I have never had a visa to thailand and have a thai bank account.

I have never used an agent.

I do not have a thai wife.

I downloaded the criteria for opening a bank account and produced all documents required.

I dressed well and was respectful.

I did this at a branch where no one spoke english and I don't speak thai.

All through google translate.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
