On my last day in Thailand, I decided to try to open a Thai bank account, I just walked into a Bangkok bank in Pattaya. I was expecting that I will be rejected as I entered Thailand on 30 days visa exemption. I have no any type of Visa, no lease agreement, no fixed address, I just live in a hotel. To my surprise, the guy said Ok, I just need to purchase a one year travel accident insurance. It costs 5900 baht. I decided to go for it,. I think this is the money that worthy spending. It saves me a lot of hassle. So, I paid, after about one hour,. My first Thailand Bank account was opened!! Online banking is also set up. Just wanted to share with you.
