This advice is not for opening a Thai Bank account,, rather for getting cash from US to Thailand. I have been told by a friend, not sure how reliable the info is, that you can open an account with Fidelity USA, then withdraw cash from the Fidelity account anywhere in the world fee free. Your Fidelity account acts as an investment and checking account.

If you have a local Fidelity Investment office, speak to them.

I have not investigated, but a friend who travels extensively says its a great way to access your funds from one country to another free of charge.
