck opening ANY kind of bank account in the last two weeks, specifically in Bangkok? If so list bank and branch or your reply isn't worth much. I've been to about 25 branches in two days.

Ok, I'm pretty sure thus is what we need to do. We are slowly getting things ready to retire in Thailand. I know we each need our own bank account with 800000tbh each. But I would think we would want a joint account in Thailand to use. So would you recommend us having our own accounts to satisfy the visa needs and keep them over 800000k or just have 3 accounts? Especially knowing it's getting a little harder to open bank accounts

Any suggestions on what bank to go with under the DTV? Do you get a bank card instantly? (I’m only in khon kaen for 1-2 days).

Right now I’m in isan but I’ll probably eventually move to Pattaya. Should I wait and open the account in Pattaya or just do it today in isan?

Banks? I live in Karon Beach. I just received my. Non-O immigrant visa. Next is to open a bank account. I assume it probably would be a branch in Patong.

Do people have a Bank to recommend?

Bangkok ? Kasikorn?

I guess I’m looking for decent customer . Also if I put ฿800,000 in there for a year, I would like to get some kind of return

Bank account with TTB

After reports in this group that TTB accepts the DTV for opening bank accounts, I visited the Central Festival Pattaya branch. And they refuse to even consider opening an account without a work permit.

Has anyone opened a bank account with them recently? If so, which branch? I don't mind going to Bangkok or another nearby city to open an account.

TIA

Regarding Bank Accounts (as well as other non-DTV) items TikTok has just posted this. I am posting this in DTV about the new banking regulatory requirements only.

They are very well connected and have been around a long time.

Does the 500,000 baht have to be in one single account or can it be spread across a couple of accounts all in my name?
