I see lots of questions about Thai banks. I have been married to my Thai wife for 50+ years. She has a Thai passport and ID card and an American passport, drivers license etc. we live in the USA 🇺🇸.

we are fixing to go to Thailand 🇹🇭 again in January. I want her to open a bank account and add me on the account like here in the USA 🇺🇸.

Is that doable? Also which banks in Bangkok are more user friendly and have less fees?

TIA

I'm on a Non B and need to get another bank account. My partner and I got our visas with a joint account back in early 2023, but I'd like to get my own account.

I bank with Bangkok Bank but they're really bad at opening a new account! They take weeks to confirm it's open, and months to sort internet banking out.

I've been waiting weeks for them to confirm it's open and know the internet banking side is going to make me want to stick a thousand forks in my eyes, so want to look at other options.

Does anyone have an easier bank they can recommend? I'm in Chiang Rai.
