. I just went thru Thai Visa Centre in Bangkok . I provided a Thai Bank Accnt which I acquired in Chang Mai . I went to Chang Mai Immigration , expedite it , paid 500 baht for the letter to show to Bangkok Bank and opened up a bank account .
Hassle free hit up Thai Visa Centre . If you don’t have 800,000 baht in the account , they will front the money . You need a Thai bank Accnt though . After that they’ll take care of everything . It’s easy to open up a Thai bank Accnt . I did it for 500 baht in Chang Mai . It took me one day . If you have Line , they respond to messages much faster than email .
