Which city is easier for expats to open a bank account on a visa exempt status, Bangkok or Pattaya?

David *********

if you are here on visa exemption and staying in a hotel you will struggle to open a bank account yourself

What I’m saying is if you choose to use an agent to assist you it is cheaper in Pattaya and the cost will be 3000b and your new account will be at Bangkok bank
