Can I open a Thai bank account while on a tourist visa?

Russell ******

Kasicorn bank is the easiest. SCB can be very touchy! SCB refused me even though I had proof of ownership of 4 properties! Just need cash and passport. Better still, take a Thai person.

I've just done 2 months in Thailand. Be aware once you clear customs. It's a nightmare! Waiting for the transport to the quarantine hotel! It's complete chaos! Be ready to sit around for an hour or so. Immigration and customs was easy. I was thru in 5 mins. Any other questions. Just message me and I'll help if I can. Safe travels. 🙏

you don't need e visa. Just a hint. Thai pass doesn't work with outlook email address. It's so much easier with Google mail. 👍
