it never was easy, but never was impossible.

@Steffen *******

it always was hit and miss, but people saying you can't do it just never tried further than their 1st attempt.

@Carl *******

your school report: "could do better, must try harder"

best answer.

lol what, when did I say I am normal? And why Mr Tourist? I'm married here, one kid and one on the way, have my own house, have had several businesses, oh and 13 years here I've been to Pattaya once, last year for a football match.

@Edna ******

certainly! 1st, obtain a residents certificate from either immigration or the "agent" who works there (the latter is faster), then walk or drive to the bank and politely ask if you can open an account. You will likely be turned down at the 1st few places, it helps if you ask some other farangs in your area which particularly bank branch is known the commonly open new accounts.

Normal girls are boring.

Chiang Mai Gate branch is an old favourite for Bangkok Bank, for me it's merely the biggest branch of those not far from my house.
