good luck opening the account. I'm over in December and will be in Chiang Rai catching up with friends there

Understood. You really should be able to open a Thai bank account. I had an account with Bangkok Bank also. I got to know the manager and some of the staff quite well. Shame I'm not there now.

I'd be inclined to open a multi currency account with Wise!

I know it is more difficult now. I'd just keep trying different banks until one accepts you. Siam Commercial

Bank, Krungthai, UOB. Maybe take a trip to Central Plaza and ask at the branches there?
