Sukhumvit soi 43, Bangkok bank. Don't look further

Including car depreciation a taxi will work out cheaper in the long run, especially if not used every day. I use my car once a week to go distances over 5km, usually to Tesco. I have a Honda Click for daily shopping to and local Big C etc. I get 50km to the litre.

I drive to the beach 4 times a year or Issaan once a year. I have had my Toyota Ativ 1 year and 1 month, only driven 5,800km. I use the car if I have to drive into central Bangkok about 20km away and get 20km/litre in the city.

it's possible. It's only for bank use, not immigration purposes.

I opened an account a year ago with no problem. I congratulated the lady on ease of opening. But they still did have to make copies and I had to sign many forms.

They speak good English. I only had to show my rental contract, passport etc.They did NOT ask for a work permit..but Bangkok bank at Khao San turned me down because of no work permit.

Go to Bangkok bank, soi 43 Sukhumvit road.

I guarantee you success

I visited UK with my 2 daughters aged 11 and 14, 4 years ago from Thailand.

At airport Bangkok they did question momentarily but I had documentation stating mother had allowed the holiday both ways.

Show copy mother's id card and phone number. Mother was at the airport just in case.

Allowed twice in 2016 and 2018.

I had no need for lawyer etc

Bangkok Bank soi 43 Sukhumvit has staff who speak English and will facilitate opening an account, or statement for yearly visa requirements

Some immigration offices have different requirements, ie Nonthaburi wants 3 photo copies of passport pages each 90 days, but obviously not needed if I do it online.

I expect driving license offices have varying requirements as well which is frustrating.

I notified my 90 days Monday 9pm and received approval 9.01 am next day.

Don't use the old app.

Use this..
