Hi Banking question for you knowledgeable folks

I have an account with Krungsri Bank which unfortunately limits transfers via Wise to 50k baht per transaction I’m in the US now so considering transferring a larger amount via IBAN (bank to bank) Am I still restricted on the amount and will I benefit in regards to fees? Thanks

Hi, Finally i am allowed to open a bank account, can you share how you chose which local bank to do that with? Tnx!

* Update* conclusions:

only 3 banks allow transfer of 50k BHT and above : (Bangkok, Siam and Kbank) so that makes others much less attractive for expats. Bangkok Bank is common choice maybe because you can have a foreign currency account there and it has branches outside Asia (LON&NY), but on the other hand it has the tendency to offer its customers to buy insurance (which I dislike).

(any mistakes- PM me)

THANK YOU ALL !!

Possible for tourists to open Thai bank? Requirements, etc? Best bank(s) for ferang? thx! 🙏

Does anyone from U S. Get social security direct deposit to Krungsri bank.

Hi my husband needs to open a USD account within his Krungsri bank account and has been advised that he will need a letter confirming his address book and passport, from the British Embassy.

Can anybody help with information on this process or an agent to contact please?

Thank you in advance.

I have a Thai bank account at Government Savings Bank. The services available at this bank are only for Thai citizens from what I understand.

I live in Ratchaburi.

I need a bank that gives me scan to pay. Any ideas?

Hi, looking for a bank that can open bank account on a tourist visa. I wish to open it for my father as it's a condition for retirement visa. Would Krungsri do it? Or are there specific banks and branches who would do it?

Edited: Sorry, bad english perhaps. My father will be present and open account himself.

Thanks

Trying to open a Thai Bank account so I apply for my Retirement visa.

On a tourist visa currently and so far 5 banks in BKK have denied me.

Suggestions??? And dont say "Use an Agent" Unless you have one to recommend. That's a useless contribution.
