opened one yesterday with Bangkok bank near walking street in Pattaya.

Had a person who's not Thai citizen to translate.

They looked at my passport, it's new so no previous entry stamps were there, which they didn't like much.

The bank told me to get 1 year insurance with them or a letter from the embassy.

I didn't bother with the letter, paid 7100 (5900 insurance, 501 deposit, rest I guess is a card fee) and all done in about 20 mins.
