Why is it so difficult for foreigners to open a bank account in Thailand?

Colin ********

SCB, Kasikorn + Kungsri are all easy and don't need a WP, just an ID and an address. If your in a hotel, rent a condo so you have a residential address. Also it would be far cheaper.

However if I can enter Thailand on a visa exempt and get the O visa in Bangkok that may be easier if it's doable. Hence my question.

The school term ends in June here so I will be free to travel then. I can apply a90 day or 1 year O visa here but that will mean my wife sending me our wedding certificate to China.
