Can tourists open a bank account with a debit or credit card in Thailand?

Chris *********

I've always had a work permit when opening an account, but I've seen ppl here saying some branches of some banks will let you open one without a w-p. What I do know is that foreigners who dont have a local salary of at least 100K have to open a fixed account holding twice the amount as your desired credit limit.

we tourists and expats will not forget how Thai imm has treated us during this crisis and when it's over there will likely be a shit-tsunami of nut-kicking bad PR about how they endangered so many lives because of their inflexible and officious attitude. Utterly inexcusable.
